Answer:

the large box weight is 6.50 kg and the small box weight is 13.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of each type of box weight is as follows:

Let us assume the large box be x

And, the small box be y

So,

2x + 3y = 47.......(i)

6x + 5y = 115........(ii)

Multiply by 3 in equation 1

6x + 9y = 141

6x + 5y = 115

Now subtract the last equation from the above one

4y = 26

y = 6.50

For x, it would be

2x+ 3(6.50) = 47

2x + 19.5 = 47

2x = 47 - 19.50

2x = 27.50

x = 13.75

Hence, the large box weight is 6.50 kg and the small box weight is 13.75 kg

How was ABCDEFGH transformed to A'B'C'D'E'F'G'H'?
Yanka [14]
So ur going from a smaller shape to a larger shape....means the scale factor is more then 1. The scale factor is the number that u multiply the original shape by to get the other shape.

so lets look at DE...it is 2.....and D'E' is 6

so 2 * x = 6...with ur scale factor being x
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = 3.....so the scale factor is 3....because multiplying the original shape by 3, gives u the other shape

write the equation of the parabola and a vertex form and standard form given the following information​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

(9)

Here (h, k) = (3, - 2), thus

y = a(x - 3)² - 2

To find a substitute (2, 3) into the equation

3 = a(2 - 3)² - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

5 = a(- 1)² = a , then

y = 5(x - 3)² - 2 ← in vertex form

y = 5(x² - 6x + 9) - 2

   = 5x² - 30x + 45 - 2

y = 5x² - 30x + 43 ← in standard form

(10)

Here (h, k) = (2, - 5), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 5

To find a substitute (5, 4) into the equation

4 = a(5 - 2)² - 5 ( add 5 to both sides )

9 = a(- 3)² = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 1

y = (x - 2)² - 5 ← in vertex form

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 5

y = x² - 4x - 1 ← in standard form
