Suppose a parabola has vertex (6,5) and also passes through the point (7,7). Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Choice B: $y = 2\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For a parabola with vertex $(h,\, k)$ , the vertex form equation of that parabola in would be:

$\text{$y = a\, (x - h)^{2} + k$ for some constant $a$}$ .

In this question, the vertex is $(6,\, 5)$ , such that $h = 6$ and $k = 5$ . There would exist a constant $a$ such that the equation of this parabola would be:

$y = a\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

The next step is to find the value of the constant $a$ .

Given that this parabola includes the point $(7,\, 7)$ , $x = 7$ and $y = 7$ would need to satisfy the equation of this parabola, $y = a\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

Substitute these two values into the equation for this parabola:

$7 = (7 - 6)^{2}\, a + 5$ .

Solve this equation for $a$ :

$7 = a + 5$ .

$a = 2$ .

Hence, the equation of this parabola would be:

$y = 2\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

What is the value of x in the equation<br> 4z +16<br> 12<br> = х - 4?

Serhud [2]

<h3>Solution:</h3>

$\frac{4x + 16}{12} = x - 4 \\ = > 4x + 16 = 12(x - 4) \\ = > 4x + 16 = 12x - 48 \\ = > 16 + 48 = 12x - 4x \\ = > 64 = 8x \\ = > x = \frac{64}{8} \\ = > x = 8$
