the answer for this question is x=4
I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
Answer:
g(x) = x^2 -6x +9
Step-by-step explanation:
A function f(x) translated right h units and up k units will become ...
g(x) = f(x -h) +k
You want the function f(x) = x^2 to be translated right h=3 units, so it will become ...
g(x) = f(x -3) = (x -3)^2
g(x) = x^2 -6x +9
Answer:
Amanda's box volume is 70 cm^3 greater than Mary's
Step-by-step explanation:
Find and then compare the volumes of the two boxes:
Amanda's: 10*10*13.5 cm^3 = 1350 cm^3
Mary's: 8*8*20 = 1280 cm^3
Amanda's box volume is 70 cm^3 greater than Mary's.
