Question

can someone help me determine if y=-x^2-1 makes y=0

Answer 1

I awnsered your other quetsion for you now hold on while I figure this one out

Answer 2

could you demonstrate what it means
idk what they mean
is there an x value you need to plug in and find if the result would be y = 0?

Answer 3

it asks detirmine if the parbola opens up or down (up a larger than 0 down a less than 0 a is -1 and the axis of symmytry

Answer 4

Use the slope form y=Mx+b to find the y intercept b b=0

Answer 5

Y=-x^2-1 makes y=0 I hope I helped you

Answer 6

so axis is on (0, 0)?

Answer 7

Yes it is

Answer 8

Thanks so much!

Answer 9

I used an app called math way to find the awnser

Answer 10

alright
y=-x^2-1
this is an even degree parabola
the leading coefficent is negative thus the parabola would be upside down

the axis of symmetry can be found using
-b/2a

the equation needs to be adjusted by the order of degrees
thus
y = -x^2 + 0x - 1

-b/2a
-0/-2
axis of symmetry would be zero

hope that helps
