To find:The equation of the parabola.
Answer to Problem 84E
The equation of parabola is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Sketch a parabola that satisfies the given conditions as shown below,
x-intercept: 6; y-intercept: 1; range: y
Formula used:
Calculation:
The equation of parabola be
Since, range is
The parabola passes through (6, 0) and (1, 0). This implies
Dividing the two equations, there is a rid of a. simplifying the expression gives us,
Using this, solve for a. Hence,
Thus, equation of parabola is
Plot a smooth curve passing through points (6, 0), (0, 1) and
Conclusion:
The equation of parabola is
