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}}

Tickets for a play were $2 for each child and $4 for each adult. At one showing of the play, one adult brought 4 children and th
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Tickets for a play were $2 for a child and $4 for an adult.

Tickets price for a child= $2

Tickets price for an adult= $4

One adult brought 4 children. This will give a price of:

(1×4) + (2×4) = 4+8 = $12

The remaining adults brought 2 children each.

Let the remaining adults be y. Each adult will spend:

4+(2×2) = 4+4 = $8

Since there are y adults, it will give 8×y = 8y.

8y + 12 = 60

8y = 60-12

8y = 48

y = 48/8 = 6

The remaining adults are 6. Since we had one adult earlier, total adults will be 7.

To get the number of children that went to the play will be:

(P × number of children) + (price× number of adults) = $60

= (2 × children) + (4 × 7) = $60

= (2 × children) + $28 = $60

= (2 × children) = $60 - $28

= (2 × children) = $32

Children= 32/2

Children= 16

There are 16 children at the play.

What is the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Scale factor we use this formula:

Scale factor / K  = Dimension of the new shape ÷ Dimension of the original shape

Substitute any 2 corresponding sides into the formula:

I took 1 and 4:

K = 1 / 4

K = 0.25

I'm not sure which form the question is so I will leave it here.

Hope this helped. Brainliest please?
