Answer:

x = a(y+17)^2 + 2 where a < 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the parabola is horizontal, the formula of the parabola is x = a(y-h)^2 + k where (h,k) is the vertex.

Since it opens to the left, a must be negative. The vertex is (-17, 2), so h = -17 and k = 2.

Substituting these in, we find that the equation is

x = a(y+17)^2 + 2 where a is a real number that is less than 0 (i.e. negative)

I hope this helps! :)

1000 divided by 100 is 10. 10 x 5 is 50. After the first year, Sue has 1050. But compound interest is interest on the amount AFTER the amount is added, so she will now earn interest on 1050. 1050 / 100 is 10.5. 10.5 x 52.50.
52.50 + 50 = 102.50. The answer is D. Hope this helps :)

The drama club collected $160 from ticket sales for the spring play. They need to collect at least $400 to pay for new lighting

valentina_108 [34]

We assume all money is spent on new lighting. Since they currently have $160 and need $400 we can subtract what they currently have from what they need.

$400-$160 = $240

Since we know the price of the ticket and now know they need $240 we can divide our $240 with the price of each ticket ($3)

$240/$3 = 80

So the drama club has to sell 80 more tickets in order to afford new lighting

Jovie is maintaining a camp fire. She has kept the fire steadily burning for 101010 hours with 151515 logs. She wants to know ho

Eva8 [605]

Answer:666 hours

Step-by-step explanation: The reason is that if you turn the problem into an equation it would be h=Lx. h= hours. L=how long the log lasts and x=how many logs. So when you plug in the numbers you get 101010=L*151515. So we need to find L. What you do is you divide both sides by 151515 since it is the opposite of multiplication. 151515/151515 gets crossed out and 101010/151515 is .6666666666666 irrational. So the equation now looks like .666666 irrational=L. So .66666 irrational is your L. Know you plug .666666 irrational into your original equation. Which is now h=.6666 irrational*x. So to find how long the fire keeps on burning with 999 logs you just plug 999 into x and now your equation looks like this h=.6666 irrational*999. If you multiply .6666 irrational by 999 your final answer is 666.
