Write the equations in graphing form, then state the vertex of the parabola or the center and radius of the circle.
1 answer:
All we need is to put this form in the vertex form f(x) = (ax+b)^2 + c
So we have <span>f (x)= 3x^2+12x+11 ....
Let's complete the square (if you aware of it)
</span><span>
f(x)= 3x^2+12x+11 = 3(x^2+4x)+11 = 3(x^2+4x+4-4)+11
=</span><span> 3([x^2+4x+4]-4)+11 = 3[(x+2)^2-4]+11 =3</span><span>(x+2)^2 - 12 +11 = 3</span><span><span>(x+2)^2 -1
so our form would be:
Here is a parabola with vertex of (-2,-1) and with positive </span> slope (concave up)
</span>

Answer:
389 feets apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Building A
Height = 400feets
Angle of elevation = 70°
Building B:
Height = 300 feets
Angle of elevation = 52°
Distance from the foot of building A to where Jonny is standing = x (see attached picture)
Using trigonometry :
Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent
Tan 70 = 400/ x
2.7474774x = 400
x = 145.58809 feets
Distance from the foot of building B to where Jonny is standing = y (see attached picture)
Using trigonometry :
Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent
Tan 52 = 300/ y
1.2799416y = 300
y = 145.59
y = 234.38568 feets
x + y = distance between the two buildings
(145.58809 + 234.38568) feets
= 379.97377
= 380 feets apart
