Complete the following table using the equation: y = -2x²
1 answer:
The parabola is a downward parabola which is passing through origin and leading coefficient of the negative 2.
<h3>What is the parabola?</h3>It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.
The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h, k), is given by:
y = a(x – h)² + k
where a is the leading coefficient.
The equation of the parabola will be
y = -x²
The given parabola is a downward parabola which is passing through origin and leading coefficient of the negative 2.
The graph of the function is given below.

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>:
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>:
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:
⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
<u></u>
