Answer:
let a = x² (a ≥ 0), we have the equation:
a² + a + 1 = 0
⇔ a² + 2.1/2.a + 1/4 + 3/4 = 0
⇔ (a + 1/2)² = -3/4 (unreasonable)
=> no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the rational expression

; to simplify it, we are going to try to find a common factor in the numerator, and, if we are luckily, that common factor will get rid of the denominator

.
Notice that in the denominator all the numbers are divisible by two, so 2 is part of our common factor; also, all the terms have the variable

, and the least exponent of that variable is 1, so

will be the other part of our common factor. Lets put the two parts of our common factor together to get

.
Now that we have our common factor, we can rewrite our numerator as follows:

We are luckily, we have

in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:


We can conclude that the simplified version of our rational function is

.

Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is given by

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the parabola's vertex. Since the vertex is at (1, -6), we can write the equation as

Also, since the parabola passes through (4, -7), we can use this to find the value for a:

or

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is
