Step-by-step explanation:

What is the equation of the parabola that has a vertex at

(

−

4

,

2

)

and passes through point

(

−

7

,

−

34

)

?

To solve this you need to use the vertex form of the equation of a parabola which is

y

=

a

(

x

−

h

)

2

+

k

, where

(

h

,

k

)

are the coordinates of the vertex.

Explanation:

The first step is to define your variables

h

=

−

4

k

=

2

And we know one set of points on the graph, so

x

=

−

7

y

=

−

34

Next solve the formula for

a

y

=

a

(

x

−

h

)

2

+

k

−

34

=

a

(

−

7

+

4

)

2

+

2

−

34

=

a

(

−

3

)

2

+

2

−

34

=

9

a

+

2

−

36

=

9

a

−

4

=

a

To create a general formula for the parabola you would put in the values for

a

,

h

, and

k

and then simplify.

y

=

a

(

x

−

h

)

2

+

k

y

=

−

4

(

x

+

4

)

2

+

2

y

=

−

4

(

x

2

+

8

x

+

16

)

+

2

y

=

−

4

x

2

−

32

x

−

64

+

2

So the equation of a parabola that has a vertex at

(

−

4

,

2

)

and passes through point

(

−

7

,

−

34

)

is:

y

=

−

4

x

2

−

32

x

−

Caroline is making some table decorations.
eduard

Answer:

there are 8 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) In order to obtain an equal amount of candle to candle holders Caroline has to buy enough packs to obtain a 1:1 ratio.  

Therefore to obtain a 1:1 ratio:

=30 candles/18 candle holders * (18/30)

Therefore she needs to buy 18 packs of candles and 30 packs of candle holders to have exactly the same number of candles and holders

(ii) Caroline can make = 30*18 = 540 table decorations

5. A community neighborhood wants to
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

51 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Start at one end of the 50-foot line segment.

At position 0 ft, put one tree.

Then 1 ft from 0 ft, put tree number 2.

One more foot over, at position 2 ft from the start, put tree number 3.

Notice that each tree number is one more than the number of feet.

That means at 50 ft from the stat, you put tree number 51.

Answer: 51 trees
