A file that is 242 megabytes is being downloaded. If the download is 17.1% complete, how many megabytes have been downloaded? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

4.1 megabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

well we use the rule of three

242 megabytes  ------- 100%

x      megabytes  -------- 17.1%

(x megabytes)(100%)=(242 megabytes)(17.1%)

so there have been downloaded 4.1 megabytes

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
