Answer:

width= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

18 inches is the original height and we are now reducing that to 3 inches.

In order to do that, we have to divide 18 by 3 which equals 6.

Next, take the width of the rectangle, which is twelve and divide it by the scale factor of 6 which equals 2.

Your final answers should be: width= 2

Find the equation, (f(x) = a(x-h)2+ k), for a parabola containing point (-1,0) and having (-3, 4) as a vertex. What is the stand

$(h;\ k)\ -\ \text{the coordinates of the vertex}$

$\text{therefore we have:}\ f(x)=a(x+3)^2+4$

$\text{a parabola that passes through the point (-1; 0)}$

$\text{substitute the coordinates of the poin (-1; 0) to the equation}$

$(-1;\ 0)\to x=-1;\ y=0\\\\0=a(-1+3)^2+4\\\\0=a(2)^2+4\\\\0=4a+4\ \ \ |-4\\\\4a=-4\ \ \ |:4\\\\a=-1$

$f(x)=-(x+3)^2+4=-(x^2+2\cdot x\cdot3+3^2)+4=-(x^2+6x+9)+4\\\\=-x^2-6x-9+4=-x^2-6x-5$

Cancel something
we cancel x's

multiply 1st equation by 5 and 2nd by 7 and add them
-35x-30y=-5
<u>35x-28y=7 +</u>
0x-58y=2

-58y=2
divide both sides by -58
y=-1/29
sub back
5x-4(-1/29)=1
5x+4/29=1
minus 4/29 from both sides
note, 1=29/29
5x=25/29
divide bot sides by 5 (or times 1/5)
x=5/29

(5/29,-1/29)
