Answer:
0.5 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation
I dont know if they want the answer in fraction form.
Yes, as the value of x increases so does the value of y hence they are (directly) proportional
The vertex is in essence the turning point of the parabola y = x²<span> − 10x + 2
the x coordinate of the turning point = </span>

=

= 5
when x = 5, y = (5)² - 10(5) + 2
= -23
Thus coordinate or vertex is ( 5, -23)
Its 3, because each ball is 60 min each and 60 times 3 would get you 180
To solve for f, you need to isolate/get the variable by itself in the equation:
4(0.5f - 0.25) = 6 + f Distribute 4 into (0.5f - 0.25)
(4)0.5f + (4)(-0.25) = 6 + f
2f - 1 = 6 + f Subtract f on both sides to get "f" on one side of the equation
2f - f - 1 = 6 + f - f
f - 1 = 6 Add 1 on both sides to get "f" by itself
f - 1 + 1 = 6 + 1
f = 7
PROOF
4(0.5f - 0.25) = 6 + f Substitute/plug in 7 into "f" since f = 7
4(0.5(7) - 0.25) = 6 + 7
4(3.5 - 0.25) = 13
4(3.25) = 13
13 = 13
