Answer:
1 1/3 as a decimal is 1.333 so i think the answer would be 1.3, 1.34, then 1.333
C because -3 is less than 2 and we’ll stay the same
Answer:
20 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts are symmetrically located around the x-coordinate of the vertex, so are at
1.5 ± 5/2 = {-1, 4}
Using one of these we can find the unknown parameter "a" in the parabola's equation (in vertex form) ...
0 = a(4 -1.5)² +12.5
0 = 6.25a +12.5 . . . . . simplify
0 = a +2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6.25
-2 = a
Then the standard-form equation of the parabola is ...
y = -2(x -1.5)² +12.5 = -2(x² -3x +2.25) +12.5
y = -2x² +6x +8
This tells us the y-intercept is 8. Then the relevant triangle has a base of 5 units and a height of 8. Its area is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(5)(8) = 20 . . . . units²
Volume of cube=side length cubed
1/4^3=0.015625in^3
Hold up. Hee haw. Whoa!
Your first instinct was to multiply it out and get rid of the parentheses.
That's often a good instinct, but this time, it made things harder for you.
This is a good example of a rule you should consider:
Before you do anything to anything, sit back, relax,
LOOK at the problem, THINK about it, and plan your
strategy. Decide what the solution might look like,
and what you're going to do to the given information
in order to move towards the solution.
You might look at this particular equation and ponder:
-- If I multiplied this thing out and got rid of the parentheses, it would
have x³ in it. So there are going to be 3 solutions.
-- If either factor is zero, then the equation is true.
-- One of the factors is 6x. Setting that to zero gives one solution: x=0.
-- The other two solutions come from setting (4x² - 4) = 0 .
-- That's the difference of 2 squares, so it's (2x + 2) (2x - 2) = 0
-- The other 2 solutions come from setting each of those factors to zero.
There you are. You got this far just by thinking, without even picking up
your pencil yet.
