Quadratic is in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0
so distribute and stuff and simplify
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac
(x+2)^2+5(x+2)-6=0
remember order of opertaions
(x+2)(x+2)+5(x+2)-6=0
x^2+4x+4+5x+10-6=0
add like terms
x^2+9x+8=0
Answer:
-a + b
Step-by-step explanation:
Implicit differentiation
chain rule is important here
I'll show the steps partially




now evaluate for (-2,2)
x=-2 and y=2



that's it, simplest form
Answer:
A function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is 
Step-by-step explanation:
General equation of parabola in vertex form 
y represents the height
x represents horizontal distance
(h,k) is the coordinates of vertex of parabola
We are given that The ball travels to a maximum height of 12 feet when it is a horizontal distance of 18 feet from the player's hands.
So,(h,k)=(18,12)
Substitute the value in equation
---1
The ball leaves the player's hands at a height of 6 feet above the ground and the distance at this time is 0
So, y = 6
So,
6=324a+12
-6=324a


Substitute the value in 1
So,
Hence a function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is
