length of rope measures 8 3/4 km. If a piece of rope measuring 2 1/2 km was cut off, what length of rope remained? *​

4 m divided by 8 = 4/8 m = 1/2 m

1 m = 100 cm, so 1/2 m = 50 cm

Each piece will be 1/2 m long or 50 cm long.

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
