The generic equation of a parabola is:
 f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c
 To verify the equation of the parabola you need three points:
 f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c
 We choose the points:
 (x, y) = (- 1,7)
 7 = a (-1) ^ 2 + b (-1) + c
 7 = a - b + c
 (x, y) = (0,5)
 5 = a (0) ^ 2 + b (0) + c
 5 = c
 (x, y) = (- 2,5)
 5 = a (-2) ^ 2 + b (-2) + c
 5 = 4a - 2b + c
 We solve:
 c = 5
 5 = 4a - 2b + 5
 7 = a - b + 5
 Rewriting
 b = 2a
 a-b = 2
 Substituting:
 a-2a = 2
 a = -2
 b = -4
 The equation of the parabola is:
 f (x) = - 2x ^ 2 -4x + 5

Points U, M, And D are collinear with U between U and D.
zheka24 [161]

The value of x from the given equation is 5/3

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

Since the three points are collinear to U, they are on a straight line which equals 0

Then we have,

UM + UD =  MD

5x+30 + 10x+20 = 3x+80

Collect like terms

5x + 10x + 50 = 3x + 80

15x - 3x = 80 - 50

12x = 30

x = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/3

Thus, the value of x from the given equation is 5/3
