A student draws two parabolas on graph paper. Both parabolas cross the x-axis at (-4, 0) and (6.0). The y-intercept of the first parabola is (0,–12). The y-intercept of the second parabola is (0, -24). What is the positive difference between
the a values for the two functions that describe the parabolas ? Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest
tenth.

∆a = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

parabolas cross the x-axis at (-4, 0) and (6, 0)

y = a(x + 4)(x - 6)

At the y-intercept x = 0

y =  a(0 + 4)(0 - 6)

y = -24a

-----------------------

y-intercept of the first parabola is (0,–12)

-12 = -24a

a = 1/2

-----------------------

y-intercept of the second parabola is (0, -24)

-24 = -24a

a = 1

----------------------

What is the positive difference between the a values

∆a = 1 - 1/2

∆a = 1/2

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.

answer: answer is c!

ok i got to organize the

3/15 and 12/55

3*

aha

3*4 equals 12 but not

a: no

b:

8/24 12/35

no

gautie

it's c

5/18 = 25/90

5*5=25

18*5 = 90

hope that you!

one more happy customer!
