Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c
Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then
−15 = 4a + 2b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then
−5 = 9a − 3b + c
Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5
Solving it we get that
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1
Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

Rewriting in the form of
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y
ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)
iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)
iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)
v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36
vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36)
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)
vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p)
So, after rewriting the equation would be -
(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

6 is easy
7. never divide by a fraction, flip ot upside down and multiply, so multiply by 5 on both sides
8. subtract 3.45 on both sides
9. the answer is just 1
Answer: 7208 remainder 5
Step-by-step explanation:
11. Similar 1/2
12. Similar 2
13. no
14. no
15. No, they are not congruent because rectangles do not have equal sides, so the length of one triangle could be longer than the other and the width ozone can be shorter than the other.
16. Yes
Problem 1, part (a)
<h3>Answer: False</h3>
For instance, 200 feet in real life can be reduced to scale down to say 2 inches on paper. So we have a reduction going on, and not an enlargement.
====================================================
Problem 1, part (b)
<h3>Answer: true</h3>
This is because a scale drawing involves similar polygons. This is true whenever any dilation is applied.
====================================================
Problem 2
I'm not sure how your teacher wanted you to answer this question. S/he didn't give you any numbers for the side lengths of the polygon. The angle measures are missing as well.
