Find the equation of a parabola with a vertical axis and its vertex at the origin and passing through the point (-2, 3)

vredina [299]

a vertical axis, I assume it means a vertical axis of symmetry, thus it'd be a vertical parabola, like the one in the picture below.

$\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \qquad \leftarrow vertical\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{}{ h},\stackrel{}{ k}) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=0\\ k=0 \end{cases}\implies y=a(x-0)^2+0 \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x=-2\\ y=3 \end{cases}\implies 3=a(-2-0)^2+0\implies 3=4a \\\\\\ \cfrac{3}{4}=a~\hspace{10em}y=\cfrac{3}{4}(x-0)^2+0\implies \boxed{y=\cfrac{3}{4}x^2}$

Please help! Please explain how to do this, I am so lost.

alexdok [17]

Ok, so we know that RST is equal to 6x+12
And RST is also equal to 78 + 3x-12
so we set them equal to each other

6x + 12 = 3x - 12 + 78
And simplify
3x = 54
x = 18

Finally, we solve for the angle with 18 for x

6(18) + 12
108 + 12
120

Hope this helps

Please help don’t understand

JulijaS [17]

The angles opposite equal sides are also equal. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180. So 2x + 27 + 2x + 27 + 3x + 28 = 180.

7x + 82 = 180
7x = 98
x = 14

Now plug x into each angle to find their measures.
