first off, let's notice the parabola is a vertical one, therefore the squared variable is the x, and the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the coefficient of x² is positive.
let's notice the vertex, or U-turn, is at (-2, 2)

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as
A = width × length
let width be w then length is 2w + 3 ( 3 more than twice the width ), then
A = w(2w + 3) ← distribute
= 2w² + 3w
When w = 4 , then
A = 2(4)² + 3(4)
= 2(16) + 12
= 32 + 12
= 44 ft²

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...
x/8 = (x +5)/12
3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions
3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...
(x +5) -(x) = 5
and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...
12 -8 = 4
This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...
x = (5/4)(8) = 10
