Y1 is the simplest parabola. Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4). This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.
y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge. We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).
Let's try this: assume that the general equation for a parabola is
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex. Subst. the known values,
-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2. Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.
The equation of parabola y4 is y+4 = (1/4)x^2
Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or
4y = x^2-16, or y = (1/4)x - 4. Take your pick! Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.
Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator
GCD of 7 and 9 is 1Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD
(7/1)/(9/1)Reduced fraction: 7/9
17/4 as a mixed fraction would be 4 1/4
Answer:
2/5 or .4
Step-by-step explanation:
basically look at the points where the line meets the graph. two points would be 0,20 and 50,40. then count the amount that it changes vertically and then horizontally. +20vertical +50 horizonal giving the slope 20/50. this can then be simplified to 2/5 or the equivalent number .4
