Next anyone help it always helps haha 20 points

Distance between Amber and Claire's house = 17.63 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

In this graph three points are showing the locations of Amber's, Betsey's and Claire's houses.

Each unit on the graph represents 1 block.

Amber walks from her house to Claire's house, then on to Betsey's house.  

We have to calculate the distance covered by Amber.

Since Distance from Claire's house to Betsey's house = 7 blocks = 7 units

and distance between Amber and Betsey's house = 8 blocks = 8 units

Now we will calculate the distance between Amber and Claire's house by Pythagoras theorem.

Distance² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113

Distance = √113 units = 10.63 units

Therefore, total distance walked by Amber = 10.63 + 7 = 17.63 units = 17.63 blocks

the answer might be 17. 63 because there are 7 blocks in between them so try that sorry if its wrong

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
