You start with 100%, add 80% for the increase and you get 180%, take away 40% for the decrease and you get 140%
Answer:
The y intercept is (0,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y intercept, let x = 0
y = -x^2 -6x-1
y = -0^2-6(0) -1
y = -1
The y intercept is (0,-1)
We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are
(-5,0) and (1,0)
So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle
lets find the length of the base using the distance formula
![\sqrt{[(-5-1)^{2}+(0-0)^{2} ]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B%5B%28-5-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B%280-0%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D%7D%20%20)
the base b=6
We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation
y=a(0+5)(0-1)
y=-5a
so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)
We know that the area of the triangle =
× 6 × (5a) = 12
15a=12
a=
