Vertex form:
y-k=a(x-h)^2
h=-2,k=-20,y=-12 when x=0
thus;
-12+20=a(0+2)^2
8=4a
a=2
Equation:
y+20=2(x+2)^2
y+20=2(x^2+4x+4)
f(x)=2(x^2+4x+4)-20
f(x)=2x^2+8x+8-20
f(x)=2x^2+8x-20
You need to find the least common denominator first which is 4. 3 3/4 can stay the same but you must have like denominators to add so change 1 1/2 to 1 2/4 by multiplying by 2/2. You know have like denominators and you can add whole numbers first 3+1=4 and then the fractions 3/4+2/4= 5/4 which is also 1 1/4. Now you add 4 so your answer is 5 1/4
Answer:
Pretty sure it would be the last one.
Not sure if you want me to do the work. All I can say is that it would be<em> very long.</em>
