Pleas I need help now

Are 4/16 and 0.25/2 equivalent numbers? If so, explain how they are.

Two fractions are equivalent if the product of the numerator of the first and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first.
4 x 2 ___ 16 x 0.25
8 is not equal to 4
Thus, they are not equivalent.

A long jumper lifts off 3 m after starting his run, and lands 6 m later. When he is 8 m from the start line, he is 5 cm above an

Answer:

The equation of the parabola that models the path of the long jumper through the air is $y = -x^{2}+12\cdot x -27$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we know that parabolas are second-order polynomials and every second-order polynomials, also known as quadratic functions, can be constructed by knowing three different points of the curve. The standard form of the parabola is:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Horizontal distance from the start line, measured in meters.

$y$ - Height of the long jumper, measured in meters.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Polynomial constants, measured in $\frac{1}{m}$ , dimensionless and meters, respectively.

If we know that $(x_{1},y_{1}) = (3\,m, 0\,m)$ , $(x_{2},y_{2}) = (8\,m, 0.05\,m)$ and $(x_{3}, y_{3}) = (9\,m, 0\,m)$ , this system of linear equations is presented below:

$9\cdot a + 3\cdot b + c = 0$ (Eq. 1)

$81\cdot a + 9\cdot b + c = 0$ (Eq. 2)

$64\cdot a + 8\cdot b + c = 0.05$ (Eq. 3)

The coefficients of the polynomial are, respectively:

$a = -\frac{1}{100}$ , $b = \frac{3}{25}$ , $c = -\frac{27}{100}$

The equation of the parabola that models the path of the long jumper through the air is $y' = -\frac{1}{100}\cdot x^{2}+\frac{3}{25}\cdot x -\frac{27}{100}$ .
