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!

dusya [7]
(x)1100+(y)113 x depends on the amount of computers is sold so x will change. y will be the amount of hard drives sold and then you add the total amount together.

Which choice correctly compares the two numbers?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

A) 20.82 > 20.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.

The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.

So, the meanings of the symbols are ...

> — "is greater than"

< — "is less than"

The only true statement of those listed is ...

20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A

_____

When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.

You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...

20.55 < 20.82

You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.
