Answer:

  y = 1/2x^2 +x -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is the point where the graph reaches is extreme: (-1, -8). The y-intercept is (0, -7.5). The x-intercepts are (-5, 0) and (3, 0).

When the quadratic is written in the form ...

  y = x^2 +bx +c

the value of b is the opposite of the sum of the x-intercepts. The value of c is their product. These facts would give ...

  y = x^2 -(-5 +3)x +(-5)(3) = x^2 +2x -15

The constant in this equation is -15, which is the value y has when x=0. Our actual y-intercept is half that, so the graph we see is this equation scaled by a factor of 1/2:

  y = 1/2x^2 +x -15/2

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can start with the vertex form.

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . vertical scale factor 'a' and vertex (h, k)

On the graph, the vertical scale factor is the vertical difference between the low point (vertex) and the point that is 1 unit right or left. Here, that is ...

  -7.5 - (-8) = 0.5 = a

We've already said the vertex is (h, k) = (-1, -8), so the vertex form equation is ...

  y = 0.5(x +1)^2 -8

We know the square of a binomial is (a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2, so we have ...

  y = 0.5(x^2 +2x +1) -8

  y = 0.5x^2 +x +0.5 -8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = 0.5x^2 +x -7.5

A van is rented for a family vacation. The van rental is $75.00 per day, plus a $160.00 insurance fee. Which equation could be u
marta [7]
8 days—> because if you 160 insurance is already added, subtract that to get your original price since that’s what is actually being counted.
So I did 760-160=600
600/75=8
Also your answer is D.

What it the angle measure ?
OLga [1]
∠V= 90°
So, 63°+90°+___=180°
27° will be the number in the blank.
Finally, 90°+27°= 117°

In short, the answer would be: ∠RVP= 117°

Hope this answer helps! Good luck :)

Comparing Relationships with Tables1. Decide whether each table could represent a proportional relationship.If the relationship
yan [13]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y=kx

where

k is the constant of proportionality

Verify each table

table a

Let

x ----> distance

y ----> sound level

For each ordered pair calculate the value of k

k=y/x

so

(5,85) -----> k=85/5=17

(10,79) ----> k=79/10=7.9

the values of k are differents

that means

the table nor represent a proportional relationship

table b

let

x ----> volume

y ----> cost

k=y/x

(16,1.49) ----> k=1.49/16=0.093125

(20,1.59) ----> k=1.59/20=0.0795

the values of k are differents

that means

the table nor represent a proportional relationship
