The vertex of the parabola is between the shortest line connecting its focus and directrix, so between (0, -4) and y = 4 is the point (0, 0), which is the vertex of the parabola. Also, this parabola faces downward.
The general formula for a parabola that faces downward is y = -4cx^2, where c is the distance from the vertex to either to focus or the parabola. Since c = 4, the equation is y = -16x^2, which is choice A.

x = the number of boxes
16x + 37 <== ur expression

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Function Modeling</u>
We are given a relationship between the carbohydrates used by a professional tennis player during a strenuous workout and the time in minutes as 1.7 grams per minute. Being C the carbohydrates in grams and t the time in minutes, the model is

The slope m of the line is the coefficient of the independent variable, thus m=1.7
The graph of C vs t is shown in the image below.
To find how many carbohydrates the athlete would use in t=40 min, we plug in the value into the equation
