Answer:

Yes, that's right: the cross section will be a rectangle (but also a parallelogram).

Answer:

ΔLMN ~ ΔLFG; scale factor 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of side lengths, shortest to longest are ...

FG : GL : LF = 24 : 36 : 42 = 4 : 6 : 7 (reduced)

MN : NL : LM = 56 : 84 : 98 = 4 : 6 : 7 (reduced)

The side ratios are the same, so ΔLMN ~ ΔLFG. The scale factor is ...

MN/FG = 56/24 = 7/3

Given the quadratic equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%202%28x%20-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%208" id="TexFormula1" tit

Answer:

Part 1) "a" value is $2$

Part 2) The vertex is the point $(1,8)$

Part 3) The equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=1$

Part 4) The vertex is a minimum

Part 5) The quadratic equation in standard form is $y=2x^{2}-4x+10$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$y=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

if a > 0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a < 0 then the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximum)

The equation of the axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

$x=h$

In this problem we have

$y=2(x-1)^{2}+8$ -----> this is the equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola

The value of $a=2$

a>0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

The vertex is the point $(1,8)$

$(h,k)=(1,8)$

The equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=1$

The equation of a vertical parabola in standard form is equal to

$y=ax^{2}+bx+c$

Convert vertex form in standard form

$y=2(x-1)^{2}+8$

$y=2(x^{2}-2x+1)+8$

$y=2x^{2}-4x+2+8$

$y=2x^{2}-4x+10$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

May anyone help please

Depending on how flexibly you interpret "about 20 times larger" to mean, the answers are B and D.

Check the ratios of the larger number to the smaller number:

A: (2.01 x 10^7)/(4.25 x 10^6) = 2.01/4.25 x 10^1 = 20.1/4.25 = 4.729

B: (8.21 x 10^-3)/(4.13 x 10^-4) = 8.21/4.13 x 10^1 = 82.1/4.13 = 19.879

C: (4.91 x 10^6)/(5.09 x 10^3) = 4.91/5.09 x 10^3 = 4910/5.09 = 964.637

D: (5.97 x 10^4)/(3.12 x 10^3) = 5.97/3.12 x 10^1 = 59.7/3.12 = 19.135
