Solve for the coefficient a in the vertex form for the parabola in Daredevil Danny’s practice jump using key aspects from step 1. As you solve for the coefficient, explain each step of the process in detail.

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. he can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. he buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. the walnuts cost $6 per pound. he uses the equation to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. he solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy. answer- b tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6. just took the test

17. a researcher measures three variables, x, y, and z for each individual in a sample of n = 20. the pearson correlations for this sample are rxy = 0.6, rxz = 0.4, and ryz = 0.7. a. find the partial correlation between x and y, holding z constant. b. find the partial correlation between x and z, holding y constant. (hint: simply switch the labels for the variables y and z to correspond with the labels in the equation.) gravetter, frederick j. statistics for the behavioral sciences (p. 526). cengage learning. kindle edition.

I’m stuck on this equation, anyone got the answer?
