Answer: D) 10

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming points M and N are midpoints of segments FD and FE respectively. If that's the case, then segment DE is twice as long compared to segment MN. We consider MN to be a midsegment.

So,

DE = 2*(MN)

3x-2 = 2*(x+4)

3x-2 = 2x+8

3x-2x = 8+2

x = 10

Write the equation in vertex form of the parabola with the vertex (-4,-4) that goes through the point (-2,-16)

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$- 3(x + 4) {}^{2} - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is

$a(x - h) {}^{2} + k = f(x)$

We know that h and k are both -4. Let x be -2 and y be -16.

$a( - 2 + 4) {}^{2} - 4 = - 16$

$a(2) {}^{2} - 4 = - 16$

$4a - 4 = - 16$

$4a = - 12$

$a = - 3$

So the equation in vertex form is

$- 3(x + 4) {}^{2} - 4$
