This is a parabola, first, locate the line of symmetry.
the line of symmetry is x=-b/2a
in this case, b=-2, a=-1, so the line of symmetry is x=-1
when x=-1, f(x)=-(-1)²-2(-1)-3=-2
locate the point (-1,-2) on the grid. this point is the vertex.
get two pairs of points with x=-1 as the symmetry line:
(0, -3) and (-2, -3); (1,-6) and (-3,-6)
connect these five points into a parabola, stick out at the ends because it will extend forever downward.
Answer: 120 days
Step-by-step explanation:
A can complete it in 16 days.
=100/16 =6.25%/day.
B has ten days to do it.
10% every day is equal to 100/10.
So they would each contribute 16.25 percent per day as a group.
then for six days,
16.25*6 =97.50percent
97.50% of the work has been finished, in other words.
The amount of work left is now 100-97.5 = 2.5.
C finishes up the remaining job in 3 days
3.5% in 3 days, to be exact.
Consequently, he will finish his entire project in 120 days.
[2.5 * 40 = 100 percent; 40 * 3 = 120 days]
Answer:
Area of remaining cardboard is 224y^2 cm^2
a + b = 226
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete and correct question is;
A rectangular piece of cardboard is 16y cm long and 23y cm wide. Four square pieces of cardboard whose sides are 6y cm each are cut away from the corners. Find the area of the remaining cardboard. Express your answer in terms of y. If your answer is ay^b, then what is a+b?
Solution;
Mathematically, at any point in time
Area of the cardboard is length * width
Here, area of the total cardboard is 16y * 23y = 368y^2 cm^2
Area of the cuts;
= 4 * (6y)^2 = 4 * 36y^2 = 144y^2
The area of the remaining cardboard will be :
368y^2-144y^2
= 224y^2
Compare this with;
ay^b
a = 224, and b = 2
a + b = 224 + 2 = 226
