That's vertex form for a parabola and we read off vertex (p,q) as
Answer: Vertex (5,7)
The negative <em>a</em> tells us this is a downward opening parabola (upside down from the usual . I remember CUP - Concave Up Positive; here <em>a </em>is negative so not a cup, instead concave <em>down.</em> The same rule applies to second derivatives in calculus so memorize it now and use it later.
Answer: downward
Answer:
16 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that any diagonal of a rhombus divides the rhombus into two equal parts having the same area.
Now. the area of Δ ABC can be calculated from the coordinates of its three vertices.
Here, A(-1,4), B(3,2) and C(-1,0) are given.
Hence, the area of Δ ABC will be
square units.
Therefore, area of the rhombus will be (8 × 2) = 16 square units. (Answer)
Note: If the three vertices of a triangle ABC are given to be (x1,y1), (x2,y2), and (x3,y3), then area of the triangle will br given by
.
