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

Which of the relations given by the following sets of ordered pairs is a function?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by using the vertical line test. When you do the vertical line test, the vertical line should only pass through one point on the function. That means that there can to be only one value of x for every y. Set B is the only set where the x value doesn't repeat.

Answer:

The answer is 70 units2

Step-by-step explanation:

D = dx

2 + dy

2

W = (5-10)

2 + (10-5)

2

W = (5)

2 + (5)

2 = 7.071

L = (5-12)

2 + (10-17)

2

L = (7)

2 + (7)

2 = 9.899

A = LxW = (9.899)(7.071) = 69.9958 units

uysha [10]

Answer:

(2, 14), (5, 12), (8, 10), (11, 8), (14, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets do the math for Pattern A:

2 + 3 = 5

5 + 3 = 8

8 + 3 = 11

11 + 3 = 14

Lets do the math for Pattern B:

14 - 2 = 12

12 - 2 = 10

10 - 2 = 8

8 - 2 = 6

6 - 2 = 4
