Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
f(x) = 1 - x²
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function f(x)]: f(2x + 4) = 1 - (2x + 4)²
- Expand [FOIL]: f(2x + 4) = 1 - (4x² + 16x + 16)
- (Parenthesis) Distribute negative: f(2x + 4) = 1 - 4x² - 16x - 16
- Combine like terms: f(2x + 4) = -4x² -16x - 15
Answer:
a = -0.3575
Step-by-step explanation:
The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.
The points A and B are located where

This gives


Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

Thus the coordinates of B are:

Now this point B lies on the parabola, and therefore it must satisfy the equation 
Thus

Therefore
