Question

I need help with parabola

Answer 1

Do you have a specific question?

Answer 2

whats is your question?

Answer 3

There is a vertex.....The vertex is the coordinates of the max

Answer 4

Looks like the vertex is (2,3)

Answer 5

well, I think I have part of it right, but what is the point in ordered form

Answer 6

I just gave you the ordered pair of the point: (2,3)

To find the equation you have to first find the points where x = 0,
Then write it it in the form of (x - a)(x - b), then multiply it out

Answer 7

so (x-2)(x-3)?

Answer 8

Yes, that looks right

Answer 9

let me check

Answer 10

Well, unfortunately, the zeroes are not exact...But you can approximate it by using decimals...That looks like the best that can be done

Answer 11

ok, the problem has a maximum value? correct

Answer 12

Yes, of course it has a max value

Answer 13

and is it a maximum value because it opens down?

Answer 14

I have never had algebra before and I am in college level 2, I must have been crazy

Answer 15

the axis of symmetry is 2 but how do I write that in equation

Answer 16

Actually, after a closer look, I realize that it's (x-5.5)(x+1.5)

Answer 17

I can tutor you by the way

Answer 18

ok, but I still don't understand...lol I have a headache right now..lol

Answer 19

Let me see if I can figure this out

Answer 20

did you see the answers I came up with in my work sheet?

Answer 21

Yes, I saw that

Answer 22

am I close?? or on the right track, the teacher sent me comments that I ahve things wrong, do you want to see them?

Answer 23

For your first problem, make sure to explain why it's a max value more. You should give the point in ordered pair form for the maximum to make sure you give the x and y values. Think about the vertex question again- there is ALWAYS a vertex for a parabola, otherwise it's not a parabola. The axis of symmetry is 2, but it should be written in the form of the equation of a line. For the last part, your a bit off. Check out this website for more help

Answer 24

Well, I realize that the binomials could have co-efficients multiplied by them

Answer 25

english? lol

Answer 26

Yeah, you definitely need a tutor

Answer 27

hahahahah...

Answer 28

I have gotten through 3 weeks I am in my 4th and 2 left
