Write an equation for a parabola that has a vertex (1, 2) and passes through the point (3, -6).

Answer:

y= -2x²+4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

the common equation of the parabola is y=ax²+bx+c, where a, b, c - numbers.

1) the coordinates of the vertex are:

x_0=-\frac{b}{2a} \ and \ y_0=\frac{4ac-b^2}{4a}.

2) if according to the condition x₀=1, then b= -2a.

If according to the condition y₀=2, then   2=\frac{4ac-b^2}{4a}=\frac{4ac-4a^2}{4a}=c-a;

it means that c=a+2.

3) if b= -2a; c=a+2 and the point (3;-6) belongs to the given parabola, then it is possible to substitute them into the common equation of the parabola:

-6=3²*a-6a+a+2; ⇔ a= -2.

4) if a= -2, then b=-2a=4, and c=a+2=0.

5) if a=-2, b=4 and c=0, then the required equation of the parabola is:

y= -2x²+4x.

Given the table, write and equation for the function, and describe what it does.<br><br> ASAP!!!
k0ka [10]

Answer:

f(x) = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x + 1

f(1) = 3+1 = 4

f(2) = 3*2 + 1 = 7

f(3) = 3*3 + 1 = 10

f(4) = 3*4 + 1 = 13

it's a linear function with slope 3 and y intercept 1

Pleaseeee help! I don't get this!! Please leave a detailed explanation of how you got your answer!!!
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Break down the figure into two shapes.

SHAPE A: The larger one. We can infer the size of the bottom is 6 cm because it's the same size as it's top counterpart. Same goes for the left side, which will have a measure of 7 cm.

SHAPE B: The smaller one. We're going to use the same method as we did with the first one, and infer the lengths of the other sides using the existing ones.

To calculate area, it's length times width.

SHAPE A: Its two side measures are 6 and 7, which equates to 42 cm^2.

SHAPE B: Its two side measures are 2 and 3, which equates to 6 cm^2.

If you add the two, the total area is 44 cm^2.
