Consider the diagram of the problem.

Let the vertex be on the y axis, exactly, at the point (0, 40)

Another point of this parabola is (200, 100), as can be checked from the figure.

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is :

y=a(x-h)^{2}+k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola, 

replacing (h, k) with (0, 40), we have:

y=ax^{2}+40

to find a, we substitute (x, y) with (200, 100):

100=a200^{2}+40

40,000a=60

a=60/40,000=3/(2,000)

So, the equation of the parabola is y= \frac{3}{2000} x^{2}+40

Choose all options that are expressions 6+5w 3-16v 4v+1 2v=0 18=v 7-v
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The expressions here are;

6 + 5w

3-16v

4v+ 1

7-v

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, out of the given set, we want to choose all options that are expression.

To do this, we should understand that expressions do not have the equality sign like equations

So expressions are those in the set in which we do not have an equality sign

The right answer is thus;

6 + 5w

3-16v

4v + 1

7-v
