Determine the equation of each of the following parabolas

Mathematics
1 answer:
nata0808 [166]3 years ago
4 0

Try this solution with a short explanation:

a) y=ax²+5; ⇒ substitution (4;0): 16a+5=0; ⇒ a= -5/16.

Answer: <u>y= -5/16 x²+5</u>;

b)<u> y=x²</u>;

c) y=ax(x+7); ⇒ substitution (4;4): 4a(4+7)=4; ⇒a=1/11.

Answer: <u>y= 1/11 x²+ 7/11 x</u>;

d) y=a(x-1)(x-3); ⇒substitution (0;3): (-1)*(-3)*a=3; ⇒a=1.

Answer: <u>y=x²-4x+3</u>;

e) y=a(x-1)(x+3); ⇒ substitution (-1;5): (-2)*2*a=5; ⇒ a= -5/4.

Answer: <u>y= -5/4 x² -5/2 x +15/4</u>;

f) y=ax²+bx+c; ⇒ substitution (2;2): 4a+2b+6=2 or 2a+b= -2 (the I-st equation of the system);

the x-coordinate of the vertex: -b/2a=2; ⇒ b= -4a (the II-d equation of the system);

\left \{ {{2a+b=-2} \atop {b=-4a}} \right. \ => \ \left \{ {{a=1} \atop {b=-4}} \right.

Answer: <u>y=x²-4x+6.</u>

Ashley wants to find out how much money she has in her piggy bank. She has x number of quarters and y number of dimes and says t
patriot [66]
Amount from dimes would be: 0.1y
Amount from quarters = 0.25x

So, total amount = 0.25x + 0.1y

So, she is not correct

Hope this helps!

I’m not sure what this is asking me to do?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 -2 = 17

You need find what number that need to be in the blank spot

17 + 2 = 19

19 - 2 = 17

In the second question u need to find equal number

17 - 3 = 16 - 2

14             14

They need to be equal - =

19 - 6 = 18 - 5

13             13

Part 1
svetlana [45]

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!

Plz help me!!!<br><br> find the value of {3-2(3-4)^3}^3
maxonik [38]

Answer:

-226,981

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how you do it.

First, you do 3-2 which is 1.

Then, you do 3-4 to the 3rd power which is -61.

After, you do 1*-61 because there are parenthesis, which equals -61.

Then, you do -61, which is the total of everything in parenthesis, and do it times the power of 3 to get -226,981.

Hope it helps!!^_^
