<span>The vertex form of a quadratic is given by. y = a(x – h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex. The "a" in the vertex form is the same "a" as. in y = ax2 + bx + c (that is, both a's have exactly the same value). The sign on "a" tells you whether the quadratic opens up or opens down.</span><span>

Answer:
a : c = 7 : 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The two ratios (a : b and b : c) both have b in common, so to work out what a : c is, we can use b to 'bridge' the two ratios together.
However, in a : b, b is 4. But in b : c, b is 2. We need to make sure b is the same in both ratios before we can combine the ratios together. The easiest way to do this is to multiply b : c by 2 to get b : c = 4 : 10. Now b is 4 in both ratios.
So now, we can combine the two ratios together to get a : b : c = 7 : 4 : 10. Since we only want a : c though, we can just drop the b and get a : c = 7 : 10. No simplifying is necessary since the ratio is already in its simplest form.
Hope that helps! :)

Answer:
In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.
In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)
6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property
6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property
In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.
In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.
