A= -5 is the correct answer
First, convert the equation to the standard equation of a parabola.
-1/4(y+4)=(x-3)^2 ---multiply -4 on both sides
y+4=-4(x-3)^2 ---subtract 4 on both sides
y=-4(x-3)^2-4
From the equation, we know that the parabola was moved by 3 to the right, because of (x-3)^2. So the axis of symmetry is x=3. Now look at the number in front of (x-3)^2. It is -4. Since it is negative, the parabola opens downwards.
Answer:(6,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
M is the midpoint of AB then ,
M = 
, 
, 
, 
so, B= (6,-2)
Answer:
x = 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by 4:
x + 120 + 2x = 720
3x = 600 . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 120
x = 200 . . . . . . . divide by 3
_____
<em>Check</em>
(200/4 +30) +(200/2) = 180
(50 +30) + 100 = 180
80 + 100 = 180 . . . . . true
_____ _____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If you like, you can simply work with the equation given.
(3/4)x + 30 = 180 . . . . collect terms
(3/4)x = 150 . . . . . . . . . subtract 30
x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/3
