A volleyball reaches its maximum height of 13 feet, 3 seconds after its served. Which of the following quadratics could model th

e height of the vollyball over time after it is served. Select all that apply.
A: f(x)=2x^2+12x+5

B: f(x)=-2x^2+12x-5

C: f(x)=-2x^2-12x+5

D: f(x)=-2(x-3)^2+13

E: f(x)=-2(x+3)^2+13

Only selections B and D give a maximum height of 13 at t=3. However, both of those functions have the height be -5 at t=0, meaning the ball was served from 5 ft below ground. This does not seem like an appropriate model.

We suspect ...
• the "correct" answers are probably B and D
• whoever wrote the problem wasn't paying attention.

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intuitively it's a volleyball game reaching its maximum height, then we must discard the 1st option because of its parameter a >0, and whenever a>0 the parabola makes a curve, rather different than in a volleyball game.

Also, considering Vertex of this parabola by (-b/2a, -Δ/4a) given the fact that the question says the maximum height.

Taking

y= height in feet

x= time in second

Function Vertex (-b/2a, -Δ/4a)=(-3, -13)

A: f(x)=2x²+12x+5 False

B: f(x)=-2x²+12x-5 Function Vertex (-b/2a, -Δ/4a) = (3,23) False

C: f(x)=-2x²-12x+5  Function Vertex (-b/2a, -Δ/4a) = (-3,23) False

D: f(x)=-2(x-3)²+13 Function Vertex (-b/2a, -Δ/4a) = (3,13) True

E: f(x)=-2(x+3)²+13 Function Vertex (-b/2a, -Δ/4a) =(-3,13) False

ozzi

Answer:

2x as much

Step-by-step explanation:

First write as an equation:

<u>3000/32*3.75 =</u>

3000/16*3.75

Then that equals:

0.5

So that means her mom's car would be half as efficent as the new one

So what you would do is divide 988 by 26 and divide 731 by 17 and those two numbers you would add which gives you the amount of people that attended the performance

Solve for x. −18 = −2/3 x
vredina [299]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.

Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).

-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27

Nookie1986 [14]

f(x) + n - shift a graph of f n units up

f(x) - n - shift a graph of f n units down

f(x + n) - shift a graph of f n units left

f(x - n) - shift a graph of f n units right.

f(x) = x³, g(x) = (x - 2)³ - 3 = f(x - 2) - 3

2 units right and 3 units down.
