Answer:</h3>
f(x) = -(x -2)² +3
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can fill in the vertex (h, k) values immediately in the vertex form ...
... f(x) = a(x -h)² +k
To find the value of a, we solve the equation for a at some point other than the vertex. The given point is (0, -1), so we can use that:
... -1 = a(0 -2)² +3
... -4 = 4a . . . . . . . . . subtract 3, simplify
... -1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Now, we know the function is ...
... f(x) = -(x -2)² +3

Answer:</h3>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
Answer:
7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached an image on how you can use the diagram they gave you.
If you color in 7/10s and 7/12s you'll notice that 7/10s is greater.
This is because 1/10 of the whole is greater than 1/12 of the whole.
For 1/10, the whole is being divided into 10, so it equals 0.1.
On the other hand, in 1/12, the whole is being divided by 12, so a part equals 0.083
0.1 is greater than 0.083, so 7 of 0.1 is greater than 7 of 0.083
The answer of that is called a compatible number. I hope this helps! :)
