Answer:

y = 1/3(x + 5)^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The general vertex form is;

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

From the question, (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex which is (-5,-4)

So we have

y = a(x + 5)^2 -4

So we need to get the leading coefficient

Simply substitute the point it passes through

x = -2 and y = -1

-1 = a(-2 + 5)^2 - 4

-1 = a(3)^2 -4

-1 = 9a -4

9a = 4-1

9a = 3

a = 3/9

a = 1/3

So the equation is;

y = 1/3(x + 5)^2 - 4

Which expression results when the change of base formula is applied to log4 (x + 2)?

aksik [14]

You haven't shared the possible answers, so the best I can do (which is very good!) is to assume we want to change from base 4 to base 10 and then apply the change of base formula.

Given log-to-the-base-4-of (x+2), we want log-to-the-base-10 of (x+2). Following the change of base formula,
log-to-the-base-4-of (x+2)
log-to-the-base-10 of (x+2) = ------------------------------------
log-to-the-base-4-of-10

If a = pi +3j - 7k, b = pi - pj +4k and the angle between a and is acute then the possible values for p are given by

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The family of possible values for $p$ are:

$(-\infty, -4) \,\cup \,(7, +\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

By Linear Algebra, we can calculate the angle by definition of dot product:

$\cos \theta = \frac{\vec a\,\bullet\,\vec b}{\|\vec a\|\cdot \|\vec b\|}$ (1)

Where:

$\theta$ - Angle between vectors, in sexagesimal degrees.

$\|\vec a\|, \|\vec b \|$ - Norms of vectors $\vec {a}$ and $\vec{b}$

If $\theta$ is acute, then the cosine function is bounded between 0 a 1 and if we know that $\vec {a} = (p, 3, -7)$ and $\vec {b} = (p, -p, 4)$ , then the possible values for $p$ are:
