Answer:
a = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k ) = (105, 27 ) , thus
y = a(x - 105)² + 27
To find a substitute (109, 14 ) into the equation
14 = a(109 - 105)² + 27 ( subtract 27 from both sides )
- 13 = 16a ( divide both sides by 16 )
a = - 
Answer:
It is a reflection over the x-axis. Because it goes down, passing the x-axis.
You are finding 3 1/6 - 1 5/6.
To solve, you should first change it so that the numerator of the first fraction is greater than the numerator of the second. Note that both have the same denominator (6). Subtract as usual:
3 1/6 = 2 7/6
2 7/6 - 1 5/6 = 1 2/6
1 2/6 is your answer.
