Answer: Choice D) The h(x) values -4, -2, 2, 4, and 6
Explanation:
The range is the set of all possible y outputs, or h(x) outputs.
We simply list the y coordinate of each blue point shown on the graph.
We cannot say something like -4 ≤ h(x) ≤ 6 because there are gaps where the function is not defined. For instance, h(x) = 0 is not possible, so 0 is not in the range. Put another way: there is no point with y coordinate 0 on the graph, so that's why 0 is not part of the range.
Step-by-step explanation:

According to this trigonometric function, −C gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL:

NOTE: Sometimes, your vertical shift might tell you to shift your graph below or above the <em>midline</em> where the amplitude is.

Answer:
y = (-1/19)(x - 8)² + 1521/76
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola moves in such a way that it's distance from it's focus and directrix are always equal.
Now, we are given that directrix is y = 9.75 and focus is at (8, 0.25). Focus can be rewritten as (8, ¼) and directrix can be rewritten as y = 39/4
If we consider a point with the coordinates (x, y), it means the distance from this point to the focus is;
√((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²)
Distance from that point to the directrix is; (y - 39/4)
Thus;
√((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²) = (y - 39/4)
Taking the square of both sides gives;
((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²) = (y - 39/4)²
(x - 8)² + y² - ½y + 1/16 = y² - (39/2)y + (39/4)²
Simplifying this gives;
(x - 8)² - (39/4)² = (½ - 39/2)y
(x - 8)² - 1521/4 = -19y
(x - 8)² - 1521/4 = -19y
Divide both sides by -19 to get;
y = (-1/19)(x - 8)² + 1521/76
