Which way does the parabola open​

Mathematics

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>our parabola open </u><u>downward</u><u> and therefore a is negative</u>

<h2> Explanation:</h2>

As value of a changes from positive to negative or from negative to positive, the direction of opening changes.  For  negative values of a we got negative parabolas that open downward.  As the original formula y = x^2 we see that x^2 will always be positive because when you square a number it always gives positive value. Therefore  the direction for which it will open, depends on  value of a.

Whats the distance between {-4 , 12} and {18 , 12}
belka [17]
You would need to use the distance formula.
Distance = Sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)
Plug in your numbers
Distance = Sqrt((12+4)^2+(12-18)^2)
Distance = 17.09

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

a = - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

- \frac{2}{3} a - 6 = 12 ( add 6 to both sides )

- \frac{2}{3} a = 18 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 2a = 54 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a = - 27
