One form of the equation of a parabola is
y = ax² + bx + c
The curve passes through (0,-6), (-1,-12) and (3,0). Therefore
c = - 6 (1)
a - b + c = -12 (2)
9a + 3b + c = 0 (3)
Substitute (1) into (2) and into (3).
a - b -6 = -12
a - b = -6 (4)
9a + 3b - 6 = 0
9a + 3b = 6 (5)
Substitute a = b - 6 from (4) into (5).
9(b - 6) + 3b = 6
12b - 54 = 6
12b = 60
b = 5
a = b - 6 = -1
The equation is
y = -x² + 5x - 6
Let us use completing the square to write the equation in standard form for a parabola.
y = -[x² - 5x] - 6
= -[ (x - 2.5)² - 2.5²] - 6
= -(x - 2.5)² + 6.25 - 6
y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25
This is the standdard form of the equation for the parabola.
The vertex us at (2.5, 0.25).
The axis of symmetry is x = 2.5
Because the leading coefficient is -1 (negative), the curve opens downward.
The graph is shown below.
Answer: y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25
150 more male bats need to be tagged
if you want 2/5 to be female you divide the 260 (<160+100) by 2 to get 130
then you multiply 130 by 3 to get the total amount of male bats that need to be tagged
130*3=390
then you subtract 240 from the 390 to find out how many more bats need to be tagged
390-240=150
The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is A=6y^2 where y is the side length. we know a=96. so we just isolate y.
96/6= 6y^2 / 6
16=y^2
sqrt (16) = sqrt(y^2)
4=y
So y is 4
Answer:
Mala had 14 sweets at the start.
Step-by-step explanation:
7 x 2 = 14
To check, 14/2 = 7. (Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2)
