Answer:
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1 or -0.25u² -u
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.
The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.
Our equation will be of the form ...
m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)
For this graph, the equation is ...
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1
or, simplifying, we get ...
m(u) = -0.25u² -u
Answer:
32 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total number of cups, we have to convert the measures that are not in cups to cups and add
1 quart = 4 cups
4 quarts = 4 x4 = 16 cups
1 pint = 2 cups
6 pints = 2 x 6 = 12 pints
total number of cups = 16 + 12 + 4 = 32 cups
Answer:
12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
x is to 16 as 9 is to x
x/16 = 9/x cross multiply
x^2 = 144
x =12
Multiply 2/1 or 2 on both sides to get "y" by itself

y ≤ -14
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
slope formula: y=mx+b
m=slope
y=(-1)x+8
