Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (- 4, - 9), thus
y = a(x + 4)² - 9
To find a substitute the coordinates of the zero (- 7, 0) into the equation.
0 = a(- 7 + 4)² - 9, that is
0 = 9a - 9 ( add 9 to both sides )
9a = 9 ( divide both sides by 9 )
a = 1, thus
y = (x + 4)² - 9 ← expand factor using FOIL
y = x² + 8x + 16 - 9
y = x² + 8x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
1-(-4)=m(4-3)
5=m
First, you need to draw this out. Roughly, it should look a little something like the link i included in this answer. then u just draw a line tracing the points to make a rectangle (sandbox) and decide that the perimeter, or the distance around, would be 3+4+3+4 = 14 feet.
Consecutive numbers mean in order from smallest to largest, therefore, 7, 8, 9, would be the answer. 7+8+9=24.
