Answer:

$f(x)=6(x-2)^2-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in vertex form is

$f(x)=a(x-2)^2 - 4$

Substituting in the coordinates (1,2) to find a,

$2=a(1-2)^2 - 4 \\ \\ 2=a-4 \\ \\ a=6 \\ \\ \therefore f(x)=6(x-2)^2-4$

If a 30 foot ladder is positioned so that the bottom of the ladder is 1/4 of its length away from the wall, how far up the wall

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

29.05 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the concept of pythagoras theorem, here we have the base and hypotenuse given hence we need to find the third dimension, assuming the wall is perfectly straight and forms a right angle with the bsse of the ladder. Here, $c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$ and making a the subject of the formula then $a=\sqrt {c^{2}-b^{2}}$ and substituting 30 ft for c and 0.25*30=7.5 ft for b then $a=\sqrt {30^{2}-7.5^{2}}=\sqrt {843.75}=29.047375096555626\approx 29.05 ft$

If the product of nine tenths and eight tenths is subtracted from the sum of seven tenths and six tenths,what os the difference?

agasfer [191]

Product = multiply
Sum = addition
So 9 tenths * 8 tenths = 72 tenths
7 tenths + 6 tenths = 13 tenths
72 tenths - 13 tenths = 59 tenths or 5 and 9 tenths.
