Answer:

2a)  -2

b) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h

2 a)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then

                 f(6) = 0

⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         16a - 6 = 0

⇒              16a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/16 = 3/8

So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒      3/8(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 16

⇒              x - 2 = ±4

⇒                   x = 6,  -2

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2

b)

Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):  

f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6

If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then

                 f(-4) = 0

⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒         36a - 6 = 0

⇒              36a = 6

⇒                  a = 6/36 = 1/6

So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6

To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:

                    f(x) = 0

⇒  1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0

⇒       1/6(x - 2)² = 6

⇒           (x - 2)² = 36

⇒              x - 2 = ±6

⇒                   x = 8,  -4

Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8

Your school district cancels schools when more than 2.5 inches of snow accumulate on the ground each hour. Snow is currently acc
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Extra snow needed > 0. 3 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cancelation occurs when > 2.5 inch of snow accumulates each hour

Accumulation rate = 11/5 inch per hour

Extra snow Accumulation needed to cancel. School ;

Extra snow needed > cancelation volume - current rate

Extra snow needed > (2.5 - 11/5)

Extra snow needed > 0. 3 inch

The Smith family is shopping for a new car and they are basing their decision on color and style. Explain how many color choices
Yanka [14]
Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1 color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles, or 8 colors and 1 style.

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

all odd numbers possible: 1, 3, 5, 7

__ __ __ __

there are 4 possibilities for the first blank

for the second blank there are 4-1 = 3 possibilities as one of the numbers will have been used

for the third blank there are 4-2 = 2 possibilities as 2 of the numbers have been used

for the last blank there is only 1 possibility

so the number of solutions possible is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24

On a town map, each unit of the coordinate plane represents 1 mile. Three branches of a bank are located at A(−3, 1), B(3, 3), a
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The minimum total distance the employee may have driven before getting stuck in traffic is 8.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The rule of the distance between to points (x_{1},y_{1})

  and (x_{2},y_{2}) i s d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

- So at first we will find the distance between the three points

∵ A = (-3 , 1) , B = (3 , 3) , C = (3 , -1)

- By using the rule of distance

∴ AB=\sqrt{(3--3)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{36+4}=\sqrt{40}=6.325

∴ BC=\sqrt{(3-3)^{2}+(-1-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{0+16}=4

∴ AC=\sqrt{(3--3)^{2}+(-1-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{36+4}=\sqrt{40}=6.325

∵ Each unit coordinate plane represents 1 mile

∵ AB = 6.3 units

∴ The distance between branches A and B = 6.325 miles

∵ BC = 4 units

∴ The distance between branches B and C = 4 miles

∵ AC = 6.3 units

∴ The distance between branches A and C = 6.325 miles

- A bank employee drives from Branch A to Branch B and then

 drives halfway to Branch C before getting stuck in traffic

∵ The distance from branch A to branch B is 6.325 miles

∵ The distance from branch B to branch C is 4 miles

∵ The half way from branch B to branch C = 1/2 × 4 = 2 miles

∴ The distance the employee may have driven before getting

   stuck in traffic = 6.325 + 2 = 8.325 miles

∴ The minimum total distance the employee may have driven

   before getting stuck in traffic is 8.3 miles
