You cannot find x.
Because both phrases are to the power of 0, we know that it is essentially 1*1
So:
(3x - 8)^0 (4x - 23)^0 = 1
The ratio here is 16:436.
The easiest way to solve this is finding how many miles Jim can drive using just 1 gallon. We can do this by dividing both sides of the ratio by 16.
16÷16 is 1
436÷16 is 27.25
so our new ratio is 1 gallon:27.25 miles.
next we simply multiply both sides by 14.
1x14=14
27.25x14=381.5 miles :)
General equation of parabola: y-k = a(x-h)^2
Here the vertex is at (0,0), so we have y-0 = a(x-0)^2, or y = ax^2
All we have to do now is to find the value of the coefficient a.
(1,2) is on the curve. Therefore, 2 = a(1)^2, or 2 = a(1), or a = 2.
The equation of this parabola is y = 2x^2.
