Answer:

  51

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of seats in a row. Then the number of rows is (s-9) and the total number of seats is ...

  s(s-9) = 2142

  s² -9s +4.5² = 2142 +4.5² . . . . . complete the square

  (s -4.5) = √2162.25 . . . . . . . . take the positive square root

  s = 4.5 +46.5 = 51 . . . . . . . add 4.5

The number of seats in each row is 51.

Which statement describes the translation of y = −one half (x − 2)2 − 2 from standard position?
kaheart [24]
A quadratic in vertex form can be represented as

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

a represents reflection over the x-axis, and a vertical stretch or compress 
- is reflection and a fraction (1/2) represents a compression.

-h represents a shift of that many units to the right (-2 shifts to the right  two units)

k represents a shift up or down (-2 is shifting down 2 units_

Reflected over the x-axis, Vertically compressed by a factor of 1/2, shifted 2 units to the right, and shifted 2 units down
