From the function given:
y=x^2-5
this can be written as:
y=x^2+0x-5
writing in vertex form we get:
y=(x-h)^2+k
where: (h,k) is the vertex
y=(x-0)^2-5
thus the vertex is at (0,-5)
the parent function is y=x^2, thus the graph of the parent function is First graph

Is x+y+1=0 a tangent of both y^2=4x and x^2=4y parabolas?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects each parabola in one point, so is tangent to both.

For the first parabola, the point of intersection is ...

y^2 = 4(-y-1)

y^2 +4y +4 = 0

(y+2)^2 = 0

y = -2 . . . . . . . . one solution only

x = -(-2)-1 = 1

The point of intersection is (1, -2).

For the second parabola, the equation is the same, but with x and y interchanged:

x^2 = 4(-x-1)

(x +2)^2 = 0

x = -2, y = 1 . . . . . one point of intersection only

___

If the line is not parallel to the axis of symmetry, it is tangent if there is only one point of intersection. Here the line x+y+1=0 is tangent to both y^2=4x and x^2=4y.

_____

Another way to consider this is to look at the two parabolas as mirror images of each other across the line y=x. The given line is perpendicular to that line of reflection, so if it is tangent to one parabola, it is tangent to both.

"the quotient of a number and 4"

ladessa [460]

Answer:

a number divided by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a number = n (it's a variable used in equations.)

so n over 4, or n divided by 4

A jar contains six blue marbles and five red marbles. Suppose you choose a marble at random, and do not replace it. Then you ch

TEA [102]

The jar has 6+5=11 marbles.

We have to find the probability of the following event:

1.We pick a marble from a jar that has 11 marbles in total, 5 of them are red

2.We pick a marble from a jar that has now 10 marbles in total, 4 of them are red (because in the previous step we picked a red marble and did not put it back in the jar)

The probability of the first event is:

$P_1=\frac{5}{11}$
