Answer:

(0 , -a²)

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent at x = a and x = -a

y = x²     (a , a²) and (-a , a²) must be on the curve and tangent to curve

gradient dy/dx = 2x

slope (m) at x = a is <u>2a</u>     and slope (m') at x=-a is<u> -2a</u>

line1: (y - a²) / (x - a) = 2a

        y - a² = 2a (x - a)                           y = 2ax - a²   ... (1)

line2: (y - a²) / (x + a) = - 2a                   y = -2ax- a²   ... (2)

(1) - (2): 4ax = 0       a≠0    x = 0

y = - a²

I wish I did it right, or ....

For every 12 slices of pizza sold at Ping's Pizza Shop,
kaheart [24]

Answer:

3:5 Is the ratio because there are five pieces of cheese.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 12 pieces, then you can add 4 and 3 together and get 7 and then you can take 7 from 12 and get 5 which is how many cheese pieces there are. Now you know that there are 3 slices of pepperoni and 5 pieces of cheese. Therefore the ratio is 3:5.

A tunnel is in the shape of a parabola. The maximum height is 31 m and it is 13 m wide at the base as shown below.
yan [13]
Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a 
a = -31/42.25 
a = -124/169 

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.

Which table values can be defined by the function y=2x+3
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

beggining poit:3   second point (potentially):  1,5

Step-by-step explanation:

in the y intercept 3 is it so which ever has a 3 as the starting point there could be an option

for the 2x part that is the slope otherwise known as rise over run so what you do is that you turn it to a fraction over or under 1 meaning you rise for 2 and go to the right 1

rise 2

      _

run  1

in order to rise 2 you go up 2 from the y intercept(3) and in order to run you go right since its a positive

once you plot those two dots then you draw a line across
