Question

Red bird starts his flight from points (10,0). His flight path reaches a maximum height of 18 yards and lands at points (38,0).

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 18 yards

2) x = 24

3) 36 yards

4) y = (-9/98)(x - 24)² + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The path is symmetrical about x = h

h = (10+38)/2 = 24

x = 24

Distance = 18 + 18 = 36

Vertex: (24,18)

y = a(x - 24)² + 18

At t = 10, y = 0

0 = a(10 - 24)² + 18

a = -18/14²

a = -18/196 = -9/98

y = (-9/98)(x - 24)² + 18
