Alright this one is really simple even though it looks like alot. Start by looking at what they give you.
LM=9, LM is congruent to SP so SP=9
Now NR=16 and both NP and PR are congruent to MS.
16÷2=8
NP and PR = 8, So, MS=8
SR=8, MP is congruent to SR so MP=8
Alright so what we've just found out is that SP=9, MS=8, MP=8
We have three the line segments that make up SMP now! Just add them together to get your answer.
9+8+8= 25
Answer = D. 25
Remark
I take it that you mean y^2 = 36x. The first thing you should try and do is get a graph of the given equation. I've done that for you. Notice a few characteristics.
1. The graph opens left. Usually most graphs like this one open up or down.
2. The graph is open ended on the right.
3. There is only one open end.
4. The graph is continuous, but it is not a function. (that's a fact -- but not needed in this question).
When you get a graph looking like this, you have either a graph called a quadratic or a parabola. Either (but not both) could be your answer. If you have choices list them in a comment.
the answer is C. m(p)=5p-40
Answer:
Humans are complex organisms made up of trillions of cells, each with their own structure and function.
Scientists have come a long way in estimating the number of cells in the average human body. Most recent estimates put the number of cells at around 30 trillion. Written out, that’s 30,000,000,000,000!
These cells all work in harmony to carry out all the basic functions necessary for humans to survive. But it’s not just human cells inside your body. Scientists estimate that the number of bacterial cells in the human body likely exceeds the number of human cells.
