Which of the following parabolas opens down?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
3 0

ANSWER

The correct answer is C.

EXPLANATION

  • The directrix of the parabolas are parallel to the x-axis.
  • This means that, the orientation of the parabola is parallel to the y-axis.
  • We compare the focus and the directrix to determine whether the parabola opens downwards or upwards.
  • If the directrix is above the focus, then the parabola opens downwards.
  • On the other hand if the directrix is below the focus , then the parabola must open upwards.
  • If you look at option C, y=-2 isthe directrix. The focus is (3,-5). Since the the y-value of the focus , -5 is less than y=-2 which is the directrix, this parabola must open down.

The correct answer is C.

X^3 - 10x^2 + 25x = 0
ehidna [41]

Answer:

x = 0 , x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ - 10x² + 25x = 0 ← factor out x from each term

x(x² - 10x + 25) = 0 ← (x² - 10x + 25) is a perfect square

x(x - 5)² = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

(x - 5)² = 0

x - 5 = 0

x = 5 ( multiplicity of 2 )

In the parallelogram below, solve for Y<br> Options <br> 4<br> 10<br> 25<br> 100
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

x = 4

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the front triangle has two 40° angles (sum of all ∡'s must be 180°)

the unlabeled lower-left angle then is 40°; this angle corresponds to the angle in the other triangle labeled as 10y°

therefore, 10y = 40 so y = 4

Since opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent then we can write:

40° + 25x° = 100° + 10(4)°

25x° = 140 - 40°

25x = 100°

x = 4

Plz help me if u do u a good person
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

f(x)=-2x+9

f(4)+3=?

let x equal to 4

f(4)=-2(4)+8

f(4)=-8+9=+1

f(4)=1

then add 3 to f(4)

f(4)+3=1+3

f(4)+3=4

and he need f(4)+3 so the answer is

4

that's it
