Y1 is the simplest parabola. Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4). This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.
y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge. We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).
Let's try this: assume that the general equation for a parabola is
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex. Subst. the known values,
-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2. Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.
The equation of parabola y4 is y+4 = (1/4)x^2
Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or
4y = x^2-16, or y = (1/4)x - 4. Take your pick! Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

Answer:
Distance is 13.6 units.
Which means it is 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a grid shows the positions of subway stop and house. The subway stop is located at (-7, 8) and house is located at (6, 4).
we have to find the distance between house and the subway stop.
Points are (-7, 8) and (6, 4).
Using distance formula,
D= /(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} = (6-(-7))^2+(4-8)^2=(13)^2+16}={169+16}={185}=13.60147\sim13.6units.
Hence, distance between house and the subway stop is 13.6 units.
Answer:
Answer C
Step-by-step explanation:
The rules of logarithmic functions require the two log functions to have the same base. If they do not have the same base, you cannot apply any of the rules.
Answer:
x = s/2
Step-by-step explanation:
● s states have joined the union in 1788
● half of s have joined in 1889
Let x be the number of states that have joined in 1889
● x = (1/2)× s
● x = s/2
Since you have y alone on one side of the equation......
Use substitution and plug in 1/2x-4 for y in the other equation.
Distribute
Combine like terms
Add 8 to both sides
Divide by 4
and 
Plug this value in for x
Simplify
Multiply everything by 8 and simplify
Divide.....
