Answer:
y=-2x^2-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The parabola is wider than it's parent function, y = x^2. Therefore the coefficient, of x^2 (when you refer to quadratic equations it's a) should be greater than 1. Let's take 2.
y = 2x^2
Now it is reflected across the x-axis, so the equation turns to y = -2x^2. The vertex is shifted down 4. Note that it is shifted down, along the y-axis. This makes 'c' (again quadratic equations) -4.
Final Equation: y=-2x^2-4
Answer:
16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the situation above, it forms into a right triangle. Therefore we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem. We will use the formula below:
c = √( a² + b²)
In the problem above, the ladder acts as the hypotenuse denoted by c. It has a length of 20 ft. While the base denoted by b is 12 ft. Therefore, we need to solve for a. We will derive the formula above.
c² = a² + b²
a² = c² - b²
a = √( c² - b² )
a = √( 20² - 12² )
a = 16
The unit is in ft.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I hope it helps.
A proportion box can be used to solve this problem. First, we need to compute the difference or change in the original amount of visitors Alec had (in February) and the new amount of visitors (in March).
1,525 - 1, 385 = 140
We place this amount (140) in the top left of our box, and we place the original amount (1,525) in the bottom left of our box. We are looking for the percentage decrease, so that box in the upper right will stay empty. The number 100 always goes in the bottom right of our percent proportion box.
(The attached image will show an example of how to set this up).
Our last step is to cross multiply and divide.
140 x 100 = 14,000
14,000 ÷ 1,525 = 9.18
So, the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March was 9.18%.
Hope this helps with the answer ;)
