Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Vertex =(3,5)

x= -1, y=6

Simply,eqn of parabola is given by ax^2+bx+c=y

So, coefficient of squared term (x^2) is 'a'

Therefore, we've to find the value of a

Moving on to solution:

a-b+c=6 ___(i) (by putting the given values of x and y in eqn of parabola )

We know that,

Vetex=(-b/2a, ( 4ac-b^2)/4a)

(3,5) = (-b/2a , (4ac-b^2)/4a)

Equating corresponding sides,we get

3= -b/2a

b=-6a___(ii)

Again,

5=(4ac-b^2)/4a

5=(4ac/4a) - (b^2/4a)

5= c- (36a^2/4a) (by putting value of b from eqn ii )

5= c-9a___(iii)

Now,moving back to the first eqn

a+6a+5+9a=6

16a=1

therefore,a=1/16

Hence ,the required value of coefficient of squared term is 1/16.

<em>I</em><em> </em><em>tried</em><em> </em><em>my</em><em> </em><em>best</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>give</em><em> </em><em>clear</em><em> </em><em>explanation</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>much</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em> </em><em>know</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>It's</em><em> </em><em>just</em><em> </em><em>we've</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>value</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em>a <em>.</em><em> </em><em>F</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>use</em><em> </em><em>any</em><em> </em><em>method</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>easier</em><em>.</em>

1.Which expressions are polynomials? Select each correct answer. Pick more then one.
madreJ [45]

If all the power of the variables are greater than or equal to zero, then the expression is a valid polynomial.

So,

1.

7x^{7}-x-5

35x^{2}

\frac{x}{5}+2

are polynomials.

2.

x^{2} -x\sqrt{2}

y

2 + s

4x^{2} +y

are all polynomials.

3.

If the degree of the polynomial is 3, then it is a cubic polynomial. If the number of terms of a polynomial is 3, then it is a trinomial.

Hence, -5x^{3}-4x+1 is a cubic trinomial.

4.

The highest power is the degree.

Hence, degree of the polynomial is 2 + 4 = 6.

I am very confused lol... So I'm doing a worksheet for Algebra 1 (highschool) and we're doing division and multiplication with f
evablogger [386]

OK first change 3 3/4 to an improper fraction and that will give you  15/4. so you got that part right.  Next, change the division sign to multiplication. then flip the 1/2 to 2/1.  Then multiply 15 times 2 and that will give you 30. Then multiply 4 times 1 and that will give you 4. then you will have an answer of  30/4. Finally, since you a have a big number over a small number you divide 30 by 4 and that will give you 7 1/2. So it turns out that your little cheat sheet is wrong because when you check your answer you should go on Math-way to check it. Also, a little background about me is that I am in 8th grade and I am taking algebra 1 too.
