Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the following parabola algebraically.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

the equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola with vertical branches like this one, is an equation of a vertical line that passes through the very vertex of the parabola and divides it into its two symmetric branches. Such vertical line would have therefore an expression of the form: $x=constant$ , being that constant the very x-coordinate of the vertex.

So we use for that the fact that the x position of the vertex of a parabola of the general form: $y=ax^2+bx+c$ , is given by:

$x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a}$

which in our case becomes:

$x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a} \\x_{vertex}=\frac{48}{2\,(3)} \\x_{vertex}=\frac{48}{6} \\x_{vertex}=8$

Then, the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola is:

$x=8$

Unit 4 Test, Part 2: Congruence and Constructions<br> Help with my math please

lakkis [162]

Answer/Step-by-sep explanation:

1. Given:

∆NMK ≅ ∆TRP

$\overline{NM} = 20$

$\overline{MK} = 15$

$\overline{KN} = 25$

$\overline{TR} = 3x - 1$

a. To complete the congruent statement, thus: ∆MNK ≅ ∆RTP

b. The side that is congruent to $\overline{TR}$ is $\overline{NM}$ . Thus:

$\overline{TR}$ ≅ $\overline{NM}$

c. Since $\overline{TR}$ ≅ $\overline{NM}$ , therefore:

$\overline{TR} = \overline{NM}$

$3x - 1 = 20$ (substitution)

Add 1 to both sides

$3x = 20 + 1$

$3x = 21$

Divide both sides by 3

$x = \frac{21}{3}$

$x = 7$

2. a. Slope of LK = $\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{4}{3}$

Slope of LM = $\frac{rise}{run} = -\frac{3}{5}$

b. ✍️Length of LK is the distance between L(-7, 4) and (-4, 8):

$Lk = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$Lk = \sqrt{(-4 -(-7))^2 + (8 - 4)^2}$

$Lk = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (4)^2}$

$Lk = \sqrt{9 + 16}$

$Lk = \sqrt{25}$

$Lk = 5$

✍️Length of LM is the distance between L(-7, 4) and (-2, 1):

$LM = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$LM = \sqrt{(-2 -(-7))^2 + (1 - 4)^2}$

$LM = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$LM = \sqrt{25 + 9}$

$LM = \sqrt{34}$

$LM = 5.8$ (nearest tenth)

∆KLM is not an isosceles ∆ because it does not has two equal side lengths. This we can see because LK and LM are not equal.

Therefore, Anthony is incorrect. Am isosceles ∆ has two equal sides.

An aquarium is leaking water at the rate of three quarts in 4 days.How many quarts are leaked in 1 week?How many days does it ta

Simora [160]

Answer:

$\frac{21}{4}$ quarts

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts

To find:

Number of quarts leaked in 1 week?

Number of days taken for the leakage of 9 quarts of water?

Solution:

We can simply use unitary method or the ratio to find the answers of the questions asked in the statement.

As per question statement:

Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts

Dividing by 4 on both sides:

Amount of water leaked in 1 day = $\frac{3}{4}$ quarts

Multiplying by 7 on both sides:

Amount of water leaked in 7 days = $\frac{3}{4}\times 7 = \frac{21}{4}$ quarts

Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 quarts = 4 days

Multiplying by 3 on both sides:

Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 $\times$ 3 = 9 quarts = 4 $\times$ 3 = <em>12 days</em>
