Astudent draws two parabolas on graph paper. both parabolas cross the x-axis at (-4, 0) and (6,0). the y-intercept of thefirst parabola is (0, –12). the y-intercept of the second parabola is (0-24). what is the positive difference between the avalues for the two functions that describe the parabolas? write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (8, 6) and (2,0), what is the standard form equation of the circle? a) (x + 5)2 + (y + 3)2 = 18 (x + 5)2 + (y + 3)2 = 3.72 (x - 5)2 + (y - 3)2 = 18 d) (x - 5)2 + (y - 3)2 = 32
