Vertex: (-5,-2); parabola opens up;
General form of the equation for a vertical parabola opening up is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2; knowing that the vertex is at (-5,-2), we can write:
y+2 = a(x+5)^2. We need to find the value of the coefficient a.
From the graph we see that y is 10 when x is approx. -1 3/4 (or -7/4).
subst. these values into y+2 = a(x+5)^2, we get:
10 + 2 = a(-7/4 + 5)^2, or 12 = a(13/4)^2, or 1 = a(169/16).
Solving for a: a = 16/169 = 0.09, or approx 16/160, or 1/10. Unfortunately, this is not close to any of the four answer choices.
I thought it best to try again, and fortunately my second try was correct:
10+2 = a(13/4)^2, or (169/16)a. Thus, 12 = a(169/16)
12
Solving for a: a = ------------- = 1.14. The answer choice closest to this is 1.
169/16
Answer A is correct.
To calculate growth rate, start by subtracting the past value from the current value. Then, divide that number by the past value. Finally, multiply your answer by 100 to express it as a percentage.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The "population growth rate" is the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given time period, expressed as a fraction of the initial population. Population growth is based on four fundamental factors: birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration.
Annual Growth Rate of Population refers to the rate at which the number of individuals in a given popular increase over a year, expressed as a fraction of the initial popular of the previous years. The annual percentage growth rate of population is the percent growth divided by the number of years.
Answer:
If you have choices it is either -5 or 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you find two points, which mine were (0,2) and (-1,7). The slope formula is y2 - y1 divided by x2 - x1. So, im going to subtract 7 - 2, which is your y2 - y1, to get 5. Then, i'm going to subtract -1 - 0, which is your x2 - x1, to get -1. Then, you divide 5 by -1 to get -5. I Hope This Helps :)
