The parabola with equation $y=ax^2+bx+c$ is graphed below:

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$m-n=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of using the standard form, we can use the vertex form of a quadratic equation:

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$

Where a is the leading coefficient, and (h, k) is our vertex.

Our vertex point is at (2, -4). So, let’s substitute 2 for h and -4 for k:

$f(x)=a(x-2)^2-4$

Now, we need to determine a.

We know that it passes through the point (4, 12). So, when x is 4, y must be 12. In other words:

$12=a((4)-2)^2-4$

Solve for a. Subtract within the parentheses:

$12=a(2)^2-4$

Add 4 to both sides:

$16=a(2)^2$

Square:

$16=4a$

Solve:

$a=4$

Thererfore, the value of a is 4.

So, our function is:

$f(x)=4(x-2)^2-4$

Now, let’s find our roots. Set the equation to 0 and solve for x:

$0=4(x-2)^2-4$

$4=4(x-2)^2\\1=(x-2)^2\\x-2=\pm1 \\ x=2\pm1 \\ x=3\text{ or } 1$

So, our roots are 1 and 3.

The greater root is 3 and the lesser root is 1.

Therefore, m-n, where m>n, is 3-1 or 2.

Our final answer is 2.

Points X and Z are on a number line, and point Y partitions

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The coordinate of $Z$ is 13.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following information:

$\frac{XY}{XZ} = \frac{5}{12}$ (1)

$\frac{YZ}{XZ} = \frac{7}{12}$ (2)

$X = 0.4$ (3)

$Y = 5.8$ (4)

From (2), we have the following expression:

$YZ = \frac{7}{12}\cdot XZ$

$Y-Z =\frac{7}{12}\cdot (X-Z)$

$Y - Z = \frac{7}{12}\cdot X -\frac{7}{12}\cdot Z$

$Y-\frac{7}{12}\cdot X = Z-\frac{7}{12}\cdot Z$

$\frac{5}{12}\cdot Z = Y-\frac{7}{12}\cdot X$

$5\cdot Z = 12\cdot Y-7\cdot X$

$Z = \frac{12}{5}\cdot Y-\frac{7}{5}\cdot X$ (5)

If we know that $Y = 5.8$ and $X = 0.4$ , then the coordinate of $Z$ is:

$Z = \frac{12}{5}\cdot (5.8)-\frac{7}{5}\cdot (0.4)$

$Z = 13.36$

The coordinate of $Z$ is 13.36.

Which equation is equivalent to 2x+4a=10 A. X= 5/4a B.5+2a C. X=10-4a D. X=5-2a

kifflom [539]

Alright, so we start off my subtracting 4a from both sides, separating the x and getting 10-4a=2x. Next, we divide both sides by 2, getting that 5-2a=X
