Quadratic form to vertex form with a vertex of (-4,-1) and a y-intercept of 7

Mathematics

Arlecino [84]2 years ago

The quadratic function in vertex form is:

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

Where:

vertex = (h, k)
Axis of symmetry: x = h

The value of “a” determines whether the graph opens up or down, and makes the parent function wider or narrower.

The value of “h” determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.

The value of “k” determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

Now that we have these definitions, we can substitute the given values into the vertex form to solve for “a”:

Use vertex = (-4, -1) and y-intercept, (0, 7):

7 = a(0+ 4)^2 - 1
7 = a(4)^2 - 1
7 = a(16) - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

7 + 1 = a(16) - 1 + 1
8 = 16a

Divide both sides by 16 to solve for “a”:

8/16 = 16a/16
1/2 = a

Since a = 1/2 (which is positive, implying that the parabola opens upward), and the vertex occurs at point (-4, -1) as the minimum point:

The quadratic equation in vertex form is:

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

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with diameter 9 yards using the value 3.14 for pi
Ray Of Light [21]
Area of circle = pi r^, (r)radius is half the diameter so 9÷2=4.5 so in this scenario it would be 3.14×4.5^
3.14×4.5×4.5=63.6

circumference of circle= diameter×pi (3.14)
so 9×3.14=28.3

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases that measure 9.2 CM and 7.7 cm and height 6.8 cm
maria [59]
\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\
A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~
\begin{cases}
a,b=\stackrel{bases}{parallel~sides}\\
h=height\\
---------\\
a=9.2\\
b=7.7\\
h=6.8
\end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{6.8(9.2+7.7)}{2}

Solve the following system of equations by substitution and select the correct answer below:
Alexxx [7]
Okay so for substitution, chose one of  of the equations to solve for x. Let's solve for the second one. So you have 2x-8y=32.
Start by adding 8y to both sides:
 2x=8y+32.
Then you have to get x by itself so you divide both sides by 2 which will give you:
 x=4y+16.

Now you have:
6x-4y=36
x=4y+16 (this was 2x-8y=32)

Now, plug in the second equation to the first one. You would do so by plugging in the second equation to where you see x. You would have:
6(4y+16)-4y=36

Now, multiply the 6 with the 4y and 16. you would then have:
24y+96-4y=36.

Now, combine your like terms to get:
20y+96=36
Then subtract 96 to both sides:
20y=-60
Then divide both sides so that you have y all by itself:
y=-30!

You now have the answer for y, so now plug what you got for y into the other equation: x+4y=16: 
x+4(-30)=60
Solve for x:
x-120=60 
add 120 to both sides:
x=180!
so Your answer is Y=-30 and X=180

I hope this helped:)
