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

Answer:

(C) 2√15

Step-by-step explanation:

Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.

... CB/CA = CT/CB

... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values

... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify

_____

<em>Comment on this solution</em>

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...

... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above

This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.
