Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The equations of parabolas in the options.
To find:
The steepest parabola.
Solution:
We know that, if a parabola is defined as

Then, the greater absolute value of n, the steeper the parabola.
It can be written as


where
, the smaller absolute value of p, the steeper the parabola.
Now, find the value of |p| for eac equation
For option A, 
For option B, 
For option C, 
For option D, 
Since, the equation is option A has smallest value of |p|, therefore, the equation
represents the steepest parabola.
Hence, the correct option is A.
Answer:
46 logs on the 5th row.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of logs on the nth row is
n = 50 - (n-1)
n = 51 - n (so on the first row we have 51 - 1 = 50 logs).
So on the 5th row we have 51 - 5 = 46 logs.
I believe that the equations answer is around 1170. The answer to the equation is 1172
