Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabola since a quadratic is a parabola.  The standard form for a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c

but before we do that, we will use the vertex form, since it will make our work easier at the beginning.  

First and foremost, when we plot the vertex and the given point, the vertex is higher up than is the point; that means that this parabola opens upside down, and its vertex form will be

y=-|a|(x - h)² + k

The absolute value is out in front of the a, so we know that the value of a is positive, but the quadratic itself is negative (upside down) and we will find that math takes care of that negative that needs to be out front.  So we need to solve for a by filling in the x, y, h, and k values from the point and the vertex:  x = -7, y = 0, h = -3, k = 4

0 = a(-7 - (-3))² + 4 and

0 = a(-7 + 3)² + 4 and

0 = a(-4)² + 4 and

0 = a(16) + 4 and

0 = 16a + 4 and

-4 = 16a so

a=-\frac{1}{4}

Now that we know a, we can plug it back into the vertex form and then put it into standard form from there.

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x+3)^2+4

Now we will FOIL out what's inside the parenthesis to get

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x^2+6x+9)+4

Simplify by distributing the -1/4 into the parenthesis:

y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{9}{4}+4

Combine like terms to get

y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{7}{4}

And there you go!

On a coordinate plane, what is the distance between the points (-1,5) and (2,5)? Enter the answer in the box.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The distance between (-1,5) and (2,5) is √9 or 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay first, just for explaining purposes, let's call the ordered pair (-1,5) letter A and ordered pair (2,5) letter B.

Now to the answer. To start you use the distance formula. which is:

d=√( (x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²)

Then you solve by plugging the ordered pairs into the formula where -1 from point A is X1 and 5 from point A is Y1. 2 from point B is X2 and 5 from point B is Y2.

When you solve it should look like this:

1. d=√( (x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²)

2. d=√( (2- -1)²+(5-5)²) *2 minus a negative one means plus so we get 3*

3.  d=√( (3)²+(0)²)

4. d=√( 9+0)

5. √9 = 3

Answer:

gallons = dependent

minutes = independent

Step-by-step explanation:

independent variable = the variable being manipulated/changed

dependent variable = the variable being changed as a result

gallons = dependent (of the minutes of running water)

minutes = independent (affecting the gallons)
