Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (1, -9) and y intercept at (0, -6).

1 answer:

3 0

Hello,

Equation is y=k(x-1)²-9
and when x=0,y=-6==>-6=k*1²-9==>k=3

y=3(x-1)²-9
when y=0, 3(x-1)²-9=0
==>(x-1-√3)(x-1+√3)=0
x-intercepts are (1+√3,0) and (1-√3,0)

Answer B.

Two urns each contain green balls and blue balls. urn i contains 4 greenballs and 6 blue balls, and urn ii contains 6 green ball

Lemur [1.5K]

1st urn....4 green balls, 6 blue balls.....10 total balls....probability of drawing a blue ball in urn 1 is : 6/10 reduces to 3/5

2nd urn...6 green balls, 2 blue balls....8 total balls...probability of drawing a blue ball in urn 2 is : 2/8 reduces to 1/4

probability both balls are blue : 3/5 * 1/4 = 3/20 <==

Ryans living room is 10 feet wide, 12 feet long, and 10 feet high. If one gallon of paint covers 400 square feet of surface area

Delicious77 [7]

We have to calculate the suface of the four walls and the ceiling.
Surface of the four walls=2(10 ft * 10ft ) + 2(12 ft * 10 ft)=200 ft² + 240 ft²=
=440 ft²
Surface of the ceiling=10 ft * 12 ft=120 ft²

Total surface=440 ft² + 120 ft²=560 ft²

Now, we have to caluclate the number of gallons of paint.

1 gallon------------------------400 ft²
x----------------------------------560 ft²

x=(1 gallon * 560 ft²) / 400 ft²=1.4 gallons.

answer: Ryan need to paint all four walls and the ceiling 1.4 gallons.

An arborist wants to prune an oak tree that has grown too tall. The arborist takes a 15-foot ladder and places it on a horizonta

SCORPION-xisa [38]

See the attached picture to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos 70=adjacent side angle 70/hypotenuse
adjacent side angle 70=BC----> <span>distance between the ladder and the tree trunk
hypotenuse=AC------> 15 ft

cos 70=BC/AC-------> solve for BC
BC=AC*cos 70------> BC=15*cos 70-----> BC=5.13 ft

the answer is
the </span>distance between the ladder and the tree is 5.13 ft<span>
