The axis of symmetry is the fold line that splits the parabola down the middle.

Now, since a parabola is symmetrical, every point, except the vertex, will have a mirror image of another point if we folded the parabola over the axis of symmetry.

So if we know the axis of symmetry is x = 3 and one of our points

has the coordinates (5, 0), the other point will have the coordinates (3, 0).

The axis of symmetry is always halfway between the x-intercepts.

David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9. Frances gets ?80 more than David. Explain how you know Egil gets ?80.

Natalija [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9.

Let 2x, 7x and 9x be the amounts of money that David, Agil and Frances get respectively.

We are told that Frances gets $80 more than David. So we can write this information in an equation as:

$9x=2x+80$

Now let us solve for x.

$9x-2x=80$

$7x=80$

$x=\frac{80}{7}$

Now let us substitute $x=\frac{80}{7}$ in 7x (amount of money that Egil gets).

$\text{ Amount of money that Egil will get}=7\cdot \frac{80}{7}$

Upon cancelling out 7 from numerator and denominator we will get,

$\text{ Amount of money that Egil will get}=80$

Therefore, Egil will get $80.

NeX [460]

So there's 5 body types each with 4 colors. 5x4 is 20. For each of these 20 cars there is 3 kinds of upholstery. 20x3 is 60. Therefore, the dealer would need a minimum of 60 cars to show his complete line. Hope this helped!
