Answer:
4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply each answer choice by 3/4 or 1/3 and they will all be wrong except for 4/9.
3 x 4 = 1/3
so 4/9
Last time I checked that was about right, but it's been a few years since then.
The answer to this question is:
83/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Y1 is the simplest parabola. Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4). This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.
y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge. We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).
Let's try this: assume that the general equation for a parabola is
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex. Subst. the known values,
-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2. Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.
The equation of parabola y4 is y+4 = (1/4)x^2
Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or
4y = x^2-16, or y = (1/4)x - 4. Take your pick! Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.
