Write the equation in vertex form for the parabola with vertex ( 0, - 4 ) and focus ( 0, - 5 ) .

1 answer:

4 0

This parabola is a vertical one, symmetrical about the y-axis. It opens DOWN. We know that because the focus is beneath the vertex.

We need to write this equation in the form y-k = 4p(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex. p represents the distance between the vertex and the focus, and is
|-4-(-5)|, or 1.

Thus, y-(-4) = 4(1)(x-0)^2, or y+4 = 4x^2.

Can anyone help with these maths questions about transformations please?

A. Reflection over y = 2

B. Reflection over y axis, reflection over y = 1

C. I'm guessing you just have to draw this one, just put the center on (2,0) and enlarge it by the scale factor

If 30 buses can carry 1,500 people, how many people can 5 buses carry? A 200 © 500 B 250 D 750

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

$\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}$

$\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }$

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

$30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500$
