Answer:
y = - 4(x + 3)² + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
From the graph (h, k ) = (- 3, 7 ), thus
y = a(x + 3)² + 7
To find a we require a point on the graph other than the vertex
Using (- 2, 3) , substitute into the equation
3 = a(- 2 + 3)² + 7
3 = a + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
a = - 4
Thus
y = - 4(x + 3)² + 7 ← in vertex form
Answer:
Ping is incorrect because each term in pattern b is 3 times the corresponding term in pattern a
bearing in mind that there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, and 60 seconds in 1 minute.
60°19'39"
so 39 seconds is really 39/60 minutes, or 0.65 minutes
so 19'39" is really 19.65'.
since there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, then 19.65' is really 19.65/60 degrees, or 0.3275°.
60°19'39" is then 60.3275°.
