what is the equation in standard form of a parabola that contains the following points (-2, -20) (0,-4) (4,-20)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@micahm

OpenStudy (micahm):

y=-2x^2+4x-4

OpenStudy (micahm):

^ mean that number is on top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I know that much ^-^ it also means happy face eyes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thank you sooooo much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

id been suck for like 25 mins...

OpenStudy (micahm):

wow

OpenStudy (micahm):

is that all or is there more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

more...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the expression in factored form? x^2+14x+42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what is a factored form?

OpenStudy (micahm):

definition : Factored Form. Factored Form. The form of an algebraic expression in which no part of the expression can be made simpler by pulling out a common factor. ex. The factored form of the expression x3+x2-2 is x(x+2)(x-1).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soooo... x^2+14x+42 would be... how do you solve it?

OpenStudy (micahm):

what's the name of the lesson

OpenStudy (micahm):

@mathmate @paki

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lesson 4: Factoring Quadratic Expressions Connections Education ALG 2A Unit 5: Quadratic Functions and Equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2+13x+42 ... its a 13 not a 14

OpenStudy (micahm):

i hope this is right (x+7)(x+6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how did you get it? cuz I have like 4 questions like that one /.\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and idk how to do I...

OpenStudy (micahm):

i use this site http://www.freemathhelp.com/

OpenStudy (micahm):

any time is that all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 3 more... if you could help that would b spectacular

OpenStudy (micahm):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x^2+4x what is the factored form?

OpenStudy (micahm):

hope this is right 2x(3x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x^2+11x+6

OpenStudy (micahm):

(x+2)(4x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x^2-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it didn't say that ^2 I think itd look a whole lot less confusing...

OpenStudy (micahm):

(3x+2)(3x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's all, thank you sooo much! do you need any help on anything?

OpenStudy (micahm):
