18 ? am not really sure tho its kinda difficult lol
General equation of parabola: y-k = a(x-h)^2
Here the vertex is at (0,0), so we have y-0 = a(x-0)^2, or y = ax^2
All we have to do now is to find the value of the coefficient a.
(1,2) is on the curve. Therefore, 2 = a(1)^2, or 2 = a(1), or a = 2.
The equation of this parabola is y = 2x^2.
Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Weight of fido's dog = 35 pounds
Time period = 6 months
Goal weight to reach = 28 or less pounds
Let,
m be the weight to be lose each month.
Weight of dog - Time period * Weight to lose each month ≤ Goal weight
Dividing both sides by -6
Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.
