Answer:
using cos=adjacent/hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
in this case cos(60)=x/4√3
x=cos(60)*4√3
x=3.46
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.

Solve for c :
x⁴ + cx² + 100 = 0
cx² = -(x⁴ + 100)
c = - (x⁴ + 100)/x²
If x = 0, the right side is undefined and c would have no solution.
