<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>
We have 2 conditions:
1 - angles opposed by the vertex - the angles are equal
2 - supplementary angles - the sum of the two angles results in 180
2:
(4X + 15) and (5X + 30) are supplementary angles, so:
(4X + 15) + (5X + 30) = 180
9X = 180 - 15 - 30
9X = 135
<h2>X = 15</h2>
1:
(3Y + 15) and (5X + 30) are angles opposed by the vertex, so they are equal
3Y + 15 = 5X + 30
3Y = 5X + 30 - 15
3Y = 5X + 15 <em>above we have already calculated the value of X</em>
3Y = 5.(15) + 15
3Y = 75 + 15
3Y = 90
Y = 90/3
<h3>Y = 30</h3>
The graph is misleading because it does not start out at 0 inches of rainfall.
To make it accurate, you'd redraw it and start with 0 inches of rainfall and go up from there.
Not sure about the first one,
The second one is 1/9.
Easy
y=a(x-h)^2+k
vertex is (h,k)
we know that vertex is (4,0)
input that point for (h,k)
y=a(x-4)^2+0
y=a(x-4)^2
passes thorugh the point (6,1)
input that point to find a
1=a(6-4)^2
1=a(2)^2
1=a(4)
divide both sides by 4
1/4=a
thefor the equation is
y=(1/4)(x-4)^2
or
y=(1/4)x^2-2x+4
To make it much easier, it should be converted to the slope-intercept form
y = mx + bTo do so, 14x + 34y = 1 turns to:
34y = -14x + 1Divide both sides by 34:

Here is the graph:
