For a parabola if
a) Squared term is x
Parabola either opens up or down.
Positive coefficient means upward opening and negative coefficient means downward opening
b) Squared term is y
Parabola either opens right or left
Positive coefficient means rightwards opening and negative coefficient means leftwards opening
In the given question, since the squared term is y and coefficient is negative, the parabola will open towards left.
So correct answer is option B
Answer:
It is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plug 4 in for x, you get -2*4+5=13. This simplifies to: -8+5=13. This is an untrue statement since -8+5 is actually -3, not 13.
Hope this is helpful! :)
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
To polygons are said to be similar if all the corresponding angles of given polygons are equal.
In the given figure, it can be seen that in quadrilateral FSHB and quadrilateral KTWJ all the corresponding angles are equal.
∠F=∠K
∠S=∠T
∠H=∠W
∠B=∠J
Therefore, The given polygons are similar.
Hence,
12 ft shadow / 4 ft shadow = 3
16.5 ft / 3 = 5.5 ft
The zookeeper is 5.5 feet tall
When you know your equation f(x) and they want you to find f(-4), it means that they want to know what f(x) is worth when x=-4
Therefore, you only need to plug in you x in the equation
f(x)=5x-2
f(-4)=5(-4)-2
=-20-2
=-22 (B)
