Answer:

The equation in standard form is y = -x^{2}+8\cdot x -18. The "a" value is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function is the standard form of the parabola. We can take advantage of the symmetry property of the parabola by using the following formula from the Analytical Geometry:

y - k = C\cdot (x-h)^{2} (1)

Where:

C - Parabola constant, dimensionless.

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Depedent variable, dimensionless.

h, k - Coordinates of the vertex of the parabola, dimensionless.

If we know that (x_{1},y_{1})=(2,-6), (x_{2},y_{2})=(7,-11) and h = 4, then we have the following system of linear equations:

(x_{1},y_{1})=(2,-6)

-6-k = C\cdot (2-4)^{2}

4\cdot C +k = -6 (2)

(x_{2},y_{2})=(7,-11)

-11-k =C\cdot (7-4)^{2}

9\cdot C + k = -11 (3)

By clearing k in (2) and (3) and equalizing each other, we get that:

-6-4\cdot C = -11-9\cdot C

5\cdot C = -5

C = -1

And the remaining variable is calculated by substituting directly on (3):

k = -11-9\cdot C

k = -11-9\cdot (-1)

k = -2

Then, the equation of the parabola is:

y+2 = -(x-4)^{2}

And the standard form of the equation is obtained by algebraic handling:

y+2 = -(x^{2}-8\cdot x + 16)

y + 2 = -x^{2}+8\cdot x -16

y = -x^{2}+8\cdot x -18 (4)

The equation in standard form is y = -x^{2}+8\cdot x -18. The "a" value is -1.

I need help it's so important if u answer them correctly u will be named the branliest

1. No it is not because it is false. It is false because for it to be three times as many wins as jim, jim would need around 166 or less wins to make cy have three times the wins. 2. i believe the graph is misleading because there isnt enough pets on the graph or data on the graph. 3. i honestly dont quite understand the question i would need to see it in person. Hope the first two answers help you out :-)

) Set up a double integral for calculating the flux of F=3xi+yj+zk through the part of the surface z=−5x−2y+2 above the triangle
Fynjy0 [20]

The surface (call it S) is a triangle with vertices at the points

x=0,y=0\implies z=2\implies(0,0,2)

x=0,y=2\implies z=-2\implies(0,2,-2)

x=2,y=0\implies z=-8\implies(2,0,-8)

Parameterize S by

\vec s(u,v)=(1-v)(2,0,-8)+v\bigg((1-u)(0,2,-2)+u(0,0,2)\bigg)=(2-2v,2v-2uv,-8+6v+4uv)

with 0\le u\le1 and 0\le v\le1. Take the normal vector to S to be

\vec s_v\times\vec s_u=(20v,8v,4v)

Then the flux of \vec F across S is

\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\int_0^1\int_0^1\vec F(x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v))\cdot(\vec s_v\times\vec s_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1(6-6v,2v-2uv,-8+6v+4uv)\cdot(20v,8v,4v)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

=\displaystyle8\int_0^1\int_0^1(11v-10v^2)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\boxed{\frac{52}3}
