Mercury and Alcohol are two common liquids used in thermometers. The boiling point of MERCURY is 357 degree C, while its freezin

g point is -39 degree C; For ALCOHOL, the boiling point is 78 degree C and the freezing point is -80 degree C; It is required in a laboratory to make measurements which are in the region of -60 degree C. Which type of thermometer would be more suitable? (ASSET)

Answer:

Alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohol would be more suitable for making measurements in a -60 degree laboratory, since its boiling point is 78 degrees and its freezing point is -80 degrees, meaning alcohol will not freeze in a -60 degree environment.

Mercury on the other hand, has a freezing point of -39. Thus, it will freeze in a -60 degree environment, making it not suitable for use in this laboratory.

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for the parabola y equals start fraction one over three end fraction left parenthes
wariber [46]
The correct axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Explanation:

Our equation is
y=\frac{1}{3}(x+1)^2-3.

This is in vertex form, which is 
y = a(x-h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.

In our equation, h corresponds with -1 and k corresponds with -3, making the vertex (-1, -3).

The axis of symmetry is the x-coordinate of the vertex; this makes the axis of symmetry for this equation x = -1.

U = (-2,3)

V = (3,0)

midpoint of UV

= ( (3-2)/2 , (3+0)/2 )

= ( 1/2 , 3/2)

= ( 0.5 , 1.5)

X = (0.5 , 1.5) [from fig]

midpoint of UV = X

W= (-2,-3)

V =( 3.0)

Y = ( (-2+3)/2 , (-3+0)/2 )

= (0.5 , - 1.5)

Y = ( 0.5 , -1.5) [ from fig ]

Y is the midpoint of WV

by midpoint theorem ,

UW = 2( XY )
