Answer:

m-n=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of using the standard form, we can use the vertex form of a quadratic equation:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

Where a is the leading coefficient, and (h, k) is our vertex.

Our vertex point is at (2, -4). So, let’s substitute 2 for h and -4 for k:

f(x)=a(x-2)^2-4

Now, we need to determine a.

We know that it passes through the point (4, 12). So, when x is 4, y must be 12. In other words:

12=a((4)-2)^2-4

Solve for a. Subtract within the parentheses:

12=a(2)^2-4

Add 4 to both sides:

16=a(2)^2

Square:

16=4a

Solve:

a=4

Thererfore, the value of a is 4.

So, our function is:

f(x)=4(x-2)^2-4

Now, let’s find our roots. Set the equation to 0 and solve for x:

0=4(x-2)^2-4

4=4(x-2)^2\\1=(x-2)^2\\x-2=\pm1 \\ x=2\pm1 \\ x=3\text{ or } 1

So, our roots are 1 and 3.

The greater root is 3 and the lesser root is 1.

Therefore, m-n, where m>n, is 3-1 or 2.

Our final answer is 2.

fenix001 [56]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   5/9 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth of the water is 2/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 2/5 of the width of the trough:

  2/5 × 2 m = 4/5 m

Then the surface area of the water is ...

  A = LW = (18 m)(4/5 m) = 14.4 m²

The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:

  8 m³/min = (14.4 m²)(h')

  h' = (8 m³/min)/(14.4 m²) = 5/9 m/min

11/3 divided by what equals 11 it has to be a fraction
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using algebra: let x be the unknown number.

so 11/3 ÷ x = 11.

Solving:

11/3 = 11x.

x = 11/3 ÷11  = 1/3

You can also check the answer by going:

11/3 ÷ 1/3 = 11/3 x 3/1  = 33/3 = 11 (using fraction rules for multiplying and dividing ie. to divide by a fraction we multiple by it's reciprocal, and to multiply by a fraction, we multiple the numerators and the denominators).
