Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You're given a coordinate in the form of (x, y) and you're also given the vertex in the form of (h, k). We will use those in the vertex form of the equation
and solve for a. Filling in:
which simplifies a bit to
and a bit more to
. Add 3 to both sides to get
-8 = 4a so
a = -2
The equation, then, is

If a function has roots -1 and -5, it must be in the form

We can fix the coefficient a by imposing the passing through (0,-30):

So, the function is

Answer:
Equation: y(1.09)^x
After 10 years there will be about 12 squirrels.
Step-by-step explanation:
y(1.09)^x
=5(1.09)^10
=(approx.) 12 squirrels
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the other leg be x
Using Pythagoras' identity
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 1² = 3²
x² + 1 = 9 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
x² = 8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
= 
=
×
= 2
← exact value
