Check the picture below

so.. .hmmm the vertex is at the origin... and we know the parabola passes through those two points... let's use either.. say hmmm 100,-50, to get the coefficient "a"

keep in mind that, the parabolic dome is vertical, thus we use the y = a(x-h)²+k  version for parabolas, which is a vertical parabola

as opposed to x = (y-k)²+h, anyway, let's find "a"

\bf y=a(x-0)^2+0\implies y=ax^2\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x=100\\
y=-50
\end{cases}\implies -50=a100^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-50}{100^2}=a\implies -\cfrac{1}{200}=a
\\\\\\
thus\qquad \qquad y=-\cfrac{1}{200}x^2\implies \boxed{y=-\cfrac{x^2}{200}}

now.. .your choices, show.... a constant on the end.... a constant at the end, is just a vertical shift from the parent equation, the equation we've got above.. is just the parent equation, since we used the origin as the vertex, it has a vertical shift of 0, and thus no constant, but is basically, the same parabola, the one in the choices is just a shifted version, is all.

Answer:

From left to right, -3/2, -4/5, -3/10, 1/2, 7/8, 4/3

Step-by-step explanation

So what we're trying to do here is to order the numbers from greatest to least.

Let's start off with the negative numbers.

-3/10, -4/5, -3/2.

Now what we want to do is give them all a common denominator to figure out which one is the least of that group.

-3/10,-8/10,-15/10.

Now on to the positive numbers.

1/2, 4/3, 7/8

Turn the denominator into 24.

12/24, 32/24, 21/24

Then put them all in order.

A sphere has a diameter of 14.5 inches.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

≈ 660.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area (A) of a sphere is calculated using the formula

A = 4πr² ← r is the radius

Given diameter = 14. 5 then radius = 7.25, thus

A = 4π × 7.25² = 4π × 52.5625 ≈ 660.5 in²
