Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Inversely proportional to x" in this situation is represented by a = k/x.

Find k:

Let a = 15 and x = 25, then calculate k:

15 = k/25)

Multiplying both sides by 25 yields k = 15(25), or k = 3/5

and so a = -----------

How do you solve for the slope of a line with the equation ax^2 + bx + c?

ololo11 [35]

<h2>The graph of y = ax^2 + bx + c </h2><h2>A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form </h2><h2>ax2+bx+c,where a≠0 </h2><h2>All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola. The parent quadratic function is </h2><h2> y=x2 </h2><h2> The lowest or the highest point on a parabola is called the vertex. The vertex has the x-coordinate </h2><h2>x=−b2a </h2><h2>The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum or minimum value of the function. </h2><h2>a > 0 parabola opens up minimum value </h2><h2>a < 0 parabola opens down maximum value </h2><h2> A rule of thumb reminds us that when we have a positive symbol before x2 we get a happy expression on the graph and a negative symbol renders a sad expression. </h2><h2>The vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in two is called the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry has the equation </h2><h2>x=−b2a </h2><h2>The y-intercept of the equation is c. </h2><h2> When you want to graph a quadratic function you begin by making a table of values for some values of your function and then plot those values in a coordinate plane and draw a smooth curve through the points.</h2>

What is the sum or difference?

dlinn [17]

1. Ans: Option (B) $-6x^4$

Explanation:
Given: $2x^4 - 8x^4$
Take the common out:
=> $x^4(2 - 8)$

Hence: => $[tex]-6x^4$ [/tex] (Option B)

2. Ans: Option (D) $-3y^5$

Explanation:
Given: $6y^5 - 9y^5$
Take the common term(s) out:
=> $y^5(6-9)$

Hence: => $-3y^5$ (Option D)

3. Ans: Option (B) $9x^2 - 12x + 6$ <span> quadratic trinomial

Explanation:
</span>Given: $6 - 12x + 13x^2 - 4x^2$

The standard form of polynomial function must have the highest powered value at the start, then the second highest and so on.

=> $13x^2 - 4x^2 - 12x + 6$
=> $9x^2 - 12x + 6$ (Option B)

4. Ans: Option (C) $7.3x^2 + 0.8x + 1.3$

Explanation:
In order to find the total number of C<span>ommon and Endler's guppies, you need to add both Common and Endler's guppies' polynomials, as follows:

</span>Common guppies: $3.1x^2 +6.0x + 0.3$ <span>
Endler's guppies: </span> $4.2x^2 - 5.2x + 1.0$
(add both)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Total number: $7.3x^2 +0.8x + 1.3$
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hence the ans is Option(C) $7.3x^2 + 0.8x + 1.3$

5. Ans: Option (D) $2x^2(133 - 18 \pi )$

Explanation:
First let's find the total area of the yard:
Total Area of the Yard = 14x * 19x = $266x^2$

Now the area of the circular fountain:
Area of the Circular Fountain = $\pi r^2$
Since, r=6x
Therefore,
Area of the Circular Fountain = $\pi (6x)^2 = 36 \pi x^2$

Now the final Area of the yard would be:
Final area of the Yard = Total Area of the Yard - Area of the Circular Fountain
Final area of the Yard = $266x^2$ - $36 \pi x^2$
=> Final area of the Yard = $2x^2(133 - 18 \pi)$ (Option D)

6. Ans: Option (A) $56x^2$

Explanation:
First let's find the total area of the lot:
Total Area of the lot= 6x * 10x = $60x^2$

Now the area of the stadium:
Area of the stadium = 1x * 4x = $4x^2$

Now the final Area of the lot would be:
Final area of the lot= Total Area of the lot - Area of the stadium
Final area of the lot= $60x^2$ - $4x^2$
=> Final area of the lot = $56x^2$ (Option A)
