Y1 is the simplest parabola. Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4). This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.
y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge. We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).
Let's try this: assume that the general equation for a parabola is
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex. Subst. the known values,
-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2. Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.
The equation of parabola y4 is y+4 = (1/4)x^2
Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or
4y = x^2-16, or y = (1/4)x - 4. Take your pick! Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

Answer:
i only understand part A:
a) Yes, the more time the plant spend in sunlight, the taller it grows. for example, the plant that spend no time in the sun only grows to 4cm while the plant that spent 9 hours in the sun grew to 31
1st :The angle of depression 30° = the angle of elevation (from the truck to the height of the building.
2nd :
cos 30° = (adjacent side)/(hypotenuse)
cos 30° = x/100, but cos 30°= (√3)/2
(√3)/2 = x/100 and x = (100√3)/2
and x = (50.√3) = 86.60 m
