To determine which of the given coordinate pairs is a point on the parabola described by the equation y=2x224x15, we will substitute the x values from each pair into the equation and see if we get the corresponding y value.

  1. For (11,7): x=11 y=2(11)224(11)15=2(121)+26415=242+26415=491 y7

  2. For (2,47): x=2 y=2(2)224(2)15=2(4)4815=84815=55 y47

  3. For (11,37): x=11 y=2(11)224(11)15=2(121)26415=24226415=37 y=37

  4. For (2,15): x=2 y=2(2)224(2)15=2(4)4815=84815=55 y15

The only coordinate pair that is a point on the parabola is (11,37).

Please make it shorter

To check which coordinate pair lies on the parabola y=2x224x15:

  1. For (11,7): y=2(11)224(11)15=491(not 7)

  2. For (2,47): y=2(2)224(2)15=55(not 47)

  3. For (11,37): y=2(11)224(11)15=37(is 37)

  4. For (2,15): y=2(2)224(2)15=55(not 15)

The pair that lies on the parabola is (11,37).

shorter please

To verify which point lies on the parabola y=2x224x15:

  1. (11,7): y=491 (not 7)
  2. (2,47): y=55 (not 47)
  3. (11,37): y=37 (matches)
  4. (2,15): y=55 (not 15)

Point on the parabola: (11,37).
