Answer:

0.05090909 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

28 is to p as 550 is to 1

is what you should ask yourself

so 550 times p equals 28 times 1 (crossmultiplying)

550p=28

now divide 28 by 550 to find p, the length of the scale model

=0.05090909

A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the n

sp2606 [1]

Let the number of adults be x, then number of male students is 1 + 7x and the number of female students is (1 + 7x)/2.
x + 1 + 7x + (1 + 7x)/2 = 82
2x + 2 + 14x + 1 + 7x = 164
23x = 164 - 2 - 1 = 161
x = 161/23 = 7

Therefore, number of male students is 1 + 7(7) = 1 + 49 = 50
and the number of female students is 50/2 = 25.

Determine the direction that this parabola opens y=4x^2+8x+2

just olya [345]

For this case we have a quadratic equation of the form:
$ax ^ 2 + bx + c
$
What we must keep in mind to know which direction opens the parabola, is the value of a.
We have two options:
If a <0 the parabola opens down
If a> 0 the parabola opens up
We have the following equation:
$y = 4x ^ 2 + 8x + 2
$
We observed that:
$a = 4 (a\ \textgreater \ 0)
$
Therefore, the parable opens up.
Answer:
the direction that this parabola opens is:
Upwards
