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.

Only find the vertex and axis of symmetry
lara [203]

Answer:

vertex (5,2)

axis of symmetry: x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex (h,k)

y = a(x - h)² + k

f(x)=(x-5)²+2        a = 1     h = 5      k = 2

vertex (5 , 2)

The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola. The x -coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

x = 5
