Answer:
<h3>
f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k - vertex form of the equation of the parabola with vertex (h, k)
"the parabola opens upward" means: a>0
"the parabola has x = 2 as an axis of symmetry" means: h = 2
so f(x) = a(x - 2)² + k
"the parabola contains the point (1, 9)" means:
9 = a(1 - 2)² + k
9 = a(-1)² + k
9 = a + k
k = 9 - a
"the parabola contains the point (4, 27)" means:
27 = a(4 - 2)² + k
so:
27 = a(2)² + 9 - a
27 = 4a + 9 - a
3a = 18
a = 6
and k = 9 - 6 = 3
Therefore the vertex form for this parabola is:
<u> f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</u>
For this, you have to understand the ratios of a 30,60,90 triangle. The ratio(in order) is x, x(sqrt 3), 2x (following the 30,60,90 pattern y'know). Well, we know the length of the hypotenuse, 4.2, so let's use ratios to figure the other sides out. The ratio of AC is x and the ratio of AB is 2x, so 2x/2=x=2.1. One side down. BC has a ratio of x(sqrt 3). We already know x so we can substitute it in. We get 2.1(sqrt 3). To calculate the area, use the formula 1/2(bh). Inputting the values in, we get 1/2(2.1*(2.1(sqrt 3)). This can be calculated to around 3.82. To calculate the perimeter, take the sum of the sides. By adding the sides together, we get about 9.98. Hope you can now understand how to do these kinds of questions.
The prefix in the word "regroup" is "re" and it means "again". Separate the words like this (re)read to find the "prefix"
Just think when your teacher ask you to reread the book or the problem.It should come to mind as "Read again"
Good Luck!
