Answer: so the answer is -9 + 23*7 = 152
Step-by-step explanation: a24 = a1 + (24-1)d where a1 = -9 and d = common difference ( 12-5 = 7)
Hope this helped :D
Answer:
1) The worker can keep the soup in a container with a large surface area as evaporation will occur faster
2) The worker and keep the soup near a fan, cooling the soup
3) The worker keep the soup in a dry area as moisture reduces the rate of evaporation
Looking at the equation, you could see that it is in vertex form. Vertex form looks like this: y=a(x-h)^2+k where a is the slope to find the first point away from the origin and (h,k) is the vertex. So, the vertex is (3,-1). The first point away from the origin is up two, over one, so the slope is 2. This means that a is 2. One way you could check this is by putting 2 in for a. If you put it into standard form, it would be 2x^2-12x+17. To find the x in the vertex when the equation is in standard form we use -b/2a. So it would give us 3 for x. If we put in 3 for x, we get -1 for y, so the vertex is (3,-1). This means that a is 2. Sorry for this lengthy answer, hope it helps.
