Answer:

The parabola's axis of symmetry is x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola general equation:

y = a*(x - r1)*(x - r2)

Equation given:

y = (-1/4)*(x + 2)*(x + 10)

a = -1/4

r1 = -2

r2 = -10

To check if the parabola passes through the point (2, 10) it is necessary to replace x = 2 and check the y-value, as follows:

y = (-1/4)*(2+ 2)*(2 + 10) = -12

Then, point (2, 10) is not included in the parabola.

If a > 0 then the parabola opens upward; if a < 0 then the parabola opens downward. Then, the parabola opens downward

Axis of symmetry:

h = (r1 + r2)/2

h = (-2 + -10)/2 = -6

Then, The parabola's axis of symmetry is x = -6

To find Parabola's vertex, replace with the axis of symmetry:

y = (-1/4)*(-6 + 2)*(-6 + 10) = 4

Therefore, the parabola has a vertex at (-6, 4)

Y = 2x^2
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

y = 2x^2 is a parabola opening up with it's vertex at (0,0)... y=3x^2 -4 is also a parabola opening up, but it is 'thinner' in that it rises in y faster and it's vertex is at (0,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

all equations of the type y = ax^2 + b are parabolas centered on the y-axis, soo the vertex is always on (0,b)

If a is positive then the parabola opens up,

the bigger a is, the 'thinner' the graph is, i.e. the faster the graph rises

the value of b determines the location of the vertex, if b is added, then the vertex rises over the x-axis, if b is subtracted then the vertex is below the x-axis
