<span>The parabola opens upward and is symmetric to the y-axis. Its general form is: . y \;=\;ax^2 + c Its y-intercept is (0, 10) . . . Hence: . y \;=\;ax^2 + 10 It passes through (200, 100). We have: . 100 \:=\:a\cdot200^2 + 10 \quad\Rightarrow\quad a \:=\:\frac{9}{4000} Hence: . y \;=\;\tfrac{9}{4000}x^2 + 10 When x = \pm50,\;\;y \:=\:\tfrac{9}{4000}(50^2) + 10 \:=\:\frac{125}{8} Therefore, 50 feet from the center, the cable is 15\tfrac{5}{8} feet high.</span>

in the function y-1=1/2(x-6)^2 what effect does the number 6 have on the graph, as compared to the graph y=x^2
butalik [34]

Answer: The graph is shifted 6 units to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that:

When f(x-k), then the function is shifted "k" units to the right.

Knowing this and given the quadratic parent function y=x^2 and the function y-1=\frac{1}{2}(x-6)^2, you can observe that one of the transformations is the following:

f(x-k)

Where:

k=6

Therefore, you can notice that the effect is:

The graph is shifted 6 units to the right.

A line is defined by the equation 2 x + y = 4. Which shows the graph of this line?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

divide by 4

\frac{x}{2} +\frac{y}{4} =1\\x-intercept=2\\y-intercept=4\\draw~ a~ line~ through~ (2,0)~ and ~(0,4)

it is the reqd. graph.

John Street Barber Shop pays $25 per month for water for the first 8,000 gallons and $3.50 per thousand gallons above 8,000. Cal
Blizzard [7]
For this case, the first thing to do is find the equation of the line in order to model the problem mathematically.
 Using Excel (see attached image) we find that the equation of the line is:
 y = 0.0035x - 3

 We evaluate for:

 For x = 7000:
 y = 0.0035 * (7000) - 3
 y = 21.5 $

 For x = 10000
 y = 0.0035 * (10000) - 3
 y = 32 $

 For x = 13000
 y = 0.0035 * (13000) - 3
 y = 42.5 $

 Answer:
 The total water cost when the barber shop uses 7,000 gallons, 10,000 gallons, and 13,000 gallons is:
 21.5 $, 32 $, 42.5 $, respectively.
