The y-value of the vertex is positive 3, as shown by the +3 on the right hand side of the equation, and the x-value is -1, from the (x+1)^2 (remember, when the number is inside the brackets, flip the sign) The vertex would be (-1, 3)
If you are looking for a rigorous answer (calculus), we must find the mininum point of the equation: f(x) = (x+1)^2 + 3 f
f'(x) = 2(x+1) = 2x + 2
2x + 2 = 0
x = -1
f(1) = (-1 + 1)^2 + 3
f(1) = 0 + 3 = 3
(-1, 3)
Answer:
It is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
You divided 6.57 by 3
and 3 by 3
3 by 3 = 1
6.57 = 2.19
3 so for every 1 pound it costs $2.19
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The dealing of the cards can be seen in the following way:
We first have to choose which 7 cards are going to be dealt to the 1st player. So we have to pick 7 cards out of the 52 available cards. This can be done in 
ways. Now that we have chosen which 7 cards are going to be dealt to the 1st player, we have to choose which 2 of them are going to be the hidden ones. So we have to pick 2 cards out of the 7 cards to be the hidden ones. This can be done in 
ways. At this point we now know which cards are being dealt to the 1st player, and which ones are hidden for him. Then we have to choose which 7 cards to deal to the 2nd player, out of the remaining ones. So we have to pick 7 out of 52-7=45. (since 7 have been already dealt to the 1st player). This can be done in 
. Then again, we have to pick which 2 are going to be the hidden cards for this 2nd player. So we have to pick 2 out of the 7. This can be done in ways. Then we continue with the 3rd player. We have to choose 7 cards out of the remaining ones, which at this point are 52-7-7=38. This can be done in 
. And again, we have to choose which ones are the hidden ones, which can be chosen in ways. Finally, for the last player, we choose 7 out of the remaining cards, which are 52-7-7-7=31. This can be done in 
ways. And choosing which ones are the hidden ones for this player can be done in ways. At the end, we should multiply all our available choices on each step, to get the total choices or total ways to deal the cards to our 4 players (since dealing the cards is a process of several steps with many choices on each step).
The scale factor is:
So you divide the corresponding lengths and the ratio you get is the scale factor. Hope it helps!
