Vertex: (-5,-2); parabola opens up;
General form of the equation for a vertical parabola opening up is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2; knowing that the vertex is at (-5,-2), we can write:
y+2 = a(x+5)^2. We need to find the value of the coefficient a.
From the graph we see that y is 10 when x is approx. -1 3/4 (or -7/4).
subst. these values into y+2 = a(x+5)^2, we get:
10 + 2 = a(-7/4 + 5)^2, or 12 = a(13/4)^2, or 1 = a(169/16).
Solving for a: a = 16/169 = 0.09, or approx 16/160, or 1/10. Unfortunately, this is not close to any of the four answer choices.
I thought it best to try again, and fortunately my second try was correct:
10+2 = a(13/4)^2, or (169/16)a. Thus, 12 = a(169/16)
12
Solving for a: a = ------------- = 1.14. The answer choice closest to this is 1.
169/16
Answer A is correct.

Answer:
We need 232 mL of Compound A
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the ratio
A : B : total
4 3 4+3
4 3 7
We want 406
406 /7 =58
Multiply each part by 58
A : B : total
4*58 3*58 7*58
232 174 406
We need 232 mL of Compound A
Answer:
-20
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x + b
-4 = 4(7) + b
-32 = b
y = 4x -32
r = 4(3) - 32
r = -20
