Can anyone on these two questions show your work and explain 5. the table below shows the temperature t(m) of a cup of hot chocolate that is allowed to chill over several minutes.) which expression best fit the data for t(m) ) a. 150(0.85)m b. 150(1.15)m c. 150(0.85)m-1 d. 150(1.15)m ) 7. the function f(x)=3x squared +12x+11 can be written as vertex form as what? and what is vertex form?

(1), (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

5.  If m starts at 1, a geometric series has the form a₁ (r)ᵐ⁻¹.

If m starts at 0, a geometric series has the form a₀ (r)ᵐ.

Here, m starts at 0.  The first term, a₀, is 150.  The temperature is decreasing, so we're looking for an r < 1.  Therefore, the answer must be (1) 150 (0.85)ᵐ.

7.  A quadratic written in vertex form is:

y = a(x - h)² + k

We can find the vertex of the parabola using x = -b/(2a).

x = -12 / (2*3)

x = -2

f(-2) = 3(-2)² + 12(-2) + 11

f(-2) = -1

So the vertex (h, k) is at (-2, -1).

Therefore, the answer must be f(x) = 3(x + 2)² - 1

We can also show this by completing the square.

f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 11

f(x) = 3(x² + 4x) + 11

f(x) = 3(x² + 4x + 4) - 3(4) + 11

f(x) = 3(x + 2)² - 1

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
