The sign of the term in x^2 is negative so the graph will open downwards.
when x = 0 y = 1
The coordinates of the vertex are (0,1)
the maximum value of the function is 1
and the axis of symmetry ix x = 0 ( the y axis)
We have to determine the constant in the equation, which shows how Eric can calculate his profit ( y ). He sells each shirt for $4 and he has total expenses: $100 + $10 = $110. So the equation for profit is: y = 4 x - 100. In this equation y is dependent variable, x is independent variable, 4 is coefficient and - 100 is the constant. A constant is a number ( a quantity that does not vary ). Answer: D ) - 110<span>.</span>
The answer is b just take the decimal off and subtract
If you begin with the basic equation of a vertical parabola: y-k=a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex, then that equation, when the vertex is (-3,-2), is
y + 2 = a (x + 3)^2. If we solve this for y, we get
y = a(x+3)^2 - 2. Thus, eliminate answers A and D. That leaves B, since B correctly shows (x+3)^2.
Observe attached picture.
On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft
When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.
We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.
From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:

Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:

We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:

We can solve for A:

Height of flagpole is 48 feet.
