Answer:
-0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The 'a' value can be found by looking at the difference between the y-value of a point 1 unit from the vertex, and the y-value of the vertex.
Here, that is a negative fraction of a unit. If we assume the value is a rational number that can be accurately determined from this graph, then we can find it by looking for a point where the graph crosses a grid intersection. It looks like such grid points are (-7, 0) and (3, 0). The vertex is apparently (-2, 4), so the vertex form of the equation is ...
y = a(x +2)^2 +4
Using the point (3, 0), we have ...
0 = a(3 +2)^2 +4 . . . . . fill in the values of x and y
-4 = 25a . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4; next, divide by 25
a = -4/25 = -0.16

Answer:
maybe
Step-by-step explanation:
Dora is apparently assuming the dimensions are integers. In that case she is correct.
If the dimensions are unconstrained, the perimeter will be largest when a pair of opposite sides will be the smallest measure allowed.
For some perimeter P and side length x, the area is ...
A = x(P/2 -x)
Conversely, the perimeter for a given area is ...
P = 2(A/x +x)
This gets very large when x gets very small, so Dora is correct in saying that the side lengths that are as small as they can be will result in the largest perimeter. We have no way of telling if her assumption of integer side lengths is appropriate. If it is not, her statement makes no sense.
Answer:
3.33 ounces in each bowl
Step-by-step explanation:
7.49 + 6.26 = 13.75
subtract 0.43 and that equals 13.32
13.32 ÷ 4 = 3.33
I hope this helped :/
