Please find which quadratic equation matches the graph with work attached

Mathematics

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we know that the function must be negative due to its shape. This means that the answer cannot be B

Next we can use the equation x=\frac{-b}{2a} that is used in order to find the vertex of the parabola.

A)

f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\a=-1,b=6,c=7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\x=3

As the vertex is at x=3 on the graph, this one could be a contender.

C)

f(x)=-x^2+6x-7\\a=-1,b=6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\\\x=3

This also could be the equation

D)

f(x)=-x^2-6x-7\\\\a=-1, b=-6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{6}{-2} \\\\x=-3

This rules option D out.

For this last step, we can look at where the zeroes would be for each equation. (These values are irrational, so we cannot look at specific number)

A)

f(x)=-(x^2-6x-7)

As this equation has a negative value for c, this means that one zero must be positive and the other must be negative.

This means that option A can be ruled out

C)

f(x)=-(x^2-6x+7)

As this equation has a positive value for c, this means that both of the zeroes must be positive. This means that it is the only one that fits all of the criteria.

One day at 3:00 AM the temperature was -22 in Kodiak Alaska. At 11:00 AM the temperature was 42 degrees. What was the average ch
dolphi86 [110]
It is 8 hours so you would do 22+42 and get 64. You would then divide 64 by 8 and get 8 degrees per hour.

If an object is projected upward from the top of a 144 ft building at 112 ft per sec, its position (in feet above the ground) is
Mandarinka [93]

When it hits the ground the height would be 0.

Set h to 0 and solve for t ( time)

0 = -16t^2 + 112t + 144 divide both sides by -16:

T^2 -7t -9

Factor the polynomial :

( t- 8.1) (t+1.1

Solve for t setting each equation to 0:

T = 8.1 or t = -1.1

Time has to be positive, so the answer is

8.1 seconds

Depending on how everything gets rounded it could also be 8 seconds.
