Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic function in standard form is
y = ax² + bx + c (a ≠ 0 )
Given
y = - 3x² + 6x + 17 ← compare coefficients with standard form, then
a = - 3, b = 6, c = 17
Given the quadratic in standard form the the equation of the axis of symmetry is
x = - = -
= 1
Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 1
5. After 6 hours, the concentration is halved. After 12 hours, it will be quartered. If the original concentration is 200 nmol, a quarter is 50 nmol.
14. The population doubles after 3 hours, and a day is 24 hours. That means that the original population should be multiplied by , or
. 3 million times
is 3 * 256 million, or 768 million.
15. The concentration is halved every 8 hours and the original concentration is 100 nmol. So now, how many times do you halve 100 to get to 12.5?
100/2 = 50, 50/2 = 25, 25/2 = 12.5. That's three times. 3 * 8 is 24 hours, or 1 day.
