One form of the equation of a parabola is
y = ax² + bx + c

The curve passes through (0,-6), (-1,-12) and (3,0). Therefore
c = - 6                       (1)
a - b + c = -12            (2)
9a + 3b + c = 0         (3)

Substitute (1) into (2) and into (3).
a - b -6 = -12
a - b = -6                  (4)
9a + 3b - 6 = 0
9a + 3b = 6              (5)

Substitute a = b - 6 from (4) into (5).
9(b - 6) + 3b = 6
12b - 54 = 6
12b = 60
b = 5
a = b - 6 = -1

The equation is
y = -x² + 5x - 6 

Let us use completing the square to write the equation in standard form for a parabola.
y = -[x² - 5x] - 6
   = -[ (x - 2.5)² - 2.5²] - 6
   = -(x - 2.5)² + 6.25 - 6

y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25
This is the standdard form of the equation for the parabola.
The vertex us at (2.5, 0.25).
The axis of symmetry is x = 2.5
Because the leading coefficient is -1 (negative), the curve opens downward.
The graph is shown below.

Answer: y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25

Students are painting a mural. So far the mural is painted 1/4 blue 2/8 red and 3/12 green. Use fraction strips to determine how
nirvana33 [79]
If you make the denominators all the same, the fractions are 3/12 , 3/12 , and 3/12. Then by simply adding them together you get that the mural is 9/12 painted. that then simplifies to  3/4 or 75%

Hope this helps :)

madreJ [45]

Answer:

<h2><u>$52.5</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are given that the linear function for the cost is  c=3.5t

c is the cost and

t is the number of tickets.

We are told that t=15, to find c, let us put the value of t in the linear function for the cost

c=3.5(15)\\\\c=52.5

<u>This shows that 15 tickets will cost $52.5</u>
