Use substitution.
2p + 3(2p) = 680
2p + 6p = 680
8p = 680
p = 85
Plug in.
x = 2p
x = 2(85)
x = 170
p = 85
Answer:
36 Miles
Step-by-step explanation: 15 + 9 + 12 = 36 miles
Since the parabola is connecting the points, it means that the points given are on the parabola or that the points are solutions of the parabola. Thus, when we substitute the points into the function, we should end up with the correct y-value.
To find the correct choice, let's test a point. An easy point to test I believe would be (-3, 0) because we should be getting 0 as a y-value. Let's test:
We can see that Choice B is the correct function, because it produces 0 when we substitute 
. Thus, Choice B, or (x + 3)(x - 4) is the answer.
Given:
Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters
Length of each piece = 1.125 meters
Number of pieces = 8
To find:
The remaining tape.
Solution:
We have,
Length of 1 piece = 1.125 meters
Length of 8 piece = 8 × 1.125 meters
= 9 meters
Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters
Remaining tape = Total length of tape in roll - Length of 8 piece
= 16.8 - 9 meters
= 7.8 meters
Therefore, the length of remaining tape is 7.8 meters.
The answer is -19 1/2 feet
