Answer:

y^{2}=-16x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The standard equation of a horizontal parabola is equal to  

(y-k)^{2}=4p(x-h)

where

(h,k) is the vertex

(h+p,k) is the focus

In this problem we have

(h,k)=(0,0) ----> vertex at origin

(h+p,k)=(-4,0)

so

h+p=-4

p=-4

substitute the values

(y-0)^{2}=4(-4)(x-0)

y^{2}=-16x

These tables represent continuous functions. In which table do the values represent an exponential function.
Dennis_Churaev [7]
If you look at all 4 of these tables. Exponential means a large increase or gradual increase so. With that in mind if you look at table 1, the y column only increases by 5. For B, the y column only increases by 1. For C, the y column increase by 4 then 8 then 16 then 32. Therefore it is exponential. For D it is consistently an increase of 8.

Hope this helps!

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Equivalent to a), b), and d). It is NOT equivalent to c).

Step-by-step explanation:

6m + 12 is also equivalent to a) 3(2m+4) because when you distribute, it's 6m + 12. It is also equivalent to b) 3m + 8 + 4 + 3m because if you add them together, you get 6m + 12. It is not equivalent to c) but is do d) 4m + 2(m + 6) cause you use the distributive property then add. I hope this helped and please mark brainliest!
