Answer:
To get the x-intercept we need the equation of the parabola;
the vertex form of the equation is given by:
y=a(x-h)^2+k
where:
(2,13) is the vertex:
Therefore;
y=a(x-2)^2+13
when x=0, y=5
Therefore the value of a will be:
5=a(0-2)^2+13
5-13=4a
4a=-8
a=-2
therefore the equation of the parabola will be:
y=-2(x-2)^2+13
y=-2x^2+8x+5
the x-intercept will be:
x=2-sqrt(7.5)
or
x=2+sqrt(7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is C.
If you type in your calculator "Y=" and then " -4(2)^x " and click "GRAPH" you will see a descending graph, from left to right, that looks EXACTLY like the third graph in option C.
So first you'll substitute x for -2.3 then you'll subtract 2 by 1 which equals 1 then you'll divide -2.3 on both sides which will equal g = -1.3
Your answer would be ~ 305.83 !!
