Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x)=(x-a)(x-b). Pick integers other than one or zero for a and b. let a= 1 and b= 2 f(x)= (x-1)(x-2) = x²-2x-x+2 = x²-3x+2 (this is the one I have made and just need help with the other parts) Describe the direction of the parabola. (Hint: How can you tell if a parabola will open upwards or downwards) Determine the y-intercept. (Hint: Using your equation, set the x’s equal to zero and solve for y) Determine the zeros. (Hint: Using your equation, set y = zero, factor, and solve for x.

a) parabola opens upwards  

b) y-intercept    y = 2

c) x₁ = 1         x₂  =  2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² - 3x + 2

This  parabola is open upwards since the coefficient of x² is positive (1)

b) y-intercept is when  x = 0 then

y = (0)² - 3*(0) + 2

y-intercept    y = 2

to determine zeros,  we can proceed as follows

x² - 3x  + 2 = 0

Factoring that xpression

( x -1 ) * ( x - 2 ) = 0

Then either   x- 1  =  0   and    x₁ = 1        or

x  -  2  =  0      and       x₂  =  2

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
