Answer:

If the x is squared, the parabola is vertical (opens up or down). If the y is squared, it is horizontal (opens left or right). If a is positive, the parabola opens up or to the right. If it is negative, it opens down or to the left.

On a coordinate plane, triangles R S T and L M N are shown. Triangle R S T has points (5, 5), (2, 1), and (1, 3). Triangle L M N

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

LMN has a larger area

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

RST

$R =(5,5)$

$S= (2,1)$

$T = (1,3)$

LMN

$L = (0,-1)$

$M= (2,-4)$

$N= (-2,-3)$

Required

Compare both areas

The area of triangle is:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1y_2 - x_2y_1 + x_2y_3 - x_3y_2 + x_3y_1 - x_1y_3|$

For RST, we have:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|5*1 - 2*5 + 2*3 - 1*1 + 1*5 - 5*3|$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|-10|$

Remove absolute signs

$Area = \frac{1}{2}*10$

$Area = 10$

For LMN, we have:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1y_2 - x_2y_1 + x_2y_3 - x_3y_2 + x_3y_1 - x_1y_3|$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|0*-4-2*-1+2*-3--2*-4--2*-1-0*-3|$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}|-14|$

Remove absolute signs

$Area = \frac{1}{2}*14$

$Area = 7$

<em>By comparing both areas, we can conclude that LMN has a larger area</em>

Round 905154 to the nearest ten thousand

beks73 [17]

905,154 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 910,000. This is because the 5 in the thousands place is equal to 5, and when the number is 5 or more, you round up. That’s why when you round that number to the nearest ten thousand, it is 910,000.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

4512 handshakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question, that there are

96 people in the room = 48 couples

Assuming that no husband or wife shakes each others hand but everyone else shakes hands exactly once

This means

48 couples will shake 94 people because they are excluded

This is calculated as

48 × 94 = 4512 handshakes
