the value of a is 2 bc by looking at the graph a normal parabola of x^2 would bc followinf the 1-3-5 rule but this does not

from the vertex it goes over 1 and up 2

Lets write it in vertex form

y = a(x - 1)^2 - 2        (because the vertex is at (1, -2)

Now the zeroes are   0 and 2 so substituting x = 2 and y = 0 in the above:-

0 = a(2-1)^2 - 2

0 = a - 2

a = 2

so we have y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 2

which in standard form is  

y = 2x^2 - 4x + 2 - 2

y = 2x^2 - 4x   is the answer

Two tourists went on a hike at dawn. One went from a to b and another one went from b to a. They met at noon but did not stop an
Alecsey [184]
<span>Dawn was at 6 am. Variables a = distance from a to passing point b = distance from b to passing point c = speed of hiker 1 d = speed of hiker 2 x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as a = cx = 9d cx = 9d x = 9d/c The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as b = dx = 4c dx = 4c x = 4c/d We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other. 9d/c = 4c/d Multiply both sides by d 9d^2/c = 4c Divide both sides by c 9d^2/c^2 = 4 Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides 3d/c = 2 d/c = 2/3 We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now. x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6 x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6 Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am. We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>

Is 6+2 +4x equivalent to 6- ( 2-4x) . if not , why not ?
Xelga [282]
Well lets solve for both.
6 + 2 + 4x
Combine like terms.
8 + 4x
Now solve the other one.
6 - (2 - 4x)
Distribute.
6 - 2 + 4x
Combine like terms.
4 + 4x.
These equations are not equivalent because instead of adding two, like in the first one, the second problem is subtracting. So you get 8 + 4x and 4 + 4x. I hope this helps love! :)
