The image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph. The image crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. The point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola. Which equation can be used to model the image of the lens? y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)

Given:

The image of a lens crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3.

The point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola.

To find:

The equation that can be used to model the image of the lens.

Solution:

If the graph of polynomial intersect the x-axis at c, then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

It is given that the image of a lens crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. It means (x+2) and (x-3) are factors of the function.

So, the equation of the parabola is:

         ...(i)

Where, k is a constant.

It is given that the point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola. It means the equation of the parabola must be satisfy by the point (-1,2).

Putting in (i), we get

Divide both sides by -4.

Putting in (i), we get

Therefore, the required equation of the parabola is .

Note: All options are incorrect.

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
