The line of symmetry of the parabola whose equation is y = ax^2 -4x + 3 is

Mathematics

Answer:

B. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a parabola whose equation is:

y=ax^{2} +bx+c

The line of symmetry is calculated as:

x=\frac{-b}{2a}

Now, we have the equation y=ax^{2}-4x+3 and the line of symmetry is x=-2

Where:

b=-4\\c=3

So, we can replace b by -4 and x by -2 and solve for a using the following equation as:

x=\frac{-b}{2a}\\-2=\frac{-(-4)}{2a}\\-2(2)a=4\\-4a=4\\a=-1

It means that the equation of the parabola is equal to:

y=-1x^{2}-4x+3

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 51. What is the second number in this sequence?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Assume the second number is x, then the other two are x - 2, x + 2

So x-2 + x + x + 2 = 51

-> 3x = 51

-> x = 17

Find what equals to x and what equals to y
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

x=15√2  y=90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks to the Pythagorean Theorem we know that with any right triangle, A^2+B^2=C^2. In this case we can use 15^2+15^2=sqrt of 450. The square root of 450 is 15 times the square root of 2. Thus x=15√2. Now we need to find y. All angles in a triangle add up to 180 so if we have 45+45+y=180 then y=90.

What is the conversion?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor in the box is the product ...

  \dfrac{1\,\text{kPa}}{1000\,\text{Pa}}\cdot\left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}}{100\,\text{cm}}\right)^3=10^{-9}\,\dfrac{\text{kPa m}^3}{\text{Pa cm}^3}

_____

The purpose of a conversion factor is to multiply by 1 in the form of a ratio that changes the units. We know that 1000 Pa = 1 kPa, so the ratio (1 kPa)/(1000 Pa) is the ratio of two equal quantities. It has the value 1 and will change units from Pa to kPa.

Likewise, 100 cm = 1 m, so (1 m)/(100 cm) will change the units from cm to m. However the given expression uses cm³, so we need to multiply by the conversion factor 3 times. That factor is ((1 m)/(100 cm))³ = (1 m³)/(10⁶ cm³).

To choose the appropriate conversion factor, look at the units you have (Pa, cm) and the units you want (kPa, m). Find the relationship these have to each other, and write the ratio so that it will cancel the units you have and leave the units you want.

When SI units are involved the prefixes help you out. k = kilo = 1000; c = centi = 1/100. It is worthwhile to get to know them.
