Answer:

C 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabolic function

Notice how we go negative and then positive

y = ax^2 +bx+c

Let x = 0

-5 = a(0) + b(0) +c

c = -5

y = ax^2 + bx -5

Let x = 3

4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5

Let x=-3

4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5

Add the two equations

4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5

4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5

----------------------------

8 = 2a (3)^2 - 10

18 = 2 a(9)

18 = 18a

a =1

Solving for b

4 = 1(3)^2 -b(3) -5

4 = 9 -3b -5

4 = 4 -3b

0 = -3b

0 =b

The equation is

y = (x)^2 -5

Letting y = -1

-1 =x^2 -5

Adding 5 to each side

4 = x^2

Taking the square root of each side

±2 = x

x= ±2

Given the choices

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

120 tries

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try 5 different wires in the first connection.

Then you have 4 wires left, so you try 4 wires in the second connection. Remember, you are now trying 4 wires for each of the first 5, so up to here you already made 4 * 5 tries = 20 tries.

Next you try 3, then 2, then you have 1 left.

Number of tries: 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120

Answer: 120 tries

A 15% discount saves you $5 off the price of an electronic game. How much do you save off the regular price if the discount is w

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount for a total of $15 off regular price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the game through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare percent over percent to an equal ratio of $ to $. Since 15% of 100% is the same ratio as $5 to the unknown original $ price, I write:

$\frac{15}{100} =\frac{5}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$15y=100(5)\\15y=500$

I now solve for y by dividing by 15.

$\frac{15y}{15} =\frac{500}{15} \\y= 33.33333....$

The original price was $33.34.

Now, we can find the amount if 45% off and then then compare the two discounts. To find the percent off I can multiply by 0.45(33.34)=15. The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount.

alekssr [168]

For this case we have a function of the form:
H (t)
Where,
t: number of days
H: the daily high temperature
We have the point (0.29).
It means that the hottest day of the year had a temperature of 29 degrees.
Answer:
the hottest day of the year had a temperature of 29 degrees.

Write the raito as a fraction simplest from 12 boys and 15 girls

kiruha [24]

Step-by-step explanation: We can write a ratio using the word "to", using a colon, or using a fraction bar.

Here, since we want our ratio in simplest form,

I would use a fraction bar.

Now, the problem asks us to compare

the number of boys to the number of girls.

We know that there are 12 boys

and we know that there are 15 girls.

So our ratio is 12/15.

However, this can be reduced to 4/5.
