We know that

case a)
the equation of the vertical parabola write in vertex form is
y=a(x-h)²+k,
where (h, k) is the vertex.

Using our vertex, we have:
y=a(x-2)²-1
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),

so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
0=a(5-2)²-1
0=a(3)²-1
0=9a-1

Add 1 to both sides:
0+1=9a-1+1
1=9a
Divide both sides by 9:
1/9 = 9a/9
1/9 = a
y=(1/9)(x-2)²-1

the answer is
a=1/9


case b)
the equation of the horizontal parabola write in vertex form is
x=a(y-k)²+h, 
where (h, k) is the vertex.

Using our vertex, we have:
x=a(y+1)²+2, 
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),

so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
5=a(0+1)²+2
5=a+2
a=5-2
a=3
x=3(y+1)²+2

the answer is
a=3

Let the smallest integer = x
171= (x) + (x+2) + (x+4)
171= 3x + 6
3x = 165
x= 55
therefore the integers are 55, 57, 59

Answer:

T(2, -7) = (4, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

T(x, y) = (x + 2, y - 3)

T(2, -7) = (2 + 2, -7 - 3)

T(2, -7) = (4, -10)

The 7th grade has 195 students. There are 25 more girls than boys in the grade. How many boys are there in 7th grade
Anon25 [30]
110 girls and 85 boys.

Subtract 1 from 195. Then divide by 2. 194/2 = 97. Then add 13 97+13=110. There are 110 girls.
