Answer:

The parabola will reflect over the x axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

By setting the "a" value to a negative number, you will be inverting the f(x) values, in other words making a parabola open downwards, or a direct reflection over the x axis of the parent formula.

Take f(x)=1x^{2}+0 for example.

if we plug in 1 for x f(x) will equal 1

however if we make the a value negative

f(x)= -1x^{2}+0

and set x equal to 1,

you should see that f(x) is now -1

How was ABCDEFGH transformed to A'B'C'D'E'F'G'H'?
Yanka [14]
So ur going from a smaller shape to a larger shape....means the scale factor is more then 1. The scale factor is the number that u multiply the original shape by to get the other shape.

so lets look at DE...it is 2.....and D'E' is 6

so 2 * x = 6...with ur scale factor being x
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = 3.....so the scale factor is 3....because multiplying the original shape by 3, gives u the other shape

Graham is hiking at an altitude of 14,040 feet and is descending 50 feet each minute. Max is hiking at an altitude of 12,500 fee
alina1380 [7]

Graham: -50x + 14,040

Max:  20x + 12,500

   Graham      =        Max

-50x + 14,040 = 20x + 12,500

<u>+50x               </u>   <u>+50x               </u>

            14,040 = 70x + 12,500

<u>          -12,500  </u>  <u>         -12.500 </u>

             1,540  = 70x

              \frac{1,540}{70} = \frac{70x}{70}

                220 = x

Answer: 220 minutes <em>(3 hours 40 minutes)</em>
