Answer:
Difference between the distances traveled by Mary and Kate = 226 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying Pythagoras theorem in right ΔDEF,
(DE)² + (EF)² = (DF)²
By substituting DE = 264 feet and EF = 900 feet
(264)² + (900)² = (DF)²
DF = √(69696+810000)
= √879696
= 937.92
Distance traveled by Kate diagonally = 938 feet
Distance traveled by Mary = DE + EF
= 264 + 900
= 1164 feet
Difference between the distances traveled by Mary and Kate = DF - (DE + EF)
= 1164 - 937.92
= 226.07
≈ 226 feet
-16y = -12x + 48
y = .75x -3
The rate of change is .75 or 3/4.
The answer is 2.36 :) :) :) :) :)
The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.
In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.
y = 2x² - 5x + 13
Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
y - 13 = 2x² - 5x
Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.
y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)
Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.
y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)
y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)
Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.
y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²
Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.
y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)
Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Or if you prefer fractions
y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8
