Answer: 12 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 175 and divide it by 15

175/15

You will get 11.6

Since you are unable to order 11.6 packages you will need to order 12 packages to have enough lightbulbs.

(0,-4),(1,0),(2,2) find a quadratic function in standard form for each set of points.

Sphinxa [80]

We are given the points
(0,-4),(1,0),(2,2)
The standard form a quadratic function (in terms of x) is
y = Ax2 + Bx + C
Subsitute the points
-4 = 0 + 0 + C
C = -4

0 = A + B - 4

2 = 4A + 2B - 4

Solve for A and B
A = -1
B = 5

The function is
y = -x2 + 5x - 4

What is the equation of this parabola in vertex form

attashe74 [19]

first off, let's notice the parabola is a vertical one, therefore the squared variable is the x, and the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the coefficient of x² is positive.

let's notice the vertex, or U-turn, is at (-2, 2)

$\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \boxed{y=a(x- h)^2+ k}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{-2}{ h},\stackrel{2}{ k}) \\\\\\ y=+1[x-(-2)]^2+2\implies y=(x+2)^2+2$
