<h3>Answer:    Malcom can run the furthest.</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Race 1

Let's convert Malcom's distance to inches so we can compare his distance to his sister's.

1 yard = 3 feet

10 yards = 30 feet (multiply both sides by 10)

1 foot = 12 inches

30 feet = 360 inches (multiply both sides by 30)

In Malcom's first race, he ran 360 inches. He has run the furthest compared to his sister who ran 300 inches.

------------------------

Race 2

Convert Malcom's distance from feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

18 feet = 216 inches (multiply both sides by 18)

Malcom runs 216 inches compared to his sister's distance of 180 inches. Malcom is the winner again.

------------------------

Race 3

120 inches = 120/12 = 10 feet

Divide by 12 to convert from inches to feet, or you could have these steps

12 inches = 1 ft

120 inches = 10 feet

after multiplying both sides by 10.

Malcom runs 10 feet compared to 5 feet which his sister runs.

In each race, Malcom has ran the furthest.

Diagram below shows the curve of a quadratic function
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

q = -8, k = 2.

r = -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - p)^2 + q

This is the vertex form of a quadratic where the vertex is at the point (p, q).

Now the x intercepts are at -6 and 2 and the curve is symmetrical about the line x = p.

The value of p is the midpoint of  -6 and 2 which is (-6+2) / 2 = -2.

So we have:

f(x) = 1/2(x - -2)^2 + q

f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 + q

Now the graph passes through the point (2, 0) , where it intersects the x axis, therefore, substituting x = 2 and f(x) = 0:

0 = 1/2(2 + 2)^2 + q

0 = 1/2*16 + q

0 = 8 + q

q = -8.

Now convert this to standard form to find k:

f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 - 8

f(x) = 1/2(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 8

f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x + 2 - 8

f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x - 6

So k = 2.

The  r  is the y coordinate when x = 0.

so r = 1/2(0+2)^2 - 8

=  -6.

Solve the system of equations algebraically. 5x-3y=6 6x-5y=10
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The solution is x = 0, y =  -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 3y = 6  

6x - 5y = 10

If we multiply the first equation by 5 and the second by - 3 we get:

25x - 15y = 30

-18x + 15y = -30     Adding these 2 equations eliminates y, we get:

7x + 0 = 0

x = 0.

Substituting x = 0 in the first equation:

5(0) - 3y = 6

y = 6/-3 = -2.

Annette [7]

Answer: b = -6

Step-by-step explanation: First add 10 to both sides to get -3b=18, then divide by -3 to get b = -6.

Hope this helped!
