Answer:

Every parabola has a turning point called the axis of symmetry,so for this question you just have to find the turning points

x turning point= -b/2a,and the y turning point is gotten by replacing the value of x in the equation

y=(x+1)(x-4)

=x^2-3x-4

a is 1,b is -3 and c is -4

x= -(-3)/2(1)

=1.5

and y=x^2-3x-4

=1.5^2-3(1.5)-4

= -6.25

therefore the axis of symmetry is (1.5,-6.25)

I hope this helps

What is the answer 8x-22=-60

solmaris [256]

$8x-22=-60\qquad|\text{add 22 to both sides}\\\\8x-22+22=-60+22\\\\8x=-38\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\\dfrac{8x}{8}=\dfrac{-38}{8}\\\\x=-4.75$

To get 70% of 60, you multiply 0.7 by 60 to get 42, so 42 students own a pet

Can someone help me? i'm confunsed and I don't know anything

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD primes all correspond to x and y values on the graph.

1) y- intercept

2) time of max height

3) time when balloon hits ground

4) x-intercept

5) max height

6) Initial height

So lets look at (0,A)

This would count as the y - intercept as well as the height they started throwing the balloons.

Soo....

A = y-intercept; Initial height

Now, (B,C)

This is the highest point on the graph, therefore it would be the max time and max height.

If we look at this as a person behind the line throwing the ballon, the y would be the height and the x would be the time

B = Time of max height

C=Max height

(D,0)

From the visual above, this point would be where the balloon hits the ground

From the visual in our head, x is time and y is height

Since d is the x, it is the time when the balloon hits the ground. And since

y =0, D is also the x intercept

D = x intercept, Time when balloon hits ground

Therefore,

A = y-intercept; Initial height

B = Time of max height

C=Max height

D = x intercept, Time when balloon hits ground

Hope this helps! =D

Shelia bought 10 1/2 oz almonds for $3.36 how much did the almonds cost per ounce

jekas [21]

Let’s set 10 1/2 to a decimal since the cost is in decimal too
10.5 divided by 3.36
$3.13/oz.
Hope this helps!
