Answer: 2/5>1/3

Step-by-step explanation: To make this easier, convert both to fifteenths.

To do this for 2/5, divide 15 by 5 to get 3. Now multiply both 2 and 5 by 3. This should get you 6/15.

To convert 1/3, divide 15 by 3 to get 5. Now multiply both 1 and 3 by 5. This should get you 5/15.

6/15>5/15 so 2/5>1/3.

2/5 is greater than 1/3, because 2/5 = .4 and 1/3= .33333333..... Hope I was helpful.

Find the equation of a parabola with a vertical axis and its vertex at the origin and passing through the point (-2, 3)

vredina [299]

a vertical axis, I assume it means a vertical axis of symmetry, thus it'd be a vertical parabola, like the one in the picture below.

$\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \qquad \leftarrow vertical\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{}{ h},\stackrel{}{ k}) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=0\\ k=0 \end{cases}\implies y=a(x-0)^2+0 \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x=-2\\ y=3 \end{cases}\implies 3=a(-2-0)^2+0\implies 3=4a \\\\\\ \cfrac{3}{4}=a~\hspace{10em}y=\cfrac{3}{4}(x-0)^2+0\implies \boxed{y=\cfrac{3}{4}x^2}$
