Jeremy and Arnold are working on a project for math class in which they are to identify the quadratic equation that represents a

rain gauge that sits off the ground. Graph each of the equations and then determine which one could represent the position of the rain catcher that sits above the ground. The x-axis represents the ground.
y = x2 + 11x + 24 2. y = –x2 – 6x – 8

Answer:

The parabola generated by the expression :

y=x^2-2x+3

is the one that better represents a rain gauge above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function:

a) y=x^2+11x+24

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: below

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

b) y=-x^2-6x-8

Direction of parabola: branches pointing down

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: above

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

c) y=x^2-2x+3  

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: two units above

So, the parabola depicts a rain gauge off the ground

d) y=x^2+4x+4

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: right on the x-axis

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground (this is sitting on the ground)

e) y=3x^2+21x+30

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis:  below

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

The ordered pair (a,b) satisfies the inequality y < x + 6. which statement is true ?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

True: If you add 6 to a, this will be greater than b.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ordered pair (a,b) satisfies the inequality y < x + 6, then the coordinates of this point satisfy the inequality. Substitute into the inequality x = a and y =b:

b

Check all options:

A. Subtract 6 from b:

b-6

So, if you subtract 6 from b it will be less than a but never equal to a, so this option is false.

B.

bb\\ \\a>b-6

So, a is greater than b - 6, not b. This option is false.

C. If you add 6 to a, then

bb

This option is true.

D. a+6 is greater than b, so it cannot be less than b. This option is false.
