Answer:

Let x be the number of silver medals.

As there were two more gold medals than silver ones, gold medals are x+2

We also know that the number of bronze medals was 4 less than the sum of gold and silver, so if there are x + 2 of gold and x of silver, there are x+x+2-4 of bronze.

Now, we can do an equation, as we know there were a total of 28 medals:

x + x + 2 + x + x + 2 - 4 = 28

And we isolate x:

4x = 28

x = 28/4 = 7

There were 7 silver medals, so there were 9 gold ones (7-2) and 12 of bronze (9+7-4).

Explain why the graph of quadratic function could not contain both a minimum vertex and a maximum vertex at the same time.
KonstantinChe [14]
A quadratic function is a function of the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c. The vertex, (h,k) of a quadratic function is determined by the formula: h= \frac{-b}{2a} and k=f(h); where h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex. The value of a determines if the <span>parabola opens upward or downward; if</span>a is positive, the parabola<span> opens upward and the vertex is the minimum value, but if </span>a is negative <span>the graph opens downward and the vertex is the maximum value. Since the quadratic function only has one vertex, it </span><span>could not contain both a minimum vertex and a maximum vertex at the same time.</span>
