Write the equation of a parabola having the vertex (1, −2) and containing the point (3, 6) in vertex form. Then, rewrite the equ

In-s [12.5K]

PART A

The equation of the parabola in vertex form is given by the formula,

$y - k = a {(x - h)}^{2}$

where

$(h,k)=(1,-2)$

is the vertex of the parabola.

We substitute these values to obtain,

$y + 2 = a {(x - 1)}^{2}$

The point, (3,6) lies on the parabola.

It must therefore satisfy its equation.

$6 + 2 = a {(3 - 1)}^{2}$

$8= a {(2)}^{2}$

$8=4a$

$a = 2$
Hence the equation of the parabola in vertex form is

$y + 2 = 2 {(x - 1)}^{2}$

PART B

To obtain the equation of the parabola in standard form, we expand the vertex form of the equation.

$y + 2 = 2{(x - 1)}^{2}$

This implies that

$y + 2 = 2(x - 1)(x - 1)$

We expand to obtain,

$y + 2 = 2( {x}^{2} - 2x + 1)$

This will give us,

$y + 2 = 2 {x}^{2} - 4x + 2$

$y = {x}^{2} - 4x$

This equation is now in the form,

$y = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$
where

$a=1,b=-4,c=0$

This is the standard form

A pool measuring 8 meters by 26 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width, as shown in the figure. If the area of the poo

Ainat [17]

Let the width path be x.
Length of the outer rectangle = 26 + 2x.
Width of the outer rectangle = 8 +2x.

Combined Area = (2x + 26)*(2x + 8) = 1008

2x*(2x + 8) + 26*(2x + 8 ) = 1008

4x² + 16x + 52x + 208 = 1008

4x² + 68x + 208 - 1008 = 0
4x² + 68x - 800 = 0. Divide through by 4.
x² + 17x - 200 = 0 . This is a quadratic equation.

Multiply first and last coefficients: 1*-200 = -200

We look for two numbers that multiply to give -200, and add to give +17

Those two numbers are 25 and -8.

Check: 25*-8 = -200 25 + -8 = 17

We replace the middle term of +17x in the quadratic expression with 25x -8x

x² +17x - 200 = 0

x² + 25x - 8x - 200 = 0

x(x + 25) - 8(x + 25) = 0

(x+25)(x -8) = 0

x + 25 = 0 or x - 8 = 0

x = 0 -25 x = 0 + 8

x = -25 x = 8

The width of the path can not be negative.

The only valid solution is x = 8.

The width of the path is 8 meters.
