Answer:
y = - 8x² + 6
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) = (0, 6), thus
y = a(x - 0)² + 6, that is
y = ax² + 6
To find a substitute (- 1, - 2) into the equation
- 2 = a(- 1)² + 6, that is
- 2 = a + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
- 8 = a
y = - 8x² + 6
Answer:
0.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The magnifying glass basically zooms into smaller objects. If the insect appears to be 2cm, then it is actually smaller than this. It cannot be 10 cm.
If the scale factor is 5, then this means that the insect is zoomed in 5 times through the magnifying glass. Use the following ratio:
This fraction can also be seen as division, so:
÷
The insect is actually 0.4 cm long.
(or 4 millimeters)

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Solutions: x = +\- 5i or x = +\- sqrt(5)
Discussion:
Factor x^4 - 25:
x^4 - 25 = (x^2+5) (x^2-5) => factor x^2 - 5
x^4 - 25 = (x^2+5)(x + sqrt(5)) (x - sqrt(5)) => factor x^2 + 5
x^4 = 25 = (x +5i)(x-5i) (x + sqrt(5)) (x - sqrt(5))
Hence the solutions are
x = +\- 5i and x = +\- sqrt(5)
Thank you,
MrB
I can help you. What is your question? Can you tell me?
