Answer:

  • pitcher: $48 million
  • shortstop: $8 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of salaries can be written as ...

   short : pitcher = 1 : 6

Then the fraction of the total that the shortstop received is ...

  short : total = 1 : (1+6) = 1 : 7

The shortstop's salary was (1/7)×($56 million) = $8 million.

The pitcher's salary was 6 times that, so 6×($8 million) = $48 million.

The pitcher's salary was $48 million; the shortstop's, $8 million.

Answer:

• multiplied by 4p: (x -h)² +4pk = 0

• zeros for k > 0: none

• zeros for k = 0: one

• zeros for k < 0: two

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Multiplying by 4p removes the 1/(4p) factor from the squared term, but adds a factor of 4p to the k term. (It has no effect on the subsequent questions or answers, so we wonder why we're doing this.) The result is ...

(x -h)² +4pk = 0

__

b) The value of k is the vertical location of the vertex of the parabola with respect to the x-axis. The parabola opens upward, so for k > 0, the parabola does not cross the x-axis, and the number of real zeros is zero. (There are two complex zeros.)

__

c) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is zero, the vertex of the parabola is on the x-axis, so there is one real zero (It is considered to have multiplicity 2.)

__

d) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is negative, the vertex of the parabola is below the x-axis. Since the parabola opens upward, both branches will cross the x-axis, resulting in two real zeros.

_____

The attached graph shows a parabola with p=1/4 and h=2. The values shown for k are +1, 0, and -1. The coordinates of the real zeros are shown.

The triangle on the grid will be translated two units left. On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (negative 1, negati
nignag [31]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of triangle ABC are (-1, -1), (-1, -5) and (0.5, -5).

We need to find the coordinates of triangle when it is translated two units left.

So, the rule of translation is

(x,y)\rightarrow (x-2,y)

Using this rule, we get

A(-1,-1)\rightarrow A'(-1-2,-1)=A'(-3,-1)

B(-1,-5)\rightarrow B'(-1-2,-5)=B'(-3,-5)

C(0.5,-5)\rightarrow C'(0.5-2,-5)=C'(-1.5,-5)

The vertices of triangle A'B'C' are A'(-3,-1), B'(-3,-5) and C'(-1.5,-5).

Therefore, the correct option is B.
