The vertex-form equation is
y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16
Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 =
{-5, 3}
The bottom rectangle is 52 ft by 27 ft.
The top rectangle is 30 ft by 17 ft (calculated as 57 ft - 27 ft - 13 ft = 17 ft).
The connector rectangle is 13 ft by 9 ft (calculated as 30 ft - 21 ft = 9 ft).
total area = 52 ft * 27 ft + 30 ft * 17 ft + 13 ft * 9 ft
total area = 1404 ft^2 + 510 ft^2 + 117 ft^2
total area = 2031 ft^2
weight = 2031 ft^2 * 12 lb/ft^2
weight = 24,372 lb
Y=3x+4 beacause the slope is m and b is the y-intercept
If you showed me the diagram I could give you an answer.
8 3/4 bc when u divide 35/4 it’s 8.75 and putting that into a fraction is 8 3/4
