Answer:

a = 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the parabola is

y = a(x-h)^2 +k

where (h,k) is the vertex

y = a(x-2)^2 -4

We have a point on the parabola (-3,-3) so substitute this into the equation

-3 = a(-3-2)^2 -4

-3 = a(-5)^2 -4

Add 4 to each side

-3+4 = a(25) +4-4

1 = 25a

Divide each side by 25

1/25 = a

y = 1/25(x-2)^2 -4

nlexa [21]
Given that the population can be modeled by P=22000+125t, to get the number of years after which the population will be 26000, we proceed as follows:
P=26000
substituting this in the model we get:
26000=22000+125t
solving for t we get:
t=4000/125
t=32
therefore t=32 years
This means it will take 32 years for the population to be 32 years. Thus the year in the year 2032

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for kilometers, so all amounts have to be calculated in the same units -- kilometers.

Convert meters to kilometers.

600 m = .6 km

700 m = .7 km.

Add the amounts:

Fri.:       .6 km

Sat.     3 km

Sun.:   2.7 km.

--------------------------------

6.3 km.

Leia cuts congruent triangular patches with an area of 45 square centimeters from a rectangular piece of fabric that is 18 centi
zimovet [89]
The number of patches that Leia can cut from 32 pieces of the fabric measuring  18 cm by 10 cm will be as follows:
Number of pieces=[total area of fabric]/[area of patch]
area of fabric=18×10=180 cm²
Area of 32 patches=180×32=5760 cm²

Area of patch=45 cm²

Number of patches=5760/45=128 patches

Five bikers join a race. In how many possible ways can they be arranged as
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

60 different possibilities

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bikers = 5

Positions = first, second and third

First positions = all 5 riders can take the first spot = 5 possibilities

Second spot = position 1 has been filled hence number of possibilities = ( 5 - 1) = 4

Third spot = position 1 and 2 has been filled ; number of possibilities =. (5 - 2). = 3

Number of possible arrangements :

5 * 4 * 3 = 60 different possibilities
