To find the vertex of the parabola given by the equation \( y = -3x^2 + 36x - 120 \), we can use the formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex of a parabola in the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), which is given by:

\[ x = -\frac{b}{2a} \]

Here, \( a = -3 \) and \( b = 36 \).

Plugging in the values:

\[ x = -\frac{36}{2(-3)} = -\frac{36}{-6} = 6 \]

Now that we have the x-coordinate, we can find the y-coordinate by substituting \( x = 6 \) back into the original equation:

\[ y = -3(6)^2 + 36(6) - 120 \] \[ y = -3(36) + 216 - 120 \] \[ y = -108 + 216 - 120 \] \[ y = 108 - 120 = -12 \]

Thus, the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola are:

\[ \boxed{(6, -12)} \]

To determine which of the given ordered pairs is a solution to the equation \( 3x - 8 = -4y \), we'll substitute each pair into the equation and see if it holds true.

  1. For the pair \( (-1, 1) \): \[ 3(-1) - 8 = -4(1) \] \[ -3 - 8 = -4 \] \[ -11 \neq -4 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

  2. For the pair \( (0, 2) \): \[ 3(0) - 8 = -4(2) \] \[ -8 = -8 \quad \text{(Solution)} \]

  3. For the pair \( (1, 1) \): \[ 3(1) - 8 = -4(1) \] \[ 3 - 8 = -4 \] \[ -5 \neq -4 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

  4. For the pair \( (0, -2) \): \[ 3(0) - 8 = -4(-2) \] \[ -8 = 8 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

The only ordered pair that satisfies the equation \( 3x - 8 = -4y \) is:

\[ (0, 2) \]

Thus, the correct answer is \( (0, 2) \).

Peter believes (−4,7)
is a solution.

To determine which of the given ordered pairs is a solution to the equation \( 1.5x - 2y = 8 \), we will substitute each pair into the equation and check if it holds true.

  1. For Sam's pair \( (-4, -7) \): \[ 1.5(-4) - 2(-7) = 8 \] \[ -6 + 14 = 8 \] \[ 8 = 8 \quad \text{(This is a solution.)} \]

  2. For Mary's pair \( (4, -7) \): \[ 1.5(4) - 2(-7) = 8 \] \[ 6 + 14 = 8 \] \[ 20 \neq 8 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

  3. For Fiona's pair \( (4, 7) \): \[ 1.5(4) - 2(7) = 8 \] \[ 6 - 14 = 8 \] \[ -8 \neq 8 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

  4. For Peter's pair \( (-4, 7) \): \[ 1.5(-4) - 2(7) = 8 \] \[ -6 - 14 = 8 \] \[ -20 \neq 8 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

Thus, the only correct solution is from Sam:

\[ (-4, -7) \]

So the answer is \( \text{Sam believes } (-4, -7) \text{ is a solution.} \)

To determine which of the given ordered pairs is part of the solution set for the equation \( y = 4x + 2 \), we will substitute \( x \) from each pair into the equation and check if the resulting \( y \) matches the \( y \) in the ordered pairs.

  1. For the pair \( (3, 7) \): \[ y = 4(3) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 \] \[ 7 \neq 14 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

  2. For the pair \( (3, 45) \): \[ y = 4(3) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 \] \[ 45 \neq 14 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

  3. For the pair \( (3, 14) \): \[ y = 4(3) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 \] \[ 14 = 14 \quad \text{(This is a solution.)} \]

  4. For the pair \( (3, 12) \): \[ y = 4(3) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 \] \[ 12 \neq 14 \quad \text{(Not a solution)} \]

The only ordered pair that is part of the solution set for the equation \( y = 4x + 2 \) is:

\[ (3, 14) \]

Thus, the correct option is \( (3, 14) \).
