1 should be b and 2 should be a
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The statement that explains Karina's solution would be that the cost of natural gas is $0.83 per unit. Her solution was y=0.83 where y represents the cost of the natural gas. Hope this answers the question.
Use our brains and what we know
f(x)=a(x-h)²+k
vetex is (h,k)
and a is te leading coefient
if directix is below the focus, then it opens up and a is positive
if directix is above focus, then it opens down and a is negaitve
vertex is in between directix and focus
so
(3,-1) and y=1
-1<1
so directix is above
a is negative
directly in between
distance from -1 to 1 is 2
2/2=1
1 above (3,-1) is (3,0)
vertex is (3,0)
y=a(x-3)²+0
y=a(x-3)²
the only option with a negative 'a' value is B
answer is B
