Answer:
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1 or -0.25u² -u
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.
The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.
Our equation will be of the form ...
m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)
For this graph, the equation is ...
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1
or, simplifying, we get ...
m(u) = -0.25u² -u
Answer:
1 whole
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple equation.
The equation is y = 1.6x with y being the miles and x being the kilometers.
Lets plug the kilometers in.
Y=1.6(7.7)
1.6 * 7.7 = 12.32
12.32 miles is equal to 7.7 kilometers
HOWEVER
There are about .6 miles in a kilometer, so if you typed this wrong I don't know.
It is still the same concept.
Y = .6x
Y = .6(7.7)
.6 * 7.7 = 4.8
In this case there are 4.8 miles in 7.7 kilometers
I think they are not always the best deal, but most are. Sometimes they are not good if they opponent has a even lower price then them.
