Answer:

Parabolas always have a lowest point (or a highest point, if the parabola is upside-down). This point, where the parabola changes direction, is called the "vertex". If the quadratic is written in the form y = a(x – h)2 + k, then the vertex is the point (h, k). This makes sense, if you think about it.

The vertex of a quadratic equation is either the minimum or maximum of the equation. If the parabola opens down, the vertex will be at the highest possible point, aka, the maximum highest point of the parabola. If the parabola opens up, it would be the lowest possible point, aka, the minimum lowest point on the parabola.

The wading pool shown is a trapezoidal prism with a total volume of 286 cubic feet. What is the missing dimension? First base: 8

harkovskaia [24]

To find the missing dimension you will use the formula for finding the volume of a prism and solve for the missing dimension. In this case 2ft is how deep the pool is and you will solve for the width of the pool.

V = Bh, where B is the area of the base. In this case, use the area of a trapezoid formula.

286 = 1/2h(8 +13)2
286 = 21h
21 21
h = 13.6

The width of the wading pool is approximately 13.6 feet.

What does -3/8 x 3/5 x -5/6 equal

allochka39001 [22]

It equals 3/16 because I first multiplied the first to fractions together and I know that negative times a positive is negative so we would get a negative and I also multiplied the 2 to get -9/40 and then multiplied -5/6 to -9/40 to get the answer of 3/16!
