Answer:
• multiplied by 4p: (x -h)² +4pk = 0
• zeros for k > 0: none
• zeros for k = 0: one
• zeros for k < 0: two
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Multiplying by 4p removes the 1/(4p) factor from the squared term, but adds a factor of 4p to the k term. (It has no effect on the subsequent questions or answers, so we wonder why we're doing this.) The result is ...
(x -h)² +4pk = 0
__
b) The value of k is the vertical location of the vertex of the parabola with respect to the x-axis. The parabola opens upward, so for k > 0, the parabola does not cross the x-axis, and the number of real zeros is zero. (There are two complex zeros.)
__
c) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is zero, the vertex of the parabola is on the x-axis, so there is one real zero (It is considered to have multiplicity 2.)
__
d) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is negative, the vertex of the parabola is below the x-axis. Since the parabola opens upward, both branches will cross the x-axis, resulting in two real zeros.
_____
The attached graph shows a parabola with p=1/4 and h=2. The values shown for k are +1, 0, and -1. The coordinates of the real zeros are shown.

Answer:
- <u>14.4 mile</u>²
Explanation:
1. By driving 6 miles each, the cars will be 6 miles + 6 miles = 12 miles appart.
2. When one car stops and the other car makes a 90° left-hand turn and drive 8 miles, you can model the situation with a right triangle, where one leg is 12 miles, the other leg is 8 miles, and the hypotenuse is the distance that separates the cars.
Hence, you must use Pythagoras to find that distance.
3. Pythagoras
- hypotenuse² = leg₁² + leg₂²
- hypotenuse = (12 mile)² + (8 mile)² = 144 mile² + 64 mile² = 208 mile²
, which is rounded to the neartest tenth of a mile.
