This type of parabola opens either to the left or to the right. The negative makes it open to the left.
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago

Answer:

The given parabola opens to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

The equation of the parabola is x=ay^2

If in the parabola,

<em>1. If 'a' is positive, then the parabola opens upwards or right.</em>

<em>2.</em><em> If 'a' is negative, then the parabola opens downwards or left.</em>

Moreover,

<em>3. If x is squared, then the parabola opens upwards or downwards.</em>

<em>4. </em><em>If y is squared, then the parabola opens left or right.</em>

Now, as we are given the parabola having y^2 and 'a' is negative.

Thus, from the points 4 and 2, we get,

The given parabola opens to the left.

-2(x - 8) + 4x = -12
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4 x - 2 (x - 8) = -12

-2 (x - 8) = 16 - 2 x:

4 x + 16 - 2 x = -12

4 x - 2 x = 2 x:

2 x + 16 = -12

Subtract 16 from both sides:

2 x + (16 - 16) = -16 - 12

16 - 16 = 0:

2 x = -16 - 12

-16 - 12 = -28:

2 x = -28

Divide both sides of 2 x = -28 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-28)/2

2/2 = 1:

x = (-28)/2

The gcd of -28 and 2 is 2, so (-28)/2 = (2 (-14))/(2×1) = 2/2×-14 = -14:

Answer:  x = -14

In a fireplace, about 3/4 of an 18 inch log will burn in 1/3 of an hour. How many hours will it take to burn 2 1/2 logs
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;\stackrel{burned}{log}&\stackrel{time}{hr}\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;\frac{3}{4}&\frac{1}{3}\\\\&#10;2\frac{1}{2}&h&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{2\frac{1}{2}}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{h}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{h}{1}}

\bf \cfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{h}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{2}{5}=\cfrac{1}{3h}\implies \cfrac{6}{20}=\cfrac{1}{3h}\implies 6\cdot 3h=20\cdot 1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;18h=20\implies h=\cfrac{20}{18}\implies h=\cfrac{10}{9}\implies h=1\frac{1}{9}

about 1 hour and 6 minutes with 36 seconds.

The distance an object falls when dropped from a tower varies directly as the square of the time it falls. If the object falls 1
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

the object will fall 792 feet in 17 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

first you can do 144 multiplied by 5 because that would be 15 of those seconds next you would do 144 divided by 2 because you only need 2 seconds to reach 17 your answer would be 72 then you would do 720+72=792 so it would fall 792ft in 17 seconds
