Which of the following could be the equation for a parabola that opens to the left with vertex (-17,2)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
bearhunter [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This parabola is a horizontal one.  

In the more familiar case, vertical parabolas, the applicable equation is:

y - k = a(x - h)^2, where (h, k) is the vertex and 'a' has to do with vertical compression or stretching.

For the horizontal parabola, we adapt the above formula to:

x - h = b(y - k)^2

substituting -17 for x and 2 for k:

x + 17 = b(y - 2)^2

Because the parabola opens to the left, b must be negative.  One of many examples would be:

x + 17 = -2(y - 2)^2, where the choice of 'b' is arbitrary.

harriet is cultivating a strain of bacteria has doubled by the end of every second hour. how many bacteria will harriet have in
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

n2^3 bacteria, n being the initial population.

Step-by-step explanation:

compound growth equation: P=n2^t

P is total population

n is initial population

t is time

since it doubles every second hour, and there are 6 hours

6hours/2hours= doubles 3 times, thats why t=3.

The speed of a car after accelerating for 8 seconds is inversely proportional to its weight. The car weighs 1600 kg and accelera
STatiana [176]

Answer:

With 800 extra kg load: speed = 66.667 km/h

With 2400 extra kg load: speed = 40 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the car W = 1600 kg, and its speed after accelerating for 8 seconds with this weight S = 100 km/h

If we load the car with 800 extra kg, the total weight will be:

W2 = W + 800 = 2400 kg

The relation between the weights is:

W2 / W = 2400 / 1600 = 1.5

If the weight increased 1.5 times, the relation between the speeds will be 1/1.5 (as they are inversely proportional), so:

S2 / S = 1 / 1.5

S2 = S / 1.5 = 66.667 km/h

If we load the car with 2400 extra kg, the total weight will be:

W3 = W + 2400 = 4000 kg

The relation between the weights is:

W3 / W = 4000 / 1600 = 2.5

If the weight increased 2.5 times, the relation between the speeds will be 1/2.5, so:

S3 / S = 1 / 2.5

S3 = S / 2.5 = 40 km/h
