I am sketching parabolas and my book is telling me that I need only two points. But I don't know how I am meant to sketch the pa

rabola accurately with only two points. Are parabolas just supposed to be drawn roughly or do we have to find all the points and then sketch it?

Answer:

In order to sketch a parabola, one will typically use the y-intercept, the x-intercepts, and the vertex.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to sketch a parabola, one will typically use the given equation in standard form, y = ax^2 + bx + c, and:

  • The y-intercept – the point where the parabola crosses the vertical axis – by substituting 0 for all <em>x</em> values in the given equation and solving for <em>y</em>.
  • The x-intercepts – the points where the parabola crosses the horizontal axis – by setting the given equation equal to 0 (i.e., <em>y</em> = 0) and finding the factors (or roots).
  • The vertex – the point of symmetry where the parabola changes direction and curves up or down – by using x=\frac{-b}{2a} to find the x-coordinate then plugging that value into the given equation to find the y-coordinate.

Three times the sum of a number and 4 is the same as 18 more than the number
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
First, figure out what you do and don't know....
You do know that 3 times the sum of a number and 4 is 18 more than the number....you don't know the number so you make it the variable x 
now take 3 times the sum of a number and 4 and make that an expression 3x+4 this expression is the same or equal to the sum of x and 18 x+18
3x+4=x+18
2x+4=18
2x=14
x=7
hope this helped :)

What is -0.6(r+0.2) = 1.8 ???
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

r = -3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.6(r+0.2) = 1.8

Divide by -.6

-0.6/-.6(r+0.2) = 1.8/-.6

r+.2 = -3

Subtract .2 from each side

r+.2-.2 = -3-.2

r = -3.2
