The error in the given equation is that the product of 24 and x is equal to 8

while the original product according to sentence is of 8 and x which is equal to 24

Step-by-step explanation:

we will convert the given sentence into equation to compare it with the given equation.

Let x be the number

Then

"8 multiplied by a number x."

$8x$

"24 is 8 multiplied by a number x."

24 is a product of 8 and x so

$8x = 24$

The error in the given equation is that the product of 24 and x is equal to 8

while the original product according to sentence is of 8 and x which is equal to 24

Write an equation of the parabola that has the same shape as the graph of f(x), but with the point (,) as the vertex.

erik [133]

Answer:

y=3(x-9)^2+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To move a parabola horizontally to the right, subtract 9.

To move it upward 4 units, you simply have to add 4.

These do not change the characteristics of the shape. I suggest looking at a set of rules that affect how the parabola moves horizontally and vertically.
