Explain how you can prove your observations in question 3 using a traditional proof. You don't need to develop the steps of the proof; simply describe an approach that you might use. Which theorems might appear in your proof? (Hint: Use the two diagonals of the parallelogram to assist you in describing an approach.)

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