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

What is another name for the point located at (0 0)?
GenaCL600 [577]
The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point at which the two axes intersect is called the origin. The origin is at 0 on the x-axis and 0 on the y-axis.

for every 5 coins carmen gets, she gives 2 to her brother Frankie. If carmen has 9 coins, how many does frankie have?
aliya0001 [1]
Since Carmen gives two coins to Frankie for every five that she gets, she effectively only gains 3 coins at a time. Therefore, if she has 9 coins, Frankie must have 6.
