Answer:
Shawn is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the quadratic function is g(x) = a(x - h)² + k
Here (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Since this parabola passes through (0, 0), (1, 9) and (-1, 9), axis of symmetry is x = 0 and the vertex is (0, 0).
Therefore, equation of the parabola will be,
g(x) = a(x - 0)²+ 0
g(x) = ax²
for a point (1, 9) which lies on the graph,
9 = a(1)²
a = 9
g(x) = 9x² (here a > 1)
Therefore, f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 9 to form g(x).
Shawn is correct.
Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify: |3 – 10| – (12 / 4 + 2)^2

Hope this helps!
Since no possible correct method is posted, I will suggest a couple.
Method 1: guess and check
Works well for simple problems involving integers like this one.
Victor's age must be zero or greater than one, say one.
Guess v=1, find m=v+6=7, check m=5v-2=5-2=3 no good.
we need to make v bigger
Guess v=2, find m=v+6=2+6=8, check m=5v-2=5*2-2=8 ✔
So v=2, m=8.
Method 2:
Solve the system of two equations.
since the left-hand sides is m in both equations, and since m=m, we just have to equate the right-hand sides to solve for v.
5v-2=v+6
Solve for v
5v-v = 6+2
4v=8
v=2,
so again, v=2, m=v+6=2+6=8.
The correct answer is C (-20) let me know if you want to know how I got that answer
