Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x-p)(x-9) is the equation of a vertical parabola.

If a>0, the parabola opens upwards.

If a<0, the parabola opens downwards.

Also, the focal length of the parabola is 1/|4a|.

Is xy = yx? Explain how you know

blagie [28]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

xy=yx because either way, you would end with the same product. For example, if x was 3 and y was 2, you would have (3)(2)=(2)(3), giving you 6=6 which is, in fact, a true statement.

The table represents a function.

mezya [45]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the following table representing the function f(x):

$\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\-4&-2\\-1&5\\3&4\\5&-8\end{array}$

This means

$f(-4)=-2\\ \\f(-1)=5\\ \\f(3)=4\\ \\f(5)=-8$

Hence,

f(5)=-8
