A parabola is a quadratic function, and a quadratic can be expressed in vertex form, which is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex (absolute maximum or minimum point of the quadratic)
In this case we are given that (h,k) is (-5,80) so we have so far:
y=a(x--5)^2+80
y=a(x+5)^2+80, we are also told that it passes through the point (0,-45) so:
-45=a(0+5)^2+80
-45=25a+80 subtract 80 from both sides
-125=25a divide both sides by 25
-5=a, so now we know the complete vertex form is:
y=-5(x+5)^2+80
The x-intercepts occur when y=0 so:
0=-5(x+5)^2+80 add 5(x+5)^2 to both sides
5(x+5)^2=80 divide both sides by 5
(x+5)^2=16 take the square root of both sides
x+5=±√16 which is
x+5=±4 subtract 5 from both sides
x=-5±4 so the x-intercepts are:
x=-1 and -9

Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles sum to 90 , so
3y - 1 + 4y + 7 = 90
7y + 6 = 90 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
7y = 84 ( divide both sides by 7 )
y = 12
Simple...
you have: For every 14 seeds that Okra seeds Dana planted 9 of them grew; if he planted 182 seeds..how many grew?
Set up an equation...
Cross multiply....
14*x=14x
9*182=1638
14x=1638
x=117
This means that, for 182 seeds planted, 117 of them grew to be plants.
Thus, your answer.
Answer:
45 people are members at the tennis club
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of people in the tennis club be denoted as "x".
Since each of them donated $12.45, then total donated = 12.45x
Since they had $50.25 left over after paying the cost of $510 for the ball, then;
12.45x - 510 = 50.25
12.45x = 510 + 50.25
12.45x = 560.25
x = 560.25/12.45
x = 45
