Answer:
6 7/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do is to get the measurements in either inches or feet. You can't have both. Let's go from feet to inches.
3 feet = 36 inches
13.75 feet = 165 inches
Now we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of inches the model is:

Now we can cross multiply:
36x = 247.5 so
x = 6.875 or 6 7/8 inches
Answer:
Rectangles and rhombuses are quadrilateral, and they have opposite sides that are parallel and congruent. Opposite angles in rectangles and rhombuses are also equal, since the opposite sides are parallel.
Answer: the price of each apple is $2.25 and the price of each mango is $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the price of one apple.
Let y represent the price of one mango.
Cameron went into a grocery store and bought 4 apples and 7 mangos, costing a total of $17.75. This means that
4x + 7y = 17.75 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Gavin went into the same grocery store and bought 2 apples and 5 mangos, costing a total of $10.75. This means that
2x + 5y = 10.75 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes
4x + 7y = 17.75
4x + 10y = 21.5
Subtracting, it becomes
- 3y = - 3.75
y = - 3.75/ - 3
y = 1.25
Substituting y = 1.25 into equation 2, it becomes
2x + 5 × 1.25 = 10.75
2x + 6.25 = 10.75
2x = 10.75 - 6.25 = 4.5
x = 4.5/2 = 2.25
Answer:
y = 1/8(x -2)^2 -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation of a parabola can be written as ...
y = (1/(4p))(x -h)^2 +k
for vertex (h, k) and vertex-to-directrix distance p. Here, the vertex has a y-value of -1, and the directrix has a y-value of -3, so the distance between them is -1 -(-3) = 2, and the desired equation with vertex (2, -1) is ...
y = 1/8(x -2)^2 -1

<em>Comment on the graph</em>
One description of a parabola is that it is the locus of points equidistant from the focus and the directrix. I like to show that a point on the parabola (not the vertex) meets that requirement. That is what the dashed orange lines are for in the diagram. You can easily see that each has length 4.
If we want to verify that g ( x ) is the inverse of f ( x ) we have to show that:
( f ° g ) = ( g ° f )
f ( g ( x ) )= 3 · ( 1/3 x ) = x
g ( f ( x ) ) = 1/3 · ( 3 x ) = x
