Answer:
r<9
Step-by-step explanation:
r/3 + 5 < 8
Subtract 5 from each side
r/3 + 5-5 < 8-5
r/3 < 3
Multiply each side by 3
r/3 *3 <3*3
r<9
let's set up an equation:
x-4=9
solve normally:
x=13
The path is in the shape of a parabola, the horizontal length is 24, so the middle point is at x=12, the symmetry line is x=12, the highest point (the vertex) is at (12,6)
the equation in vertex form is y=a(x-12)²+6
next, find a by using either one of the two points, the starting point (0,0) or the end point (0,24). obviously (0,0) is easier to calculate:
0=a(0-12)² +6
a=-1/24
so the quadratic equation is y=-
We need the picture or else we can’t do it
