Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is how to approach the problem:
We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.
At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.
Now we have two choices left.
For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.
Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.
h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.
We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.
Given:
Intersecting lines DA and CE.
To find:
Each pair of adjacent angles and vertical angles.
Solution:
Adjacent angles are in the same straight line.
<u>Pair of adjacent angles:</u>
(1) ∠EBD and ∠DBC
(2) ∠DBC and ∠CBA
(3) ∠CBA and ∠ABE
(4) ∠ABE and ∠EBD
Vertical angles are opposite angles in the same vertex.
<u>Pair of vertical angles:</u>
(1) ∠EBD and ∠CBA
(2) ∠DBC and ∠EBA
The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,
A = 0.5(9.6 + 25)(90) = 1557 mi²
Therefore, the approximate area of the country is 1557 mi².
The vertex is (-1.5, -6.75). So the x-coordinate is -1.5. Hope this helps and if so please leave a good rating and thanks. I really appreciate it. Have a nice day!
