Given:
Vertex ===> (h, k) (2, 4)
The parabola passes through the point: (x, y) ==> (3, 6)
Let's find the equation of a parabola.
To find the equation, use the general equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k):
Where:
(h, k) ==> (2, 4)
(x, y) ==> (3, 6)
Substitute values into the general equation:
Subtract 4 from both sides:
Substitute 2 for a, and input the values of the vertex (h, k) in the general vertex equation:
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The height of the elephant is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Distance between a person and an elephant is 15 ft
The angle of elevation of the elephant is 30 degrees.
We need to find the height of the elephant. For this let us consider that height is h. So,
So, the height of the elephant is .
Answer:
A. m(-1)^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of m doesn't change so none of the expressions with n as an exponent of m can possibly be correct. That leaves only choice A.
_____
You will find that when alternating signs are required, the term (-1)^n will be a factor. An offset of ±1 can be added to the n to make the initial sign be what you want. Here we want +1 for n=1, so an exponent of (n-1) is appropriate.
The 3rd side would have to be at least 1 foot (4 minus 3) and no longer than 7 feet (4 plus 3).
