The image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph. The image crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. The point (–1, 2) is also on

the parabola. Which equation can be used to model the image of the lens?
y = -1/5 (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = -1/3(x – 2)(x + 3)
y = -1/2 (x + 2)(x – 3)
y = 1/4 (x + 2)(x – 3)

Given the x-intercepts "b" and "c", a quadratic equation can be expressed as
y = a(x -b)(x -c)

Since the values for the x-intercepts are known, the equation can be specified as
y = a(x +2)(x -3), which rules out the first two response options.

By substituting the point (x, y) = (-1, 2), we find
2 = a(-1 + 2)(-1 - 3) = -4a.
From this, when divided by -4, we conclude
a = -2/4 = -1/2, indicating the third option matches.

Thus, the correct answer is
y = -1/2 (x + 2)(x - 3)

Sheri’s cab fare was $32, with a 20% gratuity and no taxes. Sheri wrote a check to the cab driver for $40.
zzz [12365]

Indeed, a fare of $40 is a fair charge for the cab ride.

Explanation

Sheri's cab fare totaled $32, with a gratuity rate of 20%.

The gratuity amount is: \$32* 20\% = \$32*0.20= \$6.40

Thus, the total cab fare including gratuity is: \$32+\$6.40 = \$38.40

Since Sheri issued a $40 check to the cab driver, it indicates she provided ($40 - $38.40) or an extra $1.60 to the cab driver. Consequently, the $40 payment is reasonable for the cab fare.

Anthony is informed that there is a 10% chance that he will be hired by the prestigious Acme corporation. He believes that, give
Zina [12379]

Answer:

8% likelihood that Anthony may soon join the Acme golf team

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities are as follows:

10% chance of being hired by the corporation.

If hired, an 80% probability of making the golf team is expected.

Given this information, we can calculate the probability of Anthony soon playing on the Acme golf team as:

80% of 10%

Thus

P = 0.8*0.1 = 0.08

8% chance that Anthony will soon be part of the Acme golf team

Write the number 0.21212121.. as a fraction let x=
AnnZ [12381]
To work with the repeating decimals, note that since there are two digits repeating, you will be using a 1 followed by two zeros, which is 100. This factor will be important for subsequent calculations.

Let’s denote the repeating decimal as x.

Thus, you can write

x = 0.212121...

Now, if you multiply this equation by 100, you can write it on top of the previous equation.
This results in:

100x = 21.212121...
x = 0.212121...

Next, set up a subtraction by taking the second equation from the first:

100x = 21.212121...
x = 0.212121...
- ----------------------------
99x = 21

Solving for x involves dividing both sides by 3:

33x = 7

Then, divide both sides by 33:

x = 7/33

Thus, we conclude that the repeating decimal 0.212121... equates to the fraction 7/33.

Answer: the fraction is 7/33

Mark and robyn used base-ten blocks to show that 200 is 100 times as much as 2. Whose model makes sense whose model is nonsense?
babunello [11817]

Answer:

Robyn's model is logical, while Mark's is illogical.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question doesn't require calculations. What we need to do is analyze each model logically.

Mark's

Mark's representation indicates 20 instead of 2, which signifies that 200 is ten times greater than 20, making it nonsensical.

Robyn's

Robyn's representation displays 2, suggesting that 200 is 100 times greater than 2, which is not only accurate but also reasonable since 100 * 2 equals 200.

lawyer [12517]

Answer:

d) Both blocks experienced equivalent energy loss due to friction

Explanation:

As stated in the question, two tractors are pulling two identical stone blocks the same distance across similar surfacesAdditionally, block A moves at double the speed of block B when completing the race

This implies both blocks suffer from comparable friction loss

Moreover, we understand that

Energy loss from friction is E(X) = np

Thus, the friction loss should be identical for both blocks

therefore, option d is the accurate choice p = 0.98
