Answer:

180.4 inches (15.033 feet)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we convert 15.3 feet to inches. We do this by multiplying 15.3 by 12. This gets us 183.6. Now, we subtract 3.2 from 183.6. This gets us 180.4. That means the piece cut off of 180.4 inches long. To convert this to feet, we divide by 12. That gets us 15.033. That means the piece cut off is 180.4 inches long, or 15.033 feet long.

How do you find the quadratic function with vertex (-2,5) and point (0,9)?

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: y = (x +2)² + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x - h)² + k where "a" is the leading coefficient and (h, k) is the vertex

Since we don't know "a", we need to plug in the point (x, y) and the vertex (h, k) to solve for "a": (x, y) = (0, 9) and (h, k) = (-2, 5)

y = a(x - h)² + k

9 = a(0 - (-2))² + 5

9 = a(0 + 2)² + 5

9 = a(2)² + 5

-5 -5

4 = a(4)

÷4 ÷4

1 = a

Next, plug in "a" and the vertex (h, k):

y = a(x - h)² + k

y = 1(x +2)² + 5

y = (x +2)² + 5

He scored 3 goals at Saturdays gams and scored 5 goals in yesterdays game . What is his percent of increase?

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: his percent of increase = 66.66%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent of increase = Increase/ Previous goal x 100

Previous goal = 3 goals

Yesterday's goal = 5 goals

Percent of increase = (5-3) / 3 x 100

=2/3 x 100

=0.6666 x 100

=66.66%

For what values of the variables are the following expressions defined? 1. 5y+2 2. 18/y 3. 1/x+7 4. 2b/10−b Example: X>7

Serga [27]

Answer:

1. All real numbers

2. All real numbers except y = 0

3. All real numbers except x = -7

4. All real numbers except b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For any function to be defined at a particular value, it should not be approaching to a value $\infty$ or it should not give us the $\frac{0}{0}$ (zero by zero) form when the input is given to the function.
