Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?

Y1 is the simplest parabola. Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4). This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge. We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this: assume that the general equation for a parabola is
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex. Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2. Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or y = (1/4)x - 4. Take your pick! Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

the number of members in a club dropped from 80 to 52. what is the percent of decrease in the number of members

Illusion [34]

Percent of decrease :
Original - New / Original
so...
80 - 52 / 80 ---->
28/80
.35 multiply by 100 to get percent
35% increase Hope I helped if you have any questions let me know! :)

James and Sarah went out to lunch. The price of lunch for both of them was $20. They tipped their server 15% of that amount.

Wittaler [7]

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{15\% of 20}}{\left( \cfrac{15}{100} \right)20}\implies 3~\hfill \begin{array}{llll} \stackrel{\textit{price + tip}}{20+3\implies 23}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{each one paid half of 23}}{11.5} \end{array}$

Inverse laplace of [(1/s^2)-(48/s^5)]

Katen [24]

**Refresh page if you see [ tex ]**

I am not familiar with Laplace transforms, so my explanation probably won't help, but given that for two Laplace transform $F(s)$ and $G(s)$ , then $\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{aF(s)+bG(s)\} = a\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{F(s)\}+b\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{G(s)\}$

Given that $\dfrac{1}{s^2} = \dfrac{1!}{s^2}$ and $-\dfrac{48}{s^5} = -2\cdot\dfrac{4!}{s^5}$

So you have $\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{1}{s^2} - 2\cdot\dfrac{4!}{s^5}\right\} = \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{1}{s^2}\right\} - 2\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{4!}{s^5}\right\}$

From Table of Laplace Transform, you have $\mathcal{L}\{t^n\} = \dfrac{n!}{s^{n+1}}$ and hence $\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{n!}{s^{n+1}}\right\} = t^n$

So you have $\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{1}{s^2}\right\} - 2\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{4!}{s^5}\right\} = \boxed{t-2t^4}$ .

Hope this helps...
