What is the equation in vertex form of a parabola with vertex (-2, -2) that opens downward and is stretched by a factor of 5? A) f(x) = −5(x + 2)^2 + 2
B) f(x) = −5(x − 2)^2 + 2
C) f(x) = 5(x + 2)^2 − 2
D) f(x) = −5(x + 2)^2 − 2

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
