Suppose a parabola has an axis of symmetry at x = -8 , a maximum height of 2, and passes through the point (-7, -1). write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

Acamper leaves camp on a kayak and travels 50 miles east on a river, then he ties his kayak to the bank and travels 20 miles north on a bicycle. this trip can be plotted on the coordinate plane, where the camp is the point (0, 0). the distant of the camper to the camp can be found using the distance formula. which other formula can he use? a) 502 - 202 b) 502 + 202 c) 502 - 202 d) 502 + 202

How many different ways can you make change for $.50 using only nickels, dimes, and quarters?

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
