Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:
Combine like terms:
Add:
Add 16 to both sides:
Divide both sides by 8:
So, our answer is 24.5 :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well we can start by seeing if the parabola is the same width by comparing it to its parent function ( y = x^2 )
In y = x^2 the 2nd lowest point is just up 1 and right 1 away from the vertex.
This is not true for our parabola.
So we can widen it by to the desidered width by making the x^2 into a .5x^2.
So far we’ve got y = .5x^2
Now the parabola y intercept is at -5.
So we can add a -5 into the equation making it.
y = .5x^2 - 5
Now for the x value.
So we can find the x value by seeing how far away the parabola is from from the y axis.
So the x value is -2x.
So the full equation is
