Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c


Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then 
−15 = 4a + 2b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then 
−5 = 9a − 3b + c


Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5

Solving it we get that 
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1

Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

____________________

Rewriting in the form of 
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y

ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)

iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)

iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)

v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36 

vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36) 
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)

vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p) 


So, after rewriting the equation would be - 

(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

Suppose that equation of parabola is

Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then 
−15 = 4a + 2b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (−3,5), then 
5 = 9a − 3b + c


Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = 5

Solving it we get that 
a = −3, b = −7, c = 11

Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −3x²− 7x + 11

____________________

Rewriting in the form of 
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

i) -3x² - 7x + 11 = y

ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)

iii) -3x² - 7x - 147/36 = y - 11 - 147/36
(Adding -147/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)

iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 543/36
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)

v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 181/12 

vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 181/12) 
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)

vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 181/12)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p) 


So, after rewriting the equation would be - 

(x + 7/6)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 181/12)

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

I believe you are right.

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides seem to be of similar length. The values you put in would make the sides equal so I would go with that one.

Find the area of the rhombus
fenix001 [56]

Check the picture below.

since in a rhombus the diagonals bisect each other, thus EC = EA.

now, the rhombus is simply 4 congruent triangles, we know the base and height of one of them, thus

\bf \textit{area of a triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh~~ \begin{cases} b=8\\ h=15 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(8)(15)\implies A=60 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of all 4 triangles}}{4(60)\implies 240}
