<h3>Answer: D) 5/2</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The parabola is symmetric around its vertex. This means that the roots are the same horizontal distance away from the vertex. Furthermore, we can apply the midpoint formula on the given roots to find the x coordinate of the vertex.

Find the midpoint of 2 and 3 to get (2+3)/2 = 5/2

Note: 5/2 = 2.5

Find the solution to the differential equation dx/dy+y/3=0 subject to the initial conditions y(0)=12.

ycow [4]

$\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dy}+\dfrac y3=0\iff\mathrm dx=-\dfrac y3\,\mathrm dy$
$\implies\displaystyle\int\mathrm dx=-\frac13\int\mathrm y\,dy$
$\implies x=-\dfrac16y^2+C$

Given that $y(0)=12$ , we have

$0=-\dfrac16(12)^2+C\implies C=24$

So the particular solution to the initial value problem is

$x=-\dfrac16y^2+24\iff y^2=144-6x$

It has 5 faces two opposite faces are triangles the other faces are rectangles what is the 3d shape

Simora [160]

A triangular prism is the shape

the two triangles are opposite each other and they are connected with 3 rectangles and that makes it a triangular prism because it is 3D and triangularly shaped - I’m not sure how else to explain it

Which of the following equations have no solutions?

Neporo4naja [7]

Option 3 is not possible

-60.2 + 32 = -60.2 + 60

And these are not equal

Rest all options have x and are solvable
