Answer:

162 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Create a proportion:

\displaystyle\frac{6\hspace{5}apples}{2\hspace{5}oranges}=\frac{x\hspace{5}apples}{54\hspace{5}oranges}

\displaystyle\frac{6}{2}=\frac{x}{54}

Simplify fraction:

3\displaystyle=\frac{x}{54}

Multiply both sides by 54 to isolate x:

3*54=x\\x=162

Therefore, there would be 162 apples in the basket if there was 54 oranges.

I hope this helps!

Select the quadratic function graphed below.

~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases}

from the graph we can see that the vertex is at h = -2 and k = - 4, we also know that the parabola runs through the point (-1 , 0)

\stackrel{vertex}{(\stackrel{h}{-2}~~,~~\stackrel{k}{-4})}\qquad y=a[x-(-2)]^2-4\implies \underline{y=a(x+2)^2-4} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} x=-1\\ y=0 \end{cases}\qquad \implies 0=a(-1+2)^2-4\implies 0=a-4\implies 4=a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \underline{y=4(x+2)^2-4}~\hfill

What is the answer to <br> 2/5 =2/10+k
exis [7]
2/5 = 2/10 + k
multiply both sides (each term) by 10, we get
10×2/5 = 10× 2/10 + k ×10
4 = 2 + 10k
OR 10k = 4 - 2
10 k = 2
k = 2 / 10
Or k = 1/5
