Answer:

Part A

The equation of the parabola in standard form is f(x) = 0.5·x² + x - 7.5

Part B

The equation of the parabola in factored form is f(x) = 0.5·(x + 5)·(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola, (h, k) = (-1, -8)

The zeros of the parabola = -5, 3

Part A

The quadratic equation representing the parabola can be written as follows;

y = a·(x - h)² + k

The standard form of the equation is f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c

k = c - b²/(4·a)

h = -b/(2·a)

c = k + a·h² = -8 + a

From the zeros of the parabola, we have;

f(-5) = a × (-5)² + b×(-5) + c = 25·a - 5·b + c = 0

f(3) = a × (3)² + b×(3) + c = 9·a + 3·b + c = 0

Therefore, we have;

25·a - 5·b + c = 0...(1)

9·a + 3·b + c = 0...(2)

From which we have;

25·a - 5·b + c = 25·a - 5·b - 8 + a = 26·a - 5·b - 8 = 0

9·a + 3·b + c = 9·a + 3·b - 8 + a = 10·a + 3·b - 8 = 0

We then have;

26·a - 5·b = 8...(3)

10·a + 3·b = 8...(4)

Making 'b', the subject of both equations (3) and (4), equating the values, we find the value of 'a' as follows;

From equation (3), we have;

26·a - 5·b = 8

∴ b = (26·a - 8)/5

From equation (4), we have;

10·a + 3·b = 8

∴ b = (8 - 10·a)/3

From b = b, by transitive property, we have;

(26·a - 8)/5 = (8 - 10·a)/3

3 × (26·a - 8) = 5 × (8 - 10·a)

78·a - 24 = 40 - 50·a

∴ 128·a = 64

a = 64/128 = 1/2 = 0.5

a = 0.5

∴ b = (26·a - 8)/5 = (26 × 0.5  - 8)/5 = (13 - 8)/5 = 1

b = 1

c = -8 + a

∴ c = -8 + 0.5 = -7.5

c = -7.5

The equation of the parabola in standard form is therefore presented as follows;

f(x) = 0.5·x² + x - 7.5

Part B

The equation of the parabola in factored form is given as follows;

With the aid of a graphing calculator, we have;

f(x) = 0.5·x² + x - 7.5 = 0.5×(x² + 2·x - 15) = 0.5·(x + 5)·(x - 3)

The equation of the parabola in factored form is f(x) = 0.5·(x + 5)·(x - 3)

Answer:

AB/DE=BC/EF=AC/DF

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are designated by letters in corresponding positions in the triangle names. For example, of one segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of one triangle name (such as AB), then the corresponding segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of the other triangle name (such as DE).

Corresponding segments are proportional in length. Corresponding angles are congruent.
