The model represents an equation. What value of x makes the equation true?
1 answer:
Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of
So, the equation we want to solve is
Subtract 3x from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the quadratic in standard form, begin by writing it in vertex form
Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Here the vertex is (-3,-2). Substitute and write:
To find a, substitute one point (x,y) from the parabola into the equation and solve for a. Plug in (0,7) a y-intercept of the parabola.
The vertex form of the equation is .
To write in standard form, convert vertex form through the distributive property.
