Jessica is asked to write a quadratic equation to represent a function that goes through the point (8, –11) and has a vertex at

(6, –3). Her work is shown below.
–11 = a(8 – 6)2 – 3
–11 = a(2)2 – 3
–11 = 4a – 3
–8 = 4a
a = –2

After Jessica gets stuck, she asks Sally to help her finish the problem. Sally states that Jessica needs to write the quadratic equation using the value she found for a, –2, and the point (8, –11).

Evaluate Jessica’s work and Sally’s review to determine which statement is true.

Answer:

Jessica’s work is correct and Sally’s review is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm just assume it's a vertical parabola

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex for is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex

In this problem we have

(h,k)=(6,-3)

point (8,-11)

substitute

-11=a(8-6)^{2}-3

-11=a(2)^{2}-3

-11=4a-3

-8=4a

a=-2

To find the equation using the value of a and the vertex point

so

y=-2(x-6)^{2}-3

therefore

Jessica’s work is correct and Sally’s review is incorrect

Can someone explain rational and irrational numbers to me? Odysseyware sucks at teaching.
umka2103 [35]
I'm doing geometry for credit advancement in Odysseyware. Brainly and Openstudy are saviors. Anyways. So, and irrational number can't be written as a fraction, but can be written as a decimal. An irrational number has endless non repeating number to the right of the decimal point. A rational number is a number that can be written in a ratio. Which in turn means it can be written as a fraction. Both number of the fraction (numerator and denominator) are whole numbers. Any whole number is a rational number.  <span />

State when the following equations and inequalities will be true and when they will be false.
-BARSIC- [3]

' 36 = 9k ' is not an inequality.  It's an <u>equality</u>, usually called an <em><u>equation</u></em>.

It's true whenever 'k' is 4, and false at any other time.

(You can determine that simply by dividing each side of the equation by 9.)

Answer:

Yes by SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the triangles they have 2 side lenght in common (and since it is a right triange they have all the sides in commmon) and they share an angel

In other words 2 sides are conurent with an angle betwene them.

You would need to rotait the shape 90 degrese.
