Given:

The x- intercepts of a parabola are (0,-6) and (0,4).

The parabola crosses the y- axis at -120.

Lucas said that an equation for the parabola is y=5x^2+10x-120 and that the coordinates of the vertex are (-1, -125).

To find:

Whether Lucas is correct or not.

Solution:

The x- intercepts of a parabola are (0,-6) and (0,4). It means (x+6) and (x-4) are the factors of the equation of the parabola.

y=a(x+6)(x-4)             ...(i)

The parabola crosses the y- axis at -120. It means the equation of the parabola must be true for (0,-120).

-120=a(0+6)(0-4)

-120=a(6)(-4)

-120=-24a

Divide both sides by -24.

\dfrac{-120}{-24}=a

5=a

Substituting a=5 in (i), we get

y=5(x+6)(x-4)

y=5(x^2+6x-4x-24)

y=5(x^2+2x-24)

y=5x^2+10x-120

So, the equation of the parabola is y=5x^2+10x-120.

The vertex of a parabola f(x)=ax^2+bx+c is:

Vertex=\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right)

In the equation of the parabola, a=5,b=10,c=-120.

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{10}{2(5)}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{10}{10}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-1

Putting x=-1 in the equation of the parabola, we get

y=5(-1)^2+10(-1)-120

y=5-10-120

y=-125

So, the vertex of the parabola is at point (-1,-125).

Therefore, Lucas is correct.

Solve for p. −4.5 + p6= −18.9
Vesna [10]

Answer:

-2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We have the expression before us as

−4.5 + p6= −18.9

Collect like terms

p6= −18.9+4.5

p6= -14.4

Divide both sides by 6

p= -14.4/6

p=-2.4

Hence the value of p= -2.4

Mario worked from 8:25 to 12:45 yesterday. Today
solmaris [256]

The number of hours he worked in all (written in fraction form) is 8\frac{1}{6} \ hours

From the question,

Mario worked from 8:25 to 12:45 yesterday.

From 8:25 to 12:45 gives 4 hours 20 minutes

Also, from the question,

Today  he will work from 11:20 to 3:10

From 11:20 to 3:10 gives 3 hours 50 minutes

To determine the number of hours he work in all, we will add the time spent working on the previous day to that of the current day. That is,

4 hours 20 minutes + 3 hours 50 minutes = 8 hours 10 minutes

Now, to put the answer in fraction form, we will convert 10 minutes to hours

NOTE: 60 minutes = 1 hour

∴ 10 minutes = \frac{10}{60} \ hours = \frac{1}{6} \ hours

∴ 8 hours 10 minutes = 8\frac{1}{6} \ hours

Hence, the number of hours he worked in all (written in fraction form) is 8\frac{1}{6} \ hours

Will mark most brainlest if correct
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: each guest gets 4.19 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The cake is a circle. The area which he cuts for himself is a sector with a central angle of 120 degrees. The formula for determining the area of a sector is expressed as

Area of sector = θ/360 × πr²

Where

θ represents the central angle

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

r represents the radius of the circle.

From the diagram,

r = 4cm

Therefore, area of the cake that he cut for himself is

120/360 × 3.14 × 4²

= 16.75 cm²

The total area of the cake is

3.14 × 4² = 50.24 cm²

Therefore, the rest of the cake is

50.24 - 16.75 = 33.49 cm²

The amount that each guest gets would be

33.49/8 = 4.19 cm²
