Which of the equations below could be the equation of this parabola? Vertex
(0, 0)
0
10
ОА
A. x = - 1 2 3 4
B. y = - 1/2 x ²
C. x = 1 / 4²
Do y = x

the answer is "B"

the "a" (as in ax^2) is negative thus the parabola "goes downward"

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) has value 150 at x= 0

and 0 at x= 3

so d(f(x))/dt = slope = -150/3 = -50

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
