The equation you'd make would be (2x-2)+(2x-2)+x+x=20 because the length is 2 m less than the width (x). To simplify, it'd be 6x-4=20 because you combine like terms. You then move the -4 over to the 20 to make it 6x=24. The final answer is 4 meters.

Which equation represents a parabola that opens upward, has a minimum at x = 3, and has a line of symmetry at x = 3?

densk [106]

Answer:

$A.\ y = x^2 - 6x + 13$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that vertex equation of a parabola is given as:

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

where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola and

$(x,y)$ are the coordinate of points on parabola.

As per the question statement:

The parabola opens upwards that means coefficient of $x^{2}$ is positive.

Let $a = +1$

Minimum of parabola is at x = 3.

The vertex is at the minimum point of a parabola that opens upwards.

$\therefore$ $h = 3$

Putting value of a and h in the equation:

$y = 1(x-3)^2+k\\\Rightarrow y = (x-3)^2+k\\\Rightarrow y = x^2-6x+9+k$

Formula used: $(a-b)^2=a^{2} +b^{2} -2\times a \times b$

Comparing the equation formulated above with the options given we can observe that the equation formulated above is most similar to option A.

Comparing $y = x^2 - 6x + 13$ and $y = x^2-6x+9+k$

13 = 9+k

k = 4

Please refer to the graph attached.

Hence, correct option is $A.\ y = x^2 - 6x + 13$
