Imagine right triangle with first leg to be the Chad length and second leg to be the Chad's shadow. Second leg has length 14.3 ft and since t<span>he straight-line distance from the top of Chad’s head to the end of the shadow creates a 23° angle with the ground, you could consider the trigonmetric function
</span>
\tan 23^{\circ}= \dfrac{\text{Chad's length}}{\text{Chad's shadow length}},

then \tan 23^{\circ}= \dfrac{\text{Chad's length}}{14.3}, \\ \text{Chad's length}=14.3\cdot \tan 23^{\circ}=6.1.<span />

The graph of a quadratic function contains (4,-64) and it's vertex is at the origin.write an equation for this function.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure what form you need this in, but it really doesn't matter, as you'll see in the final equation.  I used the vertex form and solved for a:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

We are given the vertex (h, k) as the origin (0, 0), and we have a point that the graph goes through as (4, -64).  That's our x and y.  Plugging in what we have:

-64=a(4-0)^2+0 gives us

-64 = 16a and

a = -4.  That means that the quadratic equation is

y=-4x^2  which is both vertex form and standard form here, no difference.

Which points define the solution set
Lemur [1.5K]

There is a line and a parabola in the graph.

So, we will get the solution set from the point of intersection of both line and parabola.

Notice that the parabola and the line intersecting at two points E(1, 5) and C(-0.5,2).

So, the solution set is E(1, 5) and C(-0.5,2).
