Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the vertex of a parabola is:

x = a (y-h) ^ 2 + k

Where the point (k, h) is the vertex of the parabola and "a"  is the coefficient of the squared term.

In this case we know that the vertex of this parabola is:

(-4, -1)

Then:

h=-1 and k=-4

So the equation is:

x = a (y+1) ^ 2 -4

We know that whe the y-value is 0, the x-value is 2.

This mean  that:

2 = a (0+1) ^ 2 -4

2 = a -4

a= 6

This is a parabola in vertex form,

x = a(y - p)^2 + q

a is the coefficient on y^2 we seek.  Since it's sideways we have p=-1, q=-4

x = a(y -1)^2 - 4

When y=0,

x=a - 4 = 2

a = 6

Answer: A

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

6 and 18 are common because 6x3=18. Remember the rule to multiply all numbers by 3. So multiply 10 by 3 and you will get 30. The total number of square tiles needed is 30 tiles. If you are putting it into a ratio it would be 18:30.
