Answer:

79.2% (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

use the percent change formula:

PC = [ (difference between initial value and final value) ÷ initial value] x 100

= [(77-16) ÷77] x 100

= 79.22077922...

= 79.2% (to the nearest tenth)

Jason has 60 cars. 30% is blue. How many are blue?

Dmitriy789 [7]

So to figure out 10% of this would be to remove the 0. that would be six. since 30÷10 is 3, we have to do 6×3. that would be 18, so 30% of 60 is 18

I’m not sure how to write this equation. Please check the picture to see the graph for yourself! Help will be much appreciated!

Makovka662 [10]

let's notice something, the parabola is a vertical one, so the squared variable is the x, and is opening downwards, meaning the x² will have a negative coefficient.

the distance from the vertex to the directrix/focus is the amount of "p" units, let's see in the graph, the distance from the vertex to the directrix is 2, and since the parabola is opening downwards, "p" is a negative 2, p = -2. The vertex is of course at (0, 2).

$\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}
\\\\
4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2
\qquad
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=2\\
p=-2
\end{cases}\implies 4(-2)(y-2)=(x-0)^2\implies -8(y-2)=x^2
\\\\\\
y-2=\cfrac{x^2}{-8}\implies \blacktriangleright y=-\cfrac{1}{8}x^2+2 \blacktriangleleft$
