A parabola has a vertex at (4, 0) and passes through the point (6, 1). What is the equation of the parabola?

1 answer:

7 0

We are given the vertex of a parabola equal to (4, 0) and that the passes the point (6,1). In this case, it is assumed from the given that the parabola is facing upwards. In this case, the equation is (y-k) = 4a (x-h)^2 ; y = 4a (x-4)^2 when x is 6 and y is 1. then,
1 = 4a (6-4)^24a is equal to 1/4
the equation then is y = 1/4 (x-4)^2

Find the area of the composite figure.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Area = 139.27 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the composite figure = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

= (L*W) + ½(πr²)

L = 10 m

W = 10 m

r = ½ of 10 = 5 m

Plug in the values

Area = (10*10) + ½(π*5²)

Area = 100 + 39.27

Area = 139.27 m²

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

Natasha2012 [34]

Both A and C would be solutions to the equation.

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.

2x^2+5x+8=6 ----> subtract 6 from both sides
2x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.

a = 2 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5 (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 2 (because it is the end number)

Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.

$\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{5^{2} - 4(2)(2) } }{2(2)}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{9} }{4}$

$\frac{-5 +/- 3 }{4}$

$\frac{-5 + 3 }{4}$ or -1/2 for the first answer

$\frac{-5 - 3 }{4}$ or -2 for the second answer
