Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (2, - 4) , thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 4

To find a substitute (3, - 1 ) into the equation

- 1 = a(3 - 2)² - 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

3 = a

Thus

y = 3(x - 2)2 - 4 ← equation in vertex form

   = 3(x² - 4x + 4) + 4

    = 3x² - 12x + 12 + 4

     = 3x² - 12x + 16 ← equation in standard form

with coefficient of x² term = 3

Write a linear function of f with f(-3)=-2 and f(-2)=3
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

y=5x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

when x=-3, y=-2, and when x=-2,  y=3. we know that every time x increases by 1, y also increases by 5. This means that the slope is 5. to find the y-intercept, we need x to be 0. to find that, increase x by 2. if x increases by 2, then y would also increase by 10. add 10 to 3 and add 2 to -2 to get x=0 and y=13. the coordinates would be (0,13). the y-intercept is 13. now that we have enough information, we can conclude that y=5x+13. To check your answer, plug in the values for x.

find a number such that when 3/4 of it is added to 3½the sum is the same as when 2/3 of it is subtracted from 6½. PLEASE HELP​
galben [10]

Answer:

- 120

Step-by-step explanation:

call x is the number you want to find

  1. (3/4 )x + 3\frac{1}{2} = (2/3)x - 6\frac{1}{2}
  2. (3/4)x + (7/2) = (2/3)x - (13/2)
  3. (3/4)x - (2/3)x = - (13 /2) - (7/2)
  4. (1/12)x = -10
  5. x = -10 / (1/12) = -120
