PART A

The equation of the parabola in vertex form is given by the formula,

y - k = a {(x - h)}^{2}

where

(h,k)=(1,-2)

is the vertex of the parabola.

We substitute these values to obtain,


y  + 2 = a {(x - 1)}^{2}

The point, (3,6) lies on the parabola.

It must therefore satisfy its equation.


6  + 2 = a {(3 - 1)}^{2}


8= a {(2)}^{2}


8=4a


a = 2
Hence the equation of the parabola in vertex form is


y  + 2 = 2 {(x - 1)}^{2}


PART B

To obtain the equation of the parabola in standard form, we expand the vertex form of the equation.

y  + 2 = 2{(x - 1)}^{2}

This implies that

y + 2 = 2(x - 1)(x - 1)


We expand to obtain,


y + 2 = 2( {x}^{2}  - 2x + 1)


This will give us,


y + 2 = 2 {x}^{2}  - 4x + 2


y =  {x}^{2}  - 4x

This equation is now in the form,

y = a {x}^{2}  + bx + c
where

a=1,b=-4,c=0

This is the standard form

Question 11
dem82 [27]

Answer:

There were 49 questions on this Geometry test.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by setting up a proportion:

x = total number of questions on Geometry test

\frac{37}{x} = \frac{75.51}{100}

Now, to solve for x, cross multiply:

75.51x = 3700

Finally, isolate x and solve:

x = 49.0001324328

This is very close to 49.
