How to determine the direction a parabola opens

Mathematics
1 answer:
kozerog [31]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Upward or Downward

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is the graph of a quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c. The graphs below depict two typical parabolas:

For clarity, we indicate their x-intercepts with red dots, their y-intercepts with pink dots, and the vertex of each parabola with a green dot:

The first parabola (a U shape) opens vertically, whereas the second parabola opens downwards (is an upside down U shape).

Given the function y = ax2 + bx + c, write the following:

  • <em>If an is greater than zero (positive), the parabola widens upward.</em>
  • <em>If the value is 0 (negative), the parabola expands downward.</em>

Time = t = ?
Distance 1 = d1 = 224 miles
Distance 2 = d2 = 175 miles
speed1 = v1 = d1/t
speed2 = v2 = d2/t
Also, speed 1 = 14 + v2 (Given in the data)
OR speed 1 = 14 + d2/t
speed 1 = 14 + 175/t
224/t = 14 + 175/t
multiplying both sides (each term) by "t" we get
224 = 14t +175
OR 14t = 49
t = 3.5 hours
now, speed of 1st car = 224 miles / 3.5 hours
= 64 miles / hour
and speed of 2nd car = 175 miles / 3.5 hours
= 50 miles/ hour
