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!

4x^2-24x+4y^2+72y=76
podryga [215]
<span>Simplifying 4x2 + -24x + 4y2 + 72y = 76
Reorder the terms: -24x + 4x2 + 72y + 4y2 = 76
Solving -24x + 4x2 + 72y + 4y2 = 76
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms: -76 + -24x + 4x2 + 72y + 4y2 = 76 + -76
Combine like terms: 76 + -76 = 0 -76 + -24x + 4x2 + 72y + 4y2 = 0
 Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '4'. 4(-19 + -6x + x2 + 18y + y2) = 0
 Ignore the factor 4.

</span><span>Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-19 + -6x + x2 + 18y + y2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -19 + -6x + x2 + 18y + y2 = 0 Solving -19 + -6x + x2 + 18y + y2 = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
The solution to this equation could not be determined.</span>

Y=x-4 y=4x+2<br> whats the solution of system equations
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

X=-2

Y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations are already expressed in the simplest form of y, then we equate them to be equal hence

x-4=4x+2

Bringing like terms together

-4-2=4x-x

Solving both sides

-6=3x

Making x the subject then

X=-6/3=-2

Subsrituting the value of x into any of the initial equations

Y=x-4 then y=-2-4=-6

Therefore, the solution is

X=-2

Y=-6

How do you subtract 1 integer by another
nikdorinn [45]
Use absolute value. If both signs are negative you will get a negative number. if both are positive you get positive. if the signs are different, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
