Two cities on a map is 7.5 centimeters. The map is 1 centimeter represents 30 kilometers. What is the distance between the cities in kilometers?

225 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

7.5 times 30 equals 225

up

step-by-step explanation:

the orientation of the parabolas can easily be found by analysing the power of x and y and their signs. if x is squared , parabola opens up and also if its coefficient is negative it opens down. if y is squared , the parabola opens right and also if its coefficient is negative it opens left. however in order to do the above analysis our equation must be in standard form .

our parabola is

which is not standard form of any parabola . hence we square on both hand side and convert it into standard form.

hence we see that x is squared and its coefficient is non negative . there for it opens up.

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.
