Part A:

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that parabola (2) is stretched horizontally by a factor of 13 which is greater than 1. This means that parabola (2) is further away from the x-axis than parabola (1). (i.e. parabola (2) is more 'vertical' than parabola (1).

Therefore, parabola (1) is wider than parabola (2).



Part B:

A parabola open up when the coefficient of the quadratic term (the squared term) is positive and opens down when the coefficient of the quadratic term is negative.

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that the coefficient of the quadratic term is positive for parabola (2) and negative for parabola (1), therefore, the parabola that will open down is parabola (1).



Part C:

For any function, f(x), the graph of the function is moved p places to the left when p is added to x (i.e. f(x + p)) and moves p places to the right when p is subtracted from x (i.e. f(x - p)).

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that in parabola (1), 12 is added to x, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 12 places to the left while in parabola (2), 4 is subtracted from x, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 4 places to the right.

Therefore, the parabola that would be furthest left on the x-axis is parabola (1).



Part D:

For any function, f(x), the graph of the function is moved q places up when q is added to the function (i.e. f(x) + q) and moves q places down when q is subtracted from the function (i.e. f(x) - q).

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that in parabola (2), 1 is added to the function, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 1 place up while in parabola (1), 6 is subtracted from the function, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 6 places down.

Therefore, the parabola that would be highest on the y-axis is parabola (2).

Point-Slope Form Practice
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

y=-x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of straight line in point slope form is given as

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Here

m=-1 \ and \ (x_1, y_1)=(-2, -5)

Therefore,

y+5=-1(x+2)

y=-x-7

If you invest $500 at 4% interest,compounded annually,how much is in the account at the end of six years?
Genrish500 [490]
So, we'll find out how much interest this person will have in 6 years and then add it to the original deposit. To do this we will multiply all the factors:

500 x 0.04 x 6 = 120.
This means they'll have made $120 in interest in 6 years if they don't touch the money. We will add the 120 to the 500.
500+120= 620

They will have a total of $620 in their account after 6 years.
