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).

a bird of species a when diving can travel four times as fast as a bird of species b top speed if the total speeds of these two
weeeeeb [17]
X will be the speed of species b and 4x will be the speed of species a:

x + 4x = 180
5x = 180
x = 180 / 5
x = 36 m/h

If species b has a speed of 36 m/h, the speed of species a is 4 times that:

4 x 36 = 144 m/h.


Answer:

\boxed {\bf A~=~36~m/h~and~B~=~144~m/h}


Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Question 3 Please. I'm really stuck :(
Stells [14]
Let ∠RTS=∠RST = a (say)
 ∠QUA=∠QSU= b(say)
then we know , at point S, a+40+b=180. so, a+b=140 we'll use this later.

consider trianglePQR, ∠P+∠Q+∠R=180
i.e.P+(180-2b)+(180-2a)=180
P+180+180-2(a+b)=180 ⇒P+180-2(a+b)=0 ⇒P=2(140)- 180=280-180=100
hence,answer is E

Given the similarity statement<br> AJKL ANOP, what's the<br> corresponding side of ON ?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

ON = KJ

Step-by-step explanation:

JKL = NOP

We know the angles match

<J = <N

<K = <O

< L = <P

And we know

JK = NO

KL =  OP

JL = NP

We are looking for ON = KJ
