The equation of a parabola with vertex at (h,k) is 
y=a(x-h)²+k

vertex isi at (0,0)

y=a(x-0)²+0
y=a(x)²
y=ax²
find a

we see that one point is (14,-74)
x=14 and y=-74

-74=a(14²)
-74=196a
divide both sides by 196
-37/98=a

the equation is 

y= \frac{-37}{98} x^2

If a building has an entry shape of a parabolic arch 74 ft high and 28 ft wide at the base as shown in the figure and then the vertex is at (0,0). The parabola is opening downward, so the equation to be used is x² = -4ay.  4a is equal to 28 and so the equation is x² = -28y

Choose the algebraic description that maps the image ΔABC onto ΔA′B′C′.
Mrac [35]
The answer would be (x,y) —> (x-1,y). the reasoning being that all of the points on the x axis move to the left by one unit, and all points on the y axis stay the same.

If 40 percent of a movie ticket costs $5.00 what is 20 percent of the cost of two tickets
Nikolay [14]
<u>Find cost of a ticket:</u>

40% = $5.00

1% =  $5 ÷ 40 = 0.125

100% = 0.125 x 100 = $12.50

The cost of a ticket is $12.50


<u>Find 20% of two tickets:</u>

Two tickets cost $12.50 x 2 = $25

20% of $25 = 0.25 x $25 = $5

Answer: 20% of two tickets cost $5

A golden rectangle is 32cm long.The ratio of length to width is (1 + square root of 5) :2. What is the width of the rectangle in
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Width = 16(√5) - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the golden rectangle is 32 cm long.

Thus, length = 32 cm

We are also told that the ratio of the length to the width is; (1 + √5):2

Thus;

If a length of (1 + √5) yields a width of 2

Then, a length of 32 cm would yield a width of; (32 x 2)/(1 + √5)

So corresponding width = 64/(1 + √5)

We want to reduce this width to it's simplest radical form which means the denominator should have no square root.

Thus, let's multiply top and bottom by (1 - √5);

Width = 64 x (1 - √5)/[(1 + √5) x (1 - √5)]

Width = 64(1 - √5)/(1 - 5)

Width = 64(1 - √5)/(-4)

Width = -16(1 - √5)

Width = 16(√5 - 1)

Width = 16√5 - 1
