Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your y= -x2 -10x +1 should be written as y = -x^2 -10x +1. This is a quadratic function. Because the coefficient (-1) of the x^2 term is negative, we know immediately that the graph (a parabola) opens down, and thus has a maximum.

What is the length of the shorter base of the Little Trapezoid trail?

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The length of the shorter base of the little trapezoid trail is 1 mi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter base of the large trapezoid is S and the larger base of the large trapezoid is L.

Similarly, assume that the shorter base of the small trapezoid is s and the larger base of the small trapezoid is l.

Since, the trapezoids are similar, so

$\frac{L}{l} = \frac{S}{s}$

Now, given that S = 2 mi, L = 8 mi and l = 4 mi and we have to find s.

So, $s = \frac{S \times l}{L} = \frac{4 \times 2}{8} = 1$ mi. (Answer)

4. x^2+13x=-42

Mrrafil [7]

$x^2+13x=-42\ \ \ |+42\\\\x^2+13x+42=0\\\\x^2+6x+7x+42=0\\\\x(x+6)+7(x+6)=0\\\\(x+6)(x+7)=0\iff x+6=0\ \vee\ x+7=0\\\\x=-6\ \vee\ x=-7$
