The focus is above the directrix, so the parabola opens upward—its vertical scale factor is positive (+1/12). The line of symmetry is x=-5, so the vertex form of the equation will have the factor (x -(-5))² = (x+5)². The choice that meets both these requirements is
D. f(x) = (1/12)(x + 5)² + 2

Answer:
f(g(x)) = -3x^2 -2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>:
f(x) = -x-7
g(x) = 3x^2 +2x -4
<u>Find</u>:
f(g(x))
<u>Solution</u>:
Substitute per the function definitions.
f(g(x)) = f(3x^2 +2x -4) = -(3x^2 +2x -4) -7
f(g(x)) = -3x^2 -2x -3
The correct answer is, obviously, 34/7.
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem is a²+b²=c². Since each problem gives us the length of a, b, or c, we can directly plug them into this equation and solve.
Triangle EFG
9²+b²=41²
81+b²=1681
b²=1600
b=√1600
b=40
