Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph represents p(x) = |x|
To graph r(x) and q(x), pick any values of x to graph (I'd pick the numbers on the x- scales, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, and 6)
As for explaining them, I'm sure something like "multiply the absolute value of x by -1/2" for describing q(x) is an acceptable answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry.
The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix.
The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is
(x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k)
the equation can be manipulated to
y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k
hope it helps
I believe C. Measuring the length from one end of the field tot he other would be the most reasonable answer, because Area = Length x Width
