Start by looking at the vertex form of a quadratic function, f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k. The variables h and k are the values of the vertex. Plug those in to get f(x) = a(x - 4)^2 + 5. To find the variable a, plug in the point given for the x and y values. So, you get (21) = a((8) - 4)^2 + 5. Solve for a algebraically, and you get a = 1. Finally, plug everything in and simplify the equation. You should get that the quadratic function is f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 21. Hope this helps!

Answer:
- Keiko: 17
- Chang: 24
- Abdul: 68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...
c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109
6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35
c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
c-7 = 17
4(c-7) = 68
Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.
Sounds like you’re dealing with absolute value.
1. Cookies
2. Bananas
3. Bananas and ice cream are the closest
The answers are D, D, 93, A, A.
It takes three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of 1/2.
Why this is is because a sixth is smaller than a half. There are six sixths in a whole. There are only two halves in a whole.
So when you divide the whole into six parts, you would need half of the parts to have a half. Like down here: <em>(not correct to scale, sorry)</em>
|-------------------|----------------------|
|-----|------|-------|------|-------|-------|
It takes 3 of the sixths to = 1 half.
another way you can check is by simplifying your fractions.
3/6, when you divide by 3 top and bottom, = 1/2
I hope this answers your question somewhat. Please ask if there's anything more
