8. 3. In the figure below what is the distance between point A and B? A B Use the Pythagorean Theorem. 4 7

9.  A. 9  B. 10  C.  D. 14  E. 4. In the standard coordinate plane what is the distance between (-5, 2) and (1, -6)? Use the distance formula.

10. 4. In the standard coordinate plane what is the distance between (-5, 2) and (1, -6)? If you do not like the distance formula you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. 6 8 10

11. 5. 27 -2/3 = ?  A. -18  B.  C. 9  D.  E.

12. 6. The parabola below is a graph of which equation? (-2, 4) (-4, 0) (0, 0)  A. y = (x - 2) 2 + 4  B. y = (x + 2) 2 + 4  C. y = -(x - 2) 2 + 4  D. y = -(x + 2) 2 + 4  E. y = x 2 + 4x + 8

13. Plug (-2, 4) into choice C y = -(x - 2) 2 + 4 4 = -(-2 - 2) 2 + 4 4 = -(-4) 2 + 4 4 = -16 + 4 4 = -12 False 6. The parabola below is a graph of which equation? (-2, 4) (-4, 0) (0, 0) Because the parabola points down we know that the x 2 term will be negative. (Negative Frown Face)  C. y = -(x - 2) 2 + 4  D. y = -(x + 2) 2 + 4 Plug (-2, 4) into choice D y = -(x + 2) 2 + 4 4 = -(-2 + 2) 2 + 4 4 = -(0) 2 + 4 4 = -0 + 4 4 = 4 True
