Read the excerpt from Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

[Mr. Stonecrop] draped his arm around Turner's shoulders and drew him in, into his strength and power and presence. Turner felt as if he were moving in close to a mountain. But when he looked up into Mr. Stonecrop's face, he shuddered. Mr. Stonecrop was laughing, and his mouth was pulled into a grin, but his eyes were as dead as marbles, almost as if there were nothing behind them. He was like someone out of a ghost story, and Turner tried to draw away.

In this excerpt, Mr. Stonecrop is compared to a mountain. How does this description relate to Mr Stonecrop’s role in the main conflict of the story?

Mr. Stonecrop, like a mountain, is a fair and wise man whom others look up to for leadership about Malaga Island.
Mr. Stonecrop, like a mountain, is intimidating and strongly holds his position against the people of Malaga Island.
Mr. Stonecrop, like a mountain, changes with the seasons, and he changes his mind about the people of Malaga Island.
Mr. Stonecrop, like a mountain, is an elderly man who lets others decide what is best in reference to Malaga Island.

Please help me with this:

A teacher decorated her classroom with 3 times as many balloons as paper fans. She used 12 fewer streamers than twice the number of paper fans. If the teacher had a total of 120 balloons, paper fans, and streamers, how many of each kind of decoration did she use?

Answers

Answer:

She used 22 paper fans, 66 balloons, and 32 streamers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to find out the value of the paper fans. Because we need to find out the balloon amount, which is 3 times as much. The amount of streamers is 12 fewer than two times. We can't find it out just yet since we don't know the value of the paper fans. To find it out:

First, let's call the amount of paper fan as "x".

Then, we need to find out the amount of balloons. It is 3 times x. Which is the same as 3x.

The equation is now x + 3x + (?) = 120

We need to find out the amount of the (?).

So, to do that, it says the value is 12 fewer than 2 times the value of x. (x, because it is the amount of paper fans.)

It should be 2x-12.

Now, the equation is x+3x+2x-12=120.

Once we solve it, we know "x" is 22.

Now, we can multiply 3 by 22. Which is 66.

Then we can multiply 22 by 2, which is 44, and subtract 12, which is 32.

To double check, 22 + 44 + 32 = 120.

That's your answer!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

its 22, and 66, and 32

Is the point (4,11) a solution to the following system of equations? How do you know?
y=2x+14
y=3x−5

Answers

No because when you plug in the ordered pair to either equation it doesn’t work. Y=2x+14 would go to 11=2(4)+14 and you would get 11=22 which is wrong. Again with y=3x-5 would be 11=3(4)-5; 11=7 which is wrong again.

Write the equation in standard form of the circle whose diameter has endpoints of (-2, 4) and (8,-6).

Answers

Answer:

(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter

= (-2+8)/2 , (4 - 6)/2

= (3, -1).

The radius^2  can be calculated from one point on the circle ( -2, 4) and the center (3, -1).

The radius^2 =  (-2-3)^2 + (4- -1)^2

= 25 + 25 = 50.

So the equation of the circle

is (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^ = r^2   where (a, b) is center and radius = r.

= (x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 50

Ali graphs the function f(x) = –(x + 2)2 – 1 as shown.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 3, 0), has a vertex at (negative 2, negative 1), and goes through (negative 1, 0). A vertical dashed line at (negative 2, 0) is parallel to the y-axis.
Which best describes the error in the graph?

The axis of symmetry should be x = –1.
The axis of symmetry should be x = 2.
The vertex should be a maximum.
The vertex should be (–2, 1).

Answers

Answer:

The axis of symmetry should be x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

:)

We have given that the function y = - (x + 2)² - 1. So, The axis of symmetry should be x=2 describing the error in the graph.

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

If a quadratic equation is written in the form

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2 + k[/tex]

then it is called to be in vertex form. It is called so because when you plot this equation's graph, you will see vertex point(peak point) is on (h,k)

This point (h,k) is called the vertex of the parabola that the quadratic equation represents.

We have given that the function y = - (x + 2)² - 1

so we have a =-1,

-h=2 implies that h=-2

k=-1

Therefore the vertex is (h,k)=(-2,-1)

vertex = (- 2, - 1)  

The axis of symmetry passes through the vertex, is vertical with the equation

x = - 2 is correct.

When the a > 0, the vertex is a minimum

when  a < 0, implies that vertex is a maximum

here a=-1 < 0 implies vertex should be a maximum

Since, the vertex(-2,-1) is maximum

Therefore the axis of symmetry should be x=2 to represent error in the graph.

In APQR, T, U and S are points of tangency. PR = 12 units. Find TR.

Answer:

TR = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

PR = 12 units

PU = PS = 9 units (tangents drawn from an external point are congruent)

RU = PR - PU

RU = 12 - 9

RU = 3 units

TR = RU = 3 units (tangents drawn form an external point of a circle)

Final Amount= $6000

expression for the time is given as

t = ln(A/P) / r

Substitute

t= ln(6000/3000)/0.06

t= ln(2)/0.06

t= 0.693/0.06

t= 11.55 years

Replacing x with (x-h) translates the graph h units to the right. You want h=7.

Replacing f(x) with f(x)+k translates the graph k units upward. You want k=6.

B)  The probability that a car chosen at random is not made in the United States is 60%.

C)  The probability that two randomly chosen cars are both from Japan is 9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supposing that 40% of cars in my area are manufactured in the US, 30% in Japan, 10% in Germany, and 20% in other countries, to determine the probabilities that a car selected at random is made in Germany or Japan, a car selected at random is not US-made and two cars are selected at random, both are from Japan, the following calculations must be performed:

A)

(30 + 10) / 100 = X

40/100 = X

0.4 = X

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen car is made in Germany or Japan is 40%.

B)

(30 + 10 + 20) / 100 = X

60/100 = X

0.6 = X

Therefore, the probability that a car chosen at random is not made in the United States is 60%.

C)

10/30 x 10/30 = X

0.3 x 0.3 = X

0.09 = X

Therefore, the probability that two randomly chosen cars are both from Japan is 9%.
