Answer:
y = -(x -3)^2 +2
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
where the vertex is (h, k) and the value 'a' is a vertical scale factor.
The value of 'a' can be found by looking at the y-value of points ±1 either side of the vertex relative to the vertex. Here, the vertex y-value is +2 at x=3, and either side goes down 1 unit (to y=1) for 1 unit to the right or left. So, a = -1.
Using the values we've read from the graph for the vertex (h, k) = (3, 2) and the scale factor a = -1, we can write the equation as ...
y = -(x -3)^2 +2
Answer:
Explained
Step-by-step explanation:
The trunk of a tree grows in two different ways, first in height and second in diameter.Usually tree grows one ring per year in diameter. So, counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree. Both height and diameter growth does not occur at the same rate. Tree grows more in height than in their diameter. Mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.
Water oak gains 24 inches in height every year and 1.5 inch growth in diameter annually, meaning if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly. So a water oak tree needs only 8 months to grow 1 inch in diameter.
Do you have an example of what the "Constant of proportionality" would be for a different question?
The number that you are trying to find is 5
