A parabolic function's key characteristic is either having 2 x-intercepts or 2 y-intercepts. That is the reason why the standard form of parabolic functions are:
(x-h)^2 = +/- 4a(y-k) or (y-k)^2 = +/- 4a(x-h), where
(h,k) is the coordinates of the vertex
4a is the lactus rectum
a is the distance from the focus to the vertex
This is also called vertex form because the vertex (h,k) is grouped according to their variable.
Since we don't know any of those parameters, we'll just have to graph the data points given as shown in the picture. From this data alone, we can see that the parabola has two x-intercepts, x=-4 and x=-2. Since it has 2 roots, the parabola is a quadratic equation. Its equation should be
y = (x+4)(x+2)
Expanding the right side
y = x²+4x+2x+8
y = x²+6x+8
Rearrange the equation such that all x terms are on one side of the equation
x²+6x+___=y-8+___
The blank is designated for the missing terms to complete the square. Through completing the squares method, you can express the left side of the equation into (x-h)² form. This is done by taking the middle term, dividing it by two, and squaring it. So, (6/2)²=9. Therefore, you put 9 to the 2 blanks. The equation is unchanged because you add 9 to both sides of the equation.
The final equation is
x²+6x+9=y-8+9
(x+3)²=y+1
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 9 from 26 and you should get the answer
It would be d because you would subtract 52 from 17 to get the answer then add the number you got to 17 to get 52.
Answer:
81 adult tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Set up a system of equations
Since the adult tickets and student tickets add to 243, we can do

and the student tickets sold were 2x the adult tickets, we can do

We can replace s in the first equation adding to 243 with 2a

Step 2:
Solve for a. We can divide both sides by 3.

Therefore, there were 81 adult tickets sold.
Step 3:
We can check our work! Since we learned earlier the student tickets are 2x adult tickets, we can multiply 81 by 2 and add that to 81 to see if it equals 243!

And...

So, 81 must be the answer!
