Answer:
No it is more
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex: (-5,-2); parabola opens up;
General form of the equation for a vertical parabola opening up is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2; knowing that the vertex is at (-5,-2), we can write:
y+2 = a(x+5)^2. We need to find the value of the coefficient a.
From the graph we see that y is 10 when x is approx. -1 3/4 (or -7/4).
subst. these values into y+2 = a(x+5)^2, we get:
10 + 2 = a(-7/4 + 5)^2, or 12 = a(13/4)^2, or 1 = a(169/16).
Solving for a: a = 16/169 = 0.09, or approx 16/160, or 1/10. Unfortunately, this is not close to any of the four answer choices.
I thought it best to try again, and fortunately my second try was correct:
10+2 = a(13/4)^2, or (169/16)a. Thus, 12 = a(169/16)
12
Solving for a: a = ------------- = 1.14. The answer choice closest to this is 1.
169/16
Answer A is correct.
C. JM because that line is the height of the triangle
Answer:
option A: x + 1.5y ≤ 20
option C: x + 3y ≤ 36
option D: x ≥ 0
option H: y ≥ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It says to assume x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.
Since the number of items can not be a negative number, we have x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0.
Condition: He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.
Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.
If he buys 'x' packs of pasta and 'y' jars of pasta sauce, then:-
Total cost = 1x + 3y ≤ 36 dollars.
and Total weight = 1x + 1.5y ≤ 20 pounds.
Hence, we have four inequalities:-
option A: x + 1.5y ≤ 20
option C: x + 3y ≤ 36
option D: x ≥ 0
option H: y ≥ 0
