Answer:
The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola equation is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in its vertex form is:

Where the vertex of the parabola is the point (h, k)
a is the ceoficiente of the term to the square.
We need to find the equation of a parabola that has its vertex in the point:
(-5, -2)
So:

Therefore the equation is:

We know that the point (-4, 2) belongs to this parable. Then we can find the value of a by replacing the point in the equation of the parabola

Finally the coefficient is a = 4
The volume of a prism is area of the base times height.
This is a triangular prism. The base is a triangle.
The volume is area of the base times height, and the base is a triangle.
Find the area of the triangle and multiply by the height of the prism.
V = volume of the prism
A = area of the base
H = height of the prism
h = height of the triangle
b = base of the triangle
V = AH
V = (1/2)bhH
V = (1/2) * 9 ft * 7 ft * 15 ft
V = 472.5 ft^3
Answer:
w > 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality by using inverse operations.
-4w - 2 < -38
-4w < -36
w > 9
Like solving equations, inequalities should be solved using inverse operations. However, unlike equations, when you divide or multiply by a negative the sign changes.
1) divide 26.32 by 8 = 3.29
2) 3.29 x 20= 65.80
3) he would spend 65.80 on 20 gallons of gas
