Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The general formula for the vertex of a parabola is

y = a(x - b) + c

What you know from the vertex is the formula describes b and c and the y intercept gives you the information to solve for a.

Solution

y = a(x - 2)^2 - 1 If you graph this, the vertex should be at (2,-1). I'll upload the graph at the end.

Now we need to solve for a

x = 0

y = 5

5 = a(0 - 2)^2 - 1

5 = a(4) - 1              Add 1 to both sides.

6 = a(4)                 Divide by 4

6/4 = a 4/4           Switch

a = 3/2

Answer

y = 3/2 (x - 2)^2 - 1

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{y=a(x- h)^2+ k}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{2}{ h},\stackrel{-1}{ k}) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=2\\ k=-1 \end{cases}\implies y=a(x-2)^2-1 \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} y=0\\ x=5 \end{cases}\implies 0=a(5-2)^2-1\implies 1=9a \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{9}=a\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{9}(x-2)^2-1}


now, let's expand the squared term to get the standard form of the quadratic.


\bf y=\cfrac{1}{9}(x-2)^2-1\implies y=\cfrac{1}{9}(x^2-4x+4)-1 \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{9}x^2-\cfrac{4}{9}x+\cfrac{4}{9}-1\implies \stackrel{its~coefficient}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{\cfrac{1}{9}}x^2-\cfrac{4}{9}x-\cfrac{5}{9}}

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 3, negative 3) and (0, 3). What is the slope of the line on the grap
NARA [144]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope between two points by using

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (3 - -3)/(0 - -3)

   = (3+3)/(0+3)

   = 6/3

   =2

If 9a+6b+4c=7, what is -24b-16c-36a
zheka24 [161]
Rearrange the 2nd equation

-36a-24b-16c

divide the whole thing by 4 and you'll get
-9a-6b-4c

you'll realize it looks the same as your first equation except that all the + has become minus so the answer will be -7 instead for your new equation
-9a-6b-4c=-7

multiply the whole thing by 4 and you'll get
-36a-24b-16c = -28

so the answer you want is -28
