Answer:
Suppose the closest point is at p=(x0,y0), and set q=(−2,−3). Then the tangent to the parabola at p is perpendicular to ℓ, the line through p,q. and we end up numerically computing the roots from here.
Factored form: (-x-4) (x-6)
Standard form: y= −x^2 + 2x + 24
Zeros: -4, 6
Oh my umm I don’t know sorry
Calcualate 40% (0.40) times 20 to get that there are 8 boys in the class. The rest must be girls, so 20 - 8 gives you 12 girls. 25% (0.25) times the 8 boys gives you that 2 of the boys wear glasses. 50% (0.5) times the 12 girls tives you that 6 girls wear glasses. Add together the 2 boys and the 6 girls that wear glasses to get that a total of 8 students wear glasses.
18 x 3 = 54. So the correct answer is D. 54 pounds.
