    Find the axis of symmetry of each parabola.  - ProProfs

    Find the axis of symmetry of each parabola. 

    • X=3

    • X=-3

    • Y=3

    • Y=-3

    Correct Answer
    A. X=-3
    Explanation
    The answer x=-3 is the axis of symmetry for the given parabola. In general, the axis of symmetry for a parabola is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two equal halves. In this case, the equation x=-3 represents a vertical line passing through the point (-3,0). This line divides the parabola into two equal halves, where the points on the left side of the axis of symmetry are mirrored on the right side. Therefore, x=-3 is the axis of symmetry for the given parabola.

    What are the next three terms in the sequence?-5, 10, -20, 40...

    • 80, 160, 320

    • 45, 50, 55

    • -80, 160, 320

    • -80, 160, -320

    Correct Answer
    A. -80, 160, -320
    Explanation
    The given sequence alternates between multiplying the previous term by -2 and multiplying the previous term by 2. The first term -5 is multiplied by -2 to get 10, then 10 is multiplied by -2 to get -20, and so on. Therefore, the next three terms in the sequence would be -80 (multiplying 40 by -2), 160 (multiplying -20 by 2), and -320 (multiplying 160 by -2).

    What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 2x – 8?

    • 4 and -2

    • -4 and 2

    • 6 and 2

    • 8 and -1

    Correct Answer
    A. -4 and 2
    Explanation
    The zeros of a function are the values of x for which the function equals zero. In this case, we need to find the values of x that make the equation f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 8 equal to zero. By factoring or using the quadratic formula, we can determine that the zeros of the function are -4 and 2.

    A theme park costs $25.00 to enter. One of the food stands within the park sells hot dogs for$2.50 each and hamburgers for $3.50 each. If Paul enters the park, walks to the food stand, andpurchases d hot dogs and b hamburgers, the amount of money m he spends can be modeled bythe equation m = 2.5d + 3.5b + 25.  Which of the following is the correct interpretation of thisequation?

    • 2.5d represents the cost of entering the park.

    • 2.5d represents the cost of purchasing d hot dogs.

    • 2.5d represents the cost of purchasing d hamburgers.

    • 3.5b represents the cost of entering the park.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.5d represents the cost of purchasing d hot dogs.
    Explanation
    The equation m = 2.5d + 3.5b + 25 represents the total amount of money Paul spends when he enters the park, purchases d hot dogs, and b hamburgers. The term 2.5d specifically represents the cost of purchasing d hot dogs, as it is multiplied by the number of hot dogs bought.

    What is the equation that represents the graph? - ProProfs

    What is the equation that represents the graph?

    • Y= -5/2x +1

    • Y=2/5x + 1

    • Y=5/2x - 1

    • Y=2/5x - 1

    Correct Answer
    A. Y=2/5x - 1
    Explanation
    The equation that represents the graph is y=2/5x - 1. This can be determined by comparing the equation to the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. In this case, the slope is 2/5, indicating that for every increase of 5 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate increases by 2. The y-intercept is -1, meaning that the graph intersects the y-axis at point (0,-1). Therefore, the equation y=2/5x - 1 accurately represents the graph.

    Write the equation of the line that is parallel to 3y = 6x + 9 and passes through (2,5).

    • Y = 6x + 1

    • Y = 2x + 1

    • Y = 3x - 9

    • Y= 2x + 9

    Correct Answer
    A. Y = 2x + 1
    Explanation
    The equation of a line that is parallel to 3y = 6x + 9 will have the same slope. The given equation has a slope of 6/3 = 2. The line passes through the point (2,5), so we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation to find the equation of the line. Plugging in the values, we get y - 5 = 2(x - 2), which simplifies to y - 5 = 2x - 4. Rearranging the equation, we get y = 2x + 1, which matches the given answer.

    Jeff is 1 year older than twice Mary’s age. The sum of their ages is 16.  How old is Mary?

    • 10

    • 7

    • 5

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    Let Mary's age be x. According to the given information, Jeff's age is 1 year older than twice Mary's age, which can be expressed as 2x + 1. The sum of their ages is 16, so we can form the equation x + 2x + 1 = 16. Simplifying this equation gives us 3x + 1 = 16. Subtracting 1 from both sides gives us 3x = 15. Dividing both sides by 3 gives us x = 5. Therefore, Mary is 5 years old.

    A rectangle has a width 2 feet less than its length. If the area is 48 square feet, what is the width?

    • 2

    • 4

    • 6

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    Let's assume the length of the rectangle is x feet. According to the given information, the width is 2 feet less than the length, so the width would be (x-2) feet. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width, so we can set up the equation x(x-2) = 48. Simplifying this equation, we get x^2 - 2x - 48 = 0. Factoring this quadratic equation, we get (x-8)(x+6) = 0. Since the length cannot be negative, we discard the negative solution x = -6. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 8 feet and the width is 6 feet.

    Two groups of students went to Rio Grande.  One group paid $25 for 2 nacho platters and 5 tacos.  The other group paid $30.90 for 3 nacho platters and 2 tacos.  What is the cost of a nacho platter at Rio Grande?

    • $10.80

    • $8.75

    • $6.50

    • $9.50

    Correct Answer
    A. $9.50
    Explanation
    The cost of a nacho platter at Rio Grande is $9.50. This can be determined by setting up a system of equations based on the information given. Let's assume the cost of a nacho platter is represented by "x". From the first group, we can write the equation 2x + 5t = 25, where "t" represents the cost of a taco. From the second group, we can write the equation 3x + 2t = 30.90. Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that x = $9.50.

    L is the midpoint of segment JM. K is the midpoint of segment LM.  J is located at (8, 10) and M is located at (12, –6). What are the coordinates of K?

    • (-5, 6)

    • (11,-5)

    • (10, 2)

    • (11,-2)

    Correct Answer
    A. (11,-2)
    Explanation
    The coordinates of the midpoint K can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of J and M. The average of the x-coordinates is (8 + 12)/2 = 20/2 = 10. The average of the y-coordinates is (10 + (-6))/2 = 4/2 = 2. Therefore, the coordinates of K are (10, 2).

    The function a(t) = 44,000(1.045)t models Johanna’s annual earnings a, in dollars, t years aftershe starts her job. Which of the following statements is true about Johanna’s salary?

    • Johanna initially earns $48,000 per year.

    • Johanna initially earns $45,980 per year.

    • Johanna’s salary increases by 1.045% per year.

    • Johanna’s salary increases by 4.5% per year.

    Correct Answer
    A. Johanna’s salary increases by 4.5% per year.
    Explanation
    The given function a(t) = 44,000(1.045)t represents Johanna's annual earnings a, in dollars, t years after she starts her job. The base value in the function is $44,000, which represents Johanna's initial salary. The exponent t represents the number of years after she starts her job. The coefficient 1.045 represents a 4.5% increase in her salary per year, as 1.045 is equal to 1 + 0.045. Therefore, the statement "Johanna’s salary increases by 4.5% per year" is true.

    Adam compared the y- intercept of the graph of the function f(x) = 2x + 7 to the y intercept of the graph of the linear function that includes the points in the table below. xg(x) -72-53-34-15 What is the difference when the y- intercept of f(x) is subtracted from the y- intercept of g(x)?

    • 1.5

    • 3

    • -2

    • -1.5

    Correct Answer
    A. -1.5
    Explanation
    The y-intercept of the graph of f(x) = 2x + 7 can be found by setting x = 0 and solving for y. When x = 0, y = 7.

    The y-intercept of the linear function g(x) can be found by looking at the table. When x = -7, y = -72.

    To find the difference, we subtract the y-intercept of f(x) from the y-intercept of g(x): -72 - 7 = -79.

    Therefore, the difference is -79. However, the answer choices provided do not include -79. The closest answer choice is -1.5, which is the negative of 1.5. So, the correct answer is -1.5.
