Answer:y=-5(x+11)^2 -28

Step-by-step explanation: Okay think about what you know about translations and transformations of parent functions. In this case, the parent function is x2. So what now?

First, the problem states that the parabola opens DOWN. This means that you should look for a negative leading coefficient. This narrows your options down to C or D. (-5 is the leading coefficient)

Now starting with the x2, the vertex would be at (0,0), but in this problem it is at (-11,-28). That means it was TRANSLATED 11 spots in the negative x-direction and 28 spots in the negative y-direction.

Look at your options, when a number is being added directly unto the x variable, such as in answer C, it moves in the negative x-direction. This tells you that C has to be your answer.

I hope that helps!

kondaur [170]

There are 4 possibilities out of the 36 ways the dice can land:

... (3, 3), (3, 6), (6, 3), (6, 6)

Hence, the probability of an outcome in this set is 4/36 = 1/9.

If cos θ = .62 and if 0<θ<90 what is the approximate value of sin θ to the nearest hundredth

Deffense [45]

$\cos\Theta=0.62\\\\\text{Use:}\ \sin^2\alpha+\cos^2\alpha=1\\\\\sin^2\Theta+(0.62)^2=1\\\\\sin^2\Theta+0.3844=1\ \ \ |-0.3844\\\\\sin^2\Theta=0.6156\to\sin\Theta=\pm\sqrt{0.6156}\\\\\sin\Theta_1\approx-0.78\ \vee\ \sin\Theta\approx0.78\\\\\Theta\in(0^o;\ 90^o),\ therefore\ \sin\Theta \ \textgreater \ 0\to\boxed{\sin\Theta\approx0.78}$

△WXY~△GEF.

What is the similarity ratio of △WXY to △GEF?

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or whole number.

If two triangles are similar, their similarity ratio is the ratio between a side length in the first triangle and the corresponding side length in the second triangle.

solve

Look at the triangles.

The similarity ratio of △WXY to △GEF is the ratio between a side length in △WXY and the corresponding side length in △GEF. So, the similarity ratio is

=3.
