The equation in standard form is 2x^2 + 7x - 15=0. Factoring it gives you (2x-3)(x+5)= 0. That's the first one. The second one requires you to now your formula for the axis of symmetry which is x = -b/2a with a and b coming from your quadratic. Your a is -1 and your b is -2, so your axis of symmetry is
x= -(-2)/2(-1) which is x = 2/-2 which is x = -1. That -1 is the x coordinate of the vertex. You could plug that back into the equation and solve it for y, which is the easier way, or you could complete the square on the quadratic...let's plug in x to find y. -(-1)^2 - 2(-1)-1 = 0. So the vertex is (-1, 0). That's the first choice given. For the last one, since it is a negative quadratic it will be a mountain instead of a cup, meaning it doesn't open upwards, it opens downwards. Those quadratics will ALWAYS have a max value as opposed to a min value which occurs with an upwards opening parabola. This one is also the first choice because of the way the equation is written. There is no side to side movement (the lack of parenthesis tells us that) so the x coordinate for the vertex is 0. The -1 tells us that it has moved down from the origin 1 unit; hence the y coordinate is -1. The vertex is a max at (0, -1)
Based on the calculations, the depth of tent is equal to 12 feet.
<h3>How to calculate the depth of the tent?</h3>
Based on the diagram (see attachment) and information provided, we can logically deduce the following parameters (points):
- Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle (AB = AC).
- The front and back of the triangle are identical triangles.
- Side AD is perpendicular side BC.
- CD is the midpoint of BC i.e CD = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3 feet.
Next, we would determine the height of the right-angled triangle (ADC) by applying Pythagorean theorem:
AC² = AD² + DC²
AD² = AC² - DC²
AD² = 5² - 3²
AD² = 25 - 9
AD² = 16
AD = √16
AD = 4 feet.
Also, we would determine the area of the triangle (ABC):
Area = 1/2 × b × h
<u>Where:</u>
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
Area = 1/2 × 6 × 4
Area = 12 feet².
Depth of tent = 3 × height of ADC
Depth of tent = 3 × 4
Depth of tent = 12 feet.

ratio of 4:7.5
3/x=4/7.5 cross multiply
22.5=4x
x=22.5/4=5.625=5-5/8=45/8
It would be around 138 minutes which is 2 hrs and 18 min so it would be C).
