General equation of parabola: y-k = a(x-h)^2
Here the vertex is at (0,0), so we have y-0 = a(x-0)^2, or y = ax^2
All we have to do now is to find the value of the coefficient a.
(1,2) is on the curve. Therefore, 2 = a(1)^2, or 2 = a(1), or a = 2.
The equation of this parabola is y = 2x^2.
Answer:
(a) = 0.32 or 8/25
(b) = 0.48 or 12/25
(c) = 4 Boards
Step-by-step explanation:
(a):
0.8 x 2/5
8/10 x 4/10
(8 x 4) / (10 x 10)
(32) / (100)
0.32 or 8/25
(b):
0.8 x 3/5
8/10 x 6/10
(8 x 6) / (10 x 10)
(48) / (100)
0.48 or 12/25
(c):
0.8 x 5
8/10 x 50/10
(8 x 50) / (10 x 10)
(400) / (100)
