The equation for this parabola is in standard form: y = ax² + bx + c
a, b, and c stand for coefficients. In standard form, in order to find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola, plug in the associated variables in the expression "-(b/2a)". 
Plugging in the values for a and b gives:
-(2/2*1)
-(2/2)
-1
x = -1
From here, by plugging this value of x in for a corresponding answer, one can find the location of the vertex.
y = (-1)² + 2(-1) - 3
y = 1 + -2 - 3
y = 1 - 2 - 3
y = -4
Vertex of the parabola: (-1,-4)
Because y is negative, the answer is B) below the x-axis.

Solve 2^(3x-4)=5 round to the nearest ten-thousandth
noname [10]
You can use logarithm for this question:
If you convert the provided equation into logarithm, you should get:
Log _2 5= (3x-4)
You plug log_2 (5) into a calculator, I dont have one with me so you will have to do the calculation, then solve for x

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
pentagon [3]

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of any function (of x) can be shifted horizontally by a number h by replacing every x in the function with x - h. And, if we want to shift the graph vertically, we simply add the number we want to shift by (which I'll call k) to every output of the function.

Functionally, if we have any function f(x)

We can shift it horizontally by h units and vertically by k units by creating a function g(x) = f(x - h) + k.

Notice that in this case, g(x) = f(x - (-2)) - 4. So the graph of f(x) is shifted 2 units to the left, and 4 units down.

Or if this is too abstract of an explanation, then notice

\sqrt[3]{x + 2}  - 4 looks similar to \sqrt[3]{x - h}  - k. Specifically, if h = -2 and k = -4 (the graph is shifted two units left and 4 units down), then the function becomes equivalent to g(x)

A baseball team has a 20-person roster. A batting order has nine people. How many different batting orders are there
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

60,949,324,800

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Permutation formula

The formula for Permutation =

nPr = n!/(n - r)!

Total Amount in a Set (n) = 20 persons

Amount in each Sub-Set (r) = 9 batting order

Hence:

20P9 = 20!/(20 - 9)!

= 60,949,324,800

Therefore, the different batting orders they would have are: 60,949,324,800

Area of the three equally sized stripes: A

A=(x+15)(x)(3)
A=3x(x+15)
A=3x^2+45x

One gallon of paint will cover an area of no more than 400 square feet: <=400

She only has half of a gallon of paint left:
1/2(400 square feet)=400/2=200 square feet

Inequality that could be used to find the maximum height, in feet, of each stripe:
A<=200
3x^2+45x<=200

Answer: 3x^2+45x <= 200

Could her stripes be 3' tall?
x=3→A=3(3)^2+45(3)=3(9)+135=27+135→A=162<200 Ok
Yes, her stripes could be 3' tall.
Answer: Yes

Could her stripes be 4' tall?
x=4→A=3(4)^2+45(4)=3(16)+180=48+180→A=228>200 No
No, her stripes couldn't be 4' tall.
