Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the balloon starts at (10, 0 )
it ends at 16,0)
in the middle it's at between 10 and 16 , so say about 13, where it reaches 27
so in the middle it's (13,27)
so ( 11, 9)
(12, 18)
got 13
(14, 18)
(15, 9)
got 16

The quadratic function given by:
is in vertex form. The graph of
is a parabola whose axis is the vertical line
and whose vertex is the point
. So:
To translate the graph of a function to the right, left, upward or downward we have:

By knowing this things, we can solve our problem as follows:
FIRST.
- Translating <em>11 units to the left:</em>

- Then translating<em> 5 units down:</em>

Since the new function is fatter, the factor we need to multiply the term
<em>must be</em> less than 1, to make the graph fatter. So, according to our options, there are two factors 1/2 and 2.
<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>b. f(x) = 1/2(x + 11)^2 - 5</em>
SECOND.
- Translating <em>8 units to the right:</em>

- Then translating<em> 1 unit down:</em>

As explained in the previous case, there are two factors 1/3 and 3, so we choose the first one.
<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>a. g(x) = 1/3(x - 8)^2 - 1</em>

Simply multiply or divide both the 20 and the 15 to get an equivalent ratio.
