The vertex of a parabola is at the origin, and its focus is at . Which function does the graph with these attributes represent? A.

B.

C.

D.

ANSWER

step explanation:

The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (2,4), and the point (3,6) is on the parabola. What is the equation of the parabola? 10 (3,6) (2,4) TO 10 10 A. y= 2(x - 2)2 + 4 B. x = 4(y - 3)2 + 1 C. y= 6(x - 2)2 + 4 D. y = 3(x - 4)2 + 2

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!

range =5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the range, we take the largest value and subtract the smallest value.

the largest value is 5

the smallest value is 0

the range is 5-0   =5
