The parabola y=x^2y=x 2 y, equals, x, start superscript, 2, end superscript is reflected across the xxx-axis and then scaled vertically by a factor of 555. what is the equation of the new parabola? y=

ANSWER

The equation of the new parabola is

EXPLANATION

The given parabola has equation:

If this parabola is reflected in the x-axis, its equation becomes :

When this parabola is scaled vertically by a factor of 5, the equation becomes,

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

175

step-by-step explanation:

2 inches x 10 miles = 200 miles - 3 inches = 175
