Problem
Solution
For this case we know that the vertex is given by (3,6) and the genera equation for a parabola is given by:
y= a(x-h)^2 +k
Where h = 3, k=6 and replacing we have:
y= a(x-3)^2 +6
And we can find the value of a with the point given x= 4, y=4
4= a(4-3)^2 +6
4= a +6
a= 4-6=-2
And the correct equation would be:
d. y= -2(x-3)^2 +6
Height of the wall is 27 m.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let the height of the wall = h
Length of the ladder = 9 m
Angle of elevation = 60°
Ladder rests at 9 m below a vertical wall.
So, length of the wall upto which the ladder rests = h - 9
We know,
Cos Ф = base/ hypotenuse
cos 60° = length of the ladder / height of wall upto which the ladder rests
So,
h - 9 = 18
h = 27
Therefore, height of the wall is 27 m
