Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
DE is parallel to AC and intersects the other 2 sides. It divides those sides proportionally, that is
=
, thus
=
( cross- multiply )
2(10 - x) = 3x ← distribute left side
20 - 2x = 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )
20 - 5x = 0 ( subtract 20 from both sides )
- 5x = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 5 )
x = 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well we can start by seeing if the parabola is the same width by comparing it to its parent function ( y = x^2 )
In y = x^2 the 2nd lowest point is just up 1 and right 1 away from the vertex.
This is not true for our parabola.
So we can widen it by to the desidered width by making the x^2 into a .5x^2.
So far we’ve got y = .5x^2
Now the parabola y intercept is at -5.
So we can add a -5 into the equation making it.
y = .5x^2 - 5
Now for the x value.
So we can find the x value by seeing how far away the parabola is from from the y axis.
So the x value is -2x.
So the full equation is
