Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

Q is 20% older than his sister so 15+20%=18 and 18=1/3 aunts age

So 18x3=54

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 15 is 3 so Quentin is 18 years old

If Quentin is one thrid his Aunt's age that means his aunt is three times older.

18 * 3 = 54

So his Aunt is 54 years old

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph? (-3,1) (2,-4)

ki77a [65]

Answer:

x + y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The two primary equations to remember when dealing with graphing 2-variable equations are: ax + by = c (a & b are the x & y coefficients, respectively), and the other is y = mx + c (m = slope, x & y represent themselves). There is another equation to find the slope. If not already known, it's: ∆y/∆x {∆(aka Delta) = difference}. So, since that's all been established, we can proceed to calculate your question:

1) Find your slope: 1 - (-4) = 5 for your y-variable. And -3 - 2 = -5 for your x-variable. So your slope = 5/-5 = -1

2) Use the y = mx + c equation together with either set of (x,y) coordinates to get the equation 1 = (-1)(-3) + c. Which gives you c = -2

3) So, going back to the main equation to remember, the ax + by = c, use a one of your given sets of x,y coordinates and input your known values for x, y, & c to get: a(-3) + b(1) = (-2) and do the same with other set (these are just double-checks, coefficients are all equal to 1 anyways). So, you should arrive to the equation: x + y = -2

What is 500000 and 60000000 as a decimal

Juliette [100K]

The only way to make a decimal out of either of those numbers is to write a decimal point with some zeros after it.

500,000 = 500,000.000

60,000,000 = 60,000,000.00000

etc.

Factor 2m^3-12m^2+18m completely

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you have to take out the common terms for this expression. In this expression, the common terms ard 2 and m :

$2 {m}^{3} - 12 {m}^{2} + 18m$

$= 2( {m}^{3} - 6 {m}^{2} + 9m)$

$= 2m( {m}^{2} - 6m + 9)$

Next you have to factorise the brackets :

${m}^{2} - 6m + 9$

$= {m}^{2} - 3m - 3m + 9$

$= m(m - 3) - 3(m - 3)$

$= (m - 3)(m - 3)$

$= {(m - 3)}^{2}$

So the final answer is :

$2m {(m - 2)}^{2}$

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$
