Answer:
1. the y-intercept is 9.5 and it means the starting length of the candle
2. the slope is -1/2 and it means that the candle burns 1/2 an inch every hour
3. it burns an inch every 2 hours, it is 9.5 inches long, so 19 hours it'll take to burn.
Answer:
V( 3, -8 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Parable equation is of the form:
( x - h )² = 4p*(y - k)
In that expression, vertex has coordinates V ( h, k )
Then all we have to do is transform the given equation
y = x² - 6x + 1 or x² - 6x = y - 1 (1)
We can get a perfect square trinomial in the first member of the equation according to:
x² - 6x = ( x - 3 )² - 9
(x - 3 )² = x² - 6x + 9
By substitution en equation (1)
( x - 3 )² - 9 = y - 1
( x - 3 )² = y -1 + 9
( x - 3 )² = y + 8
( x - 3 )² = (y + 8 )
Then vertex coordinates are
V( 3 , -8)
I did the math but I got -4 so maybe -14
Apply Pythagoras:
length = sqrt( (10--4)² + (6-3)² ) = sqrt(205)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other
The figure XYZW is a parallelogram
so
VW=VY
VX=VZ
<em>Find the value of b</em>
VW=VY
substitute the given values
solve for b
Find the length of YW
----> by addition segment postulate
substitute the value of b
