<h3>Answer: 2</h3>

Explanation:

The range is y ≤ 2 which means that y = 2 is the largest y can get. The parabola opens downward to form a sort of "frowny face" so to speak. When moving down the parabola, we'll cross the x axis at two different spots. An example of this is shown below with the equation y = -x^2+2.

There's no connection between the '2' in y ≤ 2 and the final answer of 2 roots. We could easily have a range of something like y ≤ 5 or y ≤ 8 and the answer will still remain as 2. The most roots a parabola can have is 2.

What is the best approximation of the surface area of this right cone

Tatiana [17]

Use the formula for the surface area of a right cone:

$\sf A=\pi rs+\pi r^2$

Where 'r' is the radius and 's' is the slant height, plug in what we know(use 3.14 to approximate for pi):

$\sf A=(3.14)(12)(15)+(3.14)(12)^2$

Multiply and simplify exponent:

$\sf A=565.2+(3.14)(144)$

Multiply:

$\sf A=565.2+452.16$

Add, round to the nearest whole number:

$\boxed{\sf A\approx 1017~cm^2}$

When the square of a certain number is diminished by 9 times the number the result is 36?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

X²-9x=36
minus 36 both sides
x²-9x-36=0
what 2 numbers multiply to -36 and add to -9
-12 and 3
(x-12)(x+3)=0
set to zero
x-12=0
x=12

x+3=0
x=-3

the number is either -3 or 12
