Given equation : y=ax^2
Taking a to the other side we have, x^2=(1/a)*y
This equation describes a parabola that opens up.
When a is negative, the focus is on the negative y-axis, therefore, the parabola opens down.
The answer is a. down.
Answer:
Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, the mosquito population is a function of rainfall and can be approximated by the formula

where x is the number of inches of rainfall.

Differentiating with respect to x

Again differentiating with respect to x

Now we set N'(x)=0





Since at x=30, N''(x)<0, So at x=30, N(x) has maximum value.
Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.
Y is the number of movies
x is the number of hours
It takes 2 hours per movie
Thus:
y = x/2
2y = x
x - 2y = 0
The answer is C
Answer:
The maximum is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola that opens down (- in front), the vertex represents the highest point on the graph, or the maximum value.
The vertex of the equation is (-7,-3)
So, the maximum y value is -3
