A shark's depth in meters relative to sea level over time in minutes, x, is modeled as a parabola. At time 1 minute the shark is swimming upwards and is at a depth of 7 meters. The shark continues to swim toward the surface for another minute and then turns and begins to swim downwards and returns to a depth of 7 meters at time 3 minutes. What is the axis of symmetry of the graph of the parabola?

step-by-step explanation:

duck you

answer: - (a)

(b) 88 seats

step-by-step explanation:

given: in an auditorium, there are 22 seats in the first row and 28 seats in the second row.

thus first term=

second term=

the number of seats in a row continues to increase by 6 with each additional row.

⇒d= 6

a) given formula :

b)   let the number of seats (n) = 12

substitute n=12 in the explicit rule formed in (a)

∴there are 88 seats in 12 rows.
