Carter was given a box of assorted chocolates for his birthday. Each night, Carter treated himself to some chocolates. Carter at
e 5 chocolates each night and there were originally 30 chocolates in the box. Write an equation for C,C, in terms of t,t, representing the number of chocolates remaining in the box tt days after Carter's birthday.
The parabola with with a vertex at (-4,-2) represents any member of parabolas with the equation where is any real number with the exception that .
The reason any equation of the form works is that there are an infinite number of parabolas with a vertex at (-4,-2). All of these parabolas are formed by applying some transformation that involves a vertical translation of -2 and a horizontal translation of -4 on the parabola . The different variations are archived by varying the constant . When is negative, the parabolas will face downwards. When is negative, the parabolas will be face downwards.
