Noon to 3 that is a 3 hour diffrence 40 miles in an hour and 60 miles in an hour that will be a 20mph difference.

<span>The distance that was traveled by the first train is 40
The distance by the second is 60 it started 3 hours late

40t=60
40t=60180
20t=180
t=9
The second train will catch up at 9.00 pm

Equation for parabola that has points (-4,2) (0,2) (-2,3)
almond37 [142]

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the equation of the parabola that has a vertex at

(

−

4

,

2

)

and passes through point

(

−

7

,

−

34

)

?

To solve this you need to use the vertex form of the equation of a parabola which is

y

=

a

(

x

−

h

)

2

+

k

, where

(

h

,

k

)

are the coordinates of the vertex.

Explanation:

The first step is to define your variables

h

=

−

4

k

=

2

And we know one set of points on the graph, so

x

=

−

7

y

=

−

34

Next solve the formula for

a

y

=

a

(

x

−

h

)

2

+

k

−

34

=

a

(

−

7

+

4

)

2

+

2

−

34

=

a

(

−

3

)

2

+

2

−

34

=

9

a

+

2

−

36

=

9

a

−

4

=

a

To create a general formula for the parabola you would put in the values for

a

,

h

, and

k

and then simplify.

y

=

a

(

x

−

h

)

2

+

k

y

=

−

4

(

x

+

4

)

2

+

2

y

=

−

4

(

x

2

+

8

x

+

16

)

+

2

y

=

−

4

x

2

−

32

x

−

64

+

2

So the equation of a parabola that has a vertex at

(

−

4

,

2

)

and passes through point

(

−

7

,

−

34

)

is:

y

=

−

4

x

2

−

32

x

−

PLEASE HELP<br> Complete the function for this graph:
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The equation is:

f(x) = Ix + 3I - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function like:

f(x) = Ix - kI + c

k is the x-value where the vertex is, and c is the y-value where the vertex is.

In the graph we can see that the vertex is in the point (-3, -2)

then:

x-value = -3 = k

y-value = -2 = c

Replacing those in the equation for the function:

f(x) = Ix - (-3)I - 2

f(x) = Ix + 3I - 2
