Answer:

B. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the value of x

The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.

Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:

$\frac{AB}{LM} = \frac{AC}{LN}$

AB = 5

LM = 10

AC = x + 5

LN = 3x + 3

Plug in the values

$\frac{5}{10} = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 3}$

Cross multiply

$5(3x + 3) = 10(x + 5)$

$15x + 15 = 10x + 50$ (distributive property)

Collect like terms

$15x - 10x = -15 + 50$

$5x = 35$

Divide both sides by 5

x = 7

✔️Find AC

AC = x + 5

Plug in the value of x

AC = 7 + 5

AC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The first parabola has vertex (-1, 0) and y-intercept (0, 1).

We plug these values into the given vertex form equation of a parabola:

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

y - 0 = a(x + 1)^2

Next, we subst. the coordinates of the y-intercept (0, 1) into the above, obtaining:

1 = a(0 + 1)^2, and from this we know that a = 1. Thus, the equation of the first parabola is

y = (x + 1)^2

Second parabola: We follow essentially the same approach. Identify the vertex and the two horizontal intercepts. They are:

vertex: (1, 4)

x-intercepts: (-1, 0) and (3, 0)

Subbing these values into y - k = a(x - h)^2, we obtain:

0 - 4 = a(3 - 1)^2, or

-4 = a(2)². This yields a = -1.

Then the desired equation of the parabola is

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

150 decreased by 60%

kodGreya [7K]

Hello there the answer to your question would be 60. Since 150-(60%*150) = 150 - 60 *150 = (1-60%)*150 = (100%-60%) * 150= 40% * 150 = 40/100 * 150 = 40 * 150 ÷ 100 = 6000/100 = 60. Hope this helps you out, have a great day!

Kendra was asked to find the number of students who planned to attend the evening symphony performance. She was told that 40 per

navik [9.2K]

Picture related to the question is attached below

Answer:

Kendra should have divided by 2 instead of multiplying by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

40 percent = percentage who plan to attend

100% = total percentage of student

From the question ;

When reducing percentages, division is employed and this the equation should be :

40/2 ÷ 100/2

40/2 * 2/100

20 * 1/50

20/50

= 0.4

0.4 * 50

= 20 students
