D=rt
r=(boatrate+riverrate)=(x+2)mph

d=528ft=528/5280mi=1/10mi
t=1/3hr
remember to keep the same units
so

1/10=(x+2)(1/3)
times both sides by 3
3/10=x+2
minus 2 or 20/10
-17/10=x
-1.7=x
it would be going -1.7mph (means going backwards)

Find the equation of the quadratic function with vertex (– 2, – 6) that goes through the point (-4, -18)
torisob [31]

Answer:

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x+2)^2 -6

-18 = a(-2)^2 - 6

-12 = 4a

a = -3

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6

Pythagoras theorem: leg 1 squared + leg 2 squared = hypotenuse squared

In the diagram, the triangle has angles 90 and 45. So the other angle in the triangle must be 45 degrees as well.  (180 - 90 -45 = 45)

This means it is an isosceles triangle (since two angles are the same), so the two legs have the same length.

So we can say that length of leg1 = x, and the length of leg2 also equals x

Now let's use pythagoras' theorem:

leg1 = x

leg2 = x

hypotenuse = 16

x^2 + x^2 = 16^2

      2x^2 = 16^2

      2x^2  = 256

        x^2 = 128

        x = √(128)

        x = 8√2
