Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so, we know they washed 34.

x-5=Trucks washed [19.5-5=(14.5)]

x=cars washed (19.5)

x+x-5=34

2x-5=34

+5   +5

2x=39

divide 2 both sides

x=19.5

To check work: 19.5+14.5=34!

Hope this helps :)

Please answer this question I need it i. Vertex and standard form.
Brums [2.3K]

Equation :

This parabola is facing downwards and highest point of the parabola is it's vertex.

Highest point is (-2,2)

so the vertex is (-2,2)

The graph is passing through (-1,0)

Equation in vertex form is

y = a(x - h) {}^{2}  + k

0 = a( - 1 + 2) {}^{2}  + 2 \\ 0 =a (1) {}^{2}  +2 \\  0 = a + 2 \\ a =  - 2

Substitute back in Equation

y =  - 2(x  + 2) {}^{2}  + 2

the graph has two x intercepts -1 and -3

that means (x+1) and (x+3) are the factors

multiply factors to get the equation in standard form

-2(x + 1)(x + 3) = 0 \\ -2(x {}^{2}  + x + 3x + 3) = 0 \\  -2( x {}^{2}  + 4x + 3) = 0

-2x^2-8x-6=0

Find the area ratio of a regular octahedron and a tetrahedron regular, knowing that the diagonal of the octahedron is equal to h
Anton [14]

Answer:

\frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular octahedron is given by:

area = 2\sqrt{3}\ *edge^2. Let a is the length of the edge (diagonal).

area = 2\sqrt{3}\ *a^2

Given that the diagonal of the octahedron is equal to height (h) of the tetrahedron i.e.

a = h, where h is the height of the tetrahedron and a is the diagonal of the octahedron. Let the edge of the tetrrahedron be e. To find the edge of the tetrahedron, we use:

h=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} } e\\but\ h=a\\a=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} } e\\e=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} }a

The area of a tetrahedron is given by:

area = \sqrt{3}\ *edge^2 = \sqrt{3} *(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} }a)^2=\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{3}    *a^2

The ratio of area of regular octahedron to area tetrahedron regular is given as:

Ratio = \frac{2\sqrt{3}\ *a^2}{\frac{3}{2} \sqrt{3}*a^2} =\frac{4}{3}
