Answer:

B. y = -0.58x^2 -0.43x +15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The data has a shape roughly that of a parabola opening downward. So, you'll be looking for a 2nd-degree equation with a negative coefficient of x^2. There is only one of those, and its y-intercept (15.75) is in about the right place.

The second choice is appropriate.

_____

The other choices are ...

A. a parabola opening upward

C. an exponential function decaying toward zero on the right and tending toward infinity on the left

D. a line with negative slope (This might be a good linear regression model, but the 2nd-degree model is a better fit.)

7. Ella and her family normally pay $165 per

Anna [14]

Answer:

$99

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of electricity per year= $165

Tax per month= 5%

Amount of tax paid per month= 5% of $165

= 0.05 × 165

= $8.25

Ella's family pays $8.25 tax per month

There are 12 months in 1 year

Ella's family will pay Ina year = $8.25 × 12

= $99

Ella's family will pay $99 tax for an entire year

an employer will do a 50% match on your investment to a 401k retirement plan. If you decide to contribute a monthly amount of $2

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data, we have the following:

monthly amount of $220=R

interest rate is fixed at 2.05%. We require the monthly ineterest rate, hence monthly interest rate= 2.05%/12=0.1708%=0.0017

t=15years×12=180 months

In order to calculate how much should be in the account after 15 years, we would have to use the following formula:

Ap=R(1-(1+i)∧-t)

Ap=220(1-(1+0.0017)∧-180)

0.0017

Ap=162,04

0.0017

Ap=$95,321.85

The amount that should be in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

A parabola, with its vertex at the origin, has a directrix at y = 3. Which statements about the parabola are true? Select two op

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's answer these questions in an all-encompassing kind of explanation. If you plot the vertex and the directrix, you see that the vertex is below the directrix. Because of the fact that a parabola opens AWAY from the directrix, and wraps itself around the focus, we know it's an upside down parabola of the form

$4p(y-k)=-(x-h)^2$

The p value from the equation is a distance, specifically the distance between either the vertex and the directrix, or the vertex and the focus. The vertex is exactly in the middle of the directrix and the focus. So that tells us that the focus is 3 units below the vertex (because the directrix is 3 units above the vertex). We also know from this that p = 3.

Filling in the equation with a vertex of (0, 0) which is our h and k respectively:

$4(3)(y-0)=-(x-0)^2$ which simplifies to

$12y=-x^2$ and multiplying both sides by -1:

$-12y=x^2$ . This is not standard form, but it matches what your equation is in the choices. So to sum up:

The focus is located at (0, -3) and the first choice is true.

The parabola opens upside down and the second choice is not true.

The p value is found by counting the units between the vertex and the directrix, so the third choice is not true.

We solved the equation by filling in the values for h, k, and p and got that the equation in the fourth choice is true.

So the fifth choice is not true.

Which sequence of transformations produces R'S'T' from RST? On a coordinate plane, triangle R S T has points (0, 0), (negative 2

arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle RST and another triangle R'S'T' tranformed from RST

Vertices of RST are (0, 0), (negative 2, 3), (negative 3, 1).

Vertices of R'S'T' are (2, 0), (0, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 1).

Comparing the corresponding vertices we find that x coordinate increased by 2 while y coordinate got the different sign.

This indicates that there is both reflection and transformation horizontally to the right by 2 units

So first shifted right by 2 units so that vertices became

(2,0) (0,3) (-1,1)

Now reflected on the line y=0 i.e. x axis

New vertices are

(2,0) (0,-3) (-1,-1)

An unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30{,}00030,00030, comma, 000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck

kari74 [83]

Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$
