Answer:

The equation of the quadratic in standard form is:

y=-2x^2-8x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they give us the information about where the vertex of the parabola is located, and one extra points where it passes through, we can use the general form of a quadratic in vertex form:

y-y_v=a\,(x-x_v)^2

where (x_v,y_v) is the location of the vertex (in our case the point (-2,6).

Therefore the equation above becomes:

y-y_v=a\,(x-x_v)^2\\y-6=a\,(x-(-2))^2\\y-6=a\,(x+2)^2

Now,we can use the fact that the point (-4,-2) is also a point of the graph, to find the value of the parameter "a":

y-6=a\,(x+2)^2\\-2-6=a\,(-4+2)^2\\-8=a\,(-2)^2\\-8=a\,*4\\a=-2

Then, the equation of the quadratic with such characteristics becomes:

y-6=-2\,(x+2)^2\\y-6=-2x^2-8x-8\\y=-2x^2-8x-2

which is the equation of the quadratic in standard form.

Answer:

Ivy is 6 years old and Rose is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, two variables are necessary since we have two unknown variables: Ivy's age and Rose's age.

Ivy's age will be x

and Rose's age will be y

"Ivy is half as old as her sister":

x=\frac{y}{2}

this will be our <u>fist equation.</u>

"In six years, Ivy will be two-thirds as old as Rose"

in six years Ivy will have x+6 years, and Rose will have y +6 years, so for this sentence we have the equation:

x+6=\frac{2}{3}(y+6)

this will be our <u>second equation.</u>

Substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second, and solving for y(Rose):

\frac{y}{2}+6=\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\\frac{y+12}{2} =\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\y+12=\frac{4}{3} (y+6)\\3(y+12)=4(y+6)\\3y+36=4y+24\\36-24=4y-3y\\12=y

Rose is 12 years old.

and Ivy (using the fist equation):

x=\frac{12}{2}=6

Ivy is 6 years old.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that there is a total of 6 fruits in the basket.(you can find the total by adding the number of each item together.)

Then you simply find the total amount of oranges(4).

"There are 4 oranges out of the 6 fruits in the basket"/

So, 4/6.
