Answer:
C) The parabola is narrower and reflected across the x-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original parabola has equation:

The transformed parabola has equation

How wide the graph is can be determined by the absolute value of the coefficient.
The smaller the absolute value of the coefficient, the wider the graph.
Since

The original graph is wider than the transformed graph.
Also the negative factor tells us there is a reflection in the x-axis.
Measure of angle 2 would be 130 degrees because since it forms a linear pair the two angles added together have to equal 180 degrees so
180 - 50 = 130
Answer:
The correct option is;
21 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the parabolic arc is as follows;
y = a(x - h)² + k
Where the height is 25 ft and the span is 40 ft, the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) is then (20, 25)
We therefore have;
y = a(x - 20)² + 25
Whereby the parabola starts from the origin (0, 0), we have;
0 = a(0 - 20)² + 25
0 = 20²a + 25 → 0 = 400·a + 25
∴a = -25/400 = -1/16
The equation of the parabola is therefore;

To find the height 8 ft from the center, where the center is at x = 20 we have 8 ft from center = x = 20 - 8 = 12 or x = 20 + 8 = 28
Therefore, plugging the value of x = 12 or 28 in the equation for the parabola gives;
.
In simplest form (smallest possible answer) the ratio is equal to 2:3. But it is also equal to 4:6.
Answer: Rounded: 350 miles/inch
Exactly 352 miles per inch.
Step-by-step explanation: Divide the miles by the inches to find miles per inch.
880/2.5 = 352.
It would make sense to round that to say the scale is 350 miles per inch.
One inch represents 350 miles
