Answer:

The standard equation of the parabola is:

y=-\frac{3}{2}x^2+12x-18

Step-by-step explanation:

An x intercept of 2 means that the point (2, 0) is in the graph of the parabola.

We can also write the general expression for the parabola in vertex form, since we can use the information on the coordinates of the vertex: (4, 6) - recall that the axis of symmetry of the parabola goes through the parabola's vertex, so the x-value of the vertex must be x=4.

y-y_{vertex}=a\,(x-x_{vertex})^2\\y-6=a\,(x-4)^2

Now we can find the value of the parameter "a" by using the extra information about the point (2, 0) at which the parabola intercepts the x-axis:

y-6=a\,(x-4)^2\\0-6=a\,(2-4)^2\\-6=a\,4\\a=-\frac{6}{4} =-\frac{3}{2}

Then the equation of the parabola becomes:

y-6=-\frac{3}{2} \,(x-4)^2\\y-6=-\frac{3}{2} (x^2-8x+16)\\y-6=-\frac{3}{2}x^2+12x-24\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x^2+12x-18

1) 1/4+1/2

We need to convert the fractions.

1/4 is fine.

1 x 2=2

2 x 2=4

1/4+2/4=3/4

2) a+a

a can be written as 1a.

1a+1a=2a

I can't see photos and he doesn't know 3 or 4 and i'm confused on 5.

a=?

Hope it helps?

find the average rate of change from t=2 to t=5 for the velocity function v(t)=t^2-t+10. WILL GIVE THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER--EXPLAI
Elina [12.6K]
Answer: The average rate of change is 6.
First, plug in each value of <em>t</em> into the function, v(t) to find there coordinate pairs.

v(2) = (2)^2 - (2) + 10
v(2) = 4 + 8
v(2) = 12

v(5) = (5)^2 - (5) + 10
v(5) = 25 + 5
v(5) = 30

You can write these values as coordinate pairs, like so: (2, 12) and (5, 30).
The formula for the average rate of change is A(x) =  \frac{f(x)-(f(a)}{x-a}. When you plug in the values from this particular case, the average rate of change formula becomes A(t) = \frac{30-12}{5-2}, or A(t)= \frac{18}{3}.

Looking at the equation, you can solve for the average rate of change between t = 2 and t = 5, which equals 6.

How do i cross multiply rational equations? EX: 6/x = 4/3
aliya0001 [1]
You would multiply 6 by 3 and x by 4. You would end up getting 4x = 18 and then you simplify that to get 9/2 or 4.5.

Did I do this right?
exis [7]
No. For instance, let’s look at 1)
It’s asking you to find what x is when x/10 = 6

So, consider the equation x/10=6
Multiply both sides by 10, and your answer is 60.
Now do this for each one.
