First let's get the vertex of the function

( \frac{-b}{2a},f( \frac{-b}{2a}))

(-1,25) is the vertex

so the maximum height is 25 feet

What is the wavelength of a photon with an every of 3.38x 10^-19 J
Alexxandr [17]
From the attached graphic:
e = c*h/wavelength therefore,
wavelength = c*h / e
wavelength = 299,792,458 * 6.62606957e-34 / 3.38x10^-19
wavelength = 5.8771e-7 meters

What is the measure of angle B in the triangle?<br>will give brainliest
spayn [35]
The angles of a triangle always add up to 180°.

120 + x + 16 + x = 180

Add up the values.

136 + 2x = 180

Subtract 136 from both sides.

2x = 44

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 22

During the first stages of an epidemic, the number of sick people increases exponentially with time. Suppose that at = 0 days th
nydimaria [60]
T = days passed

r = rate of growth

by 0 day, or t = 0, there are 2 folks sick,

\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}&#10;\\\\&#10;A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &2\\&#10;P=\textit{initial amount}\\&#10;r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\&#10;t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &0\\&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;2=P(1+r)^0\implies 2=P\cdot 1\implies 2=P\qquad \boxed{A=2(1+r)^t}

 by the third day, t = 3, there are 40 folks sick,

\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}&#10;\\\\&#10;A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &40\\&#10;P=\textit{initial amount}\to &2\\&#10;r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\&#10;t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &3\\&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;40=2(1+r)^3\implies 20=(1+r)^3\implies \sqrt[3]{20}=1+r&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sqrt[3]{20}-1=r\implies 1.7\approx r\qquad \boxed{A=2(2.7)^t}

how many folks are there sick by t = 6?   \bf \stackrel{that~many}{A=2(2.7)^6}

P(x)=(x-2)(x-4)(x-5)
Cerrena [4.2K]

The constants of a polynomial is the term that has no variable attached to it.

<h3>The constant term</h3>

To determine the constant, we simply multiply the constant term in each factor of the polynomial.

So, we have:

<h3 /><h3>Polynomial P(x) = (x-2)(x-4)(x-5)</h3>

Constant = -2 \times -4 \times -5

Constant = -40

Hence, the constant is -40

<h3>Polynomial P(x) = (x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</h3>

Constant = -2 \times -4 \times 5

Constant = 40

Hence, the constant is 40

<h3>Polynomial P(x) =1/2(x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</h3>

Constant = \frac 12 \times -2 \times -4 \times 5

Constant = 20

Hence, the constant is 20

<h3>Polynomial P(x) = 5(x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</h3>

Constant = 5 \times -2 \times -4 \times 5

Constant = 200

Hence, the constant is 200

<u>P(x) =-5(x-2)(x-4)(x+5)</u>

Constant = -5 \times -2 \times -4 \times 5

Constant = -200

Hence, the constant is -200
