Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to simplify:
We rewrite as positive index to get:
This simplifies to
This will finally give us:
We cannot simplify further.
Hence the simplest form is
1) Solve one of the equations for either variable.
2) Substitute the expression from Step 1 into the other equation.
3) Solve the resulting equation.
4) Substitute the solution in Step 3 into one of the original equations to find the other variable.
5) Write the solution as an ordered pair.
If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)

Step-by-step explanation:
1. 24 x 3/4= 18
2. 24/-3/4=-32
3. 12- 15= -3
4. 12- (-15)= 12 + 15 = 27
5. -18 / -3/4= 24
