Write an equation of the parabola in intercept form with x-intercepts of 12 and -6; and an axis of symmetry of (14, 4). show work!

Intercept form is: y = a(x - p)(x - q)  

It is given that:  p = 14, q = -6, x = 14, y = 4

4 = a(14 - 12)(14 - (-6))

4 = a(2)(20)

4 = 40a

y = (x - 14)(x + 6)

t = 3

step-by-step explanation:

put t = 3 in this expression :

(3²-1)(3²-2)(3² - 3)(3² - 4) = 8×7×6×5 = 56×30 = 1680

part a

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value
