The vertex is the high point of the curve, (2, 1). The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is
.. y = a*(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . for vertex = (h, k)

Using the vertex coordinates we read from the graph, the equation is
.. y = a*(x -2)^2 +1

We need to find the value of "a". We can do that by using any (x, y) value that we know (other than the vertex), for example (1, 0).
.. 0 = a*(1 -2)^2 +1
.. 0 = a*1 +1
.. -1 = a

Now we know the equation is
.. y = -(x -2)^2 +1

_____
If we like, we can expand it to
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +4) +1
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3

=========
An alternative approach would be to make use of the zeros. You can read the x-intercepts from the graph as x=1 and x=3. Then you can write the equation as
.. y = a*(x -1)*(x -3)
Once again, you need to find the value of "a" using some other point on the graph. The vertex (x, y) = (2, 1) is one such point. Subsituting those values, we get
.. 1 = a*(2 -1)*(2 -3) = a*1*-1 = -a
.. -1 = a
Then the equation of the graph can be written as
.. y = -(x -1)(x -3)
In expanded form, this is
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +3)
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3 . . . . . . same as above

nataly862011 [7]
I believe the answer would be 150.75 cm as Marks height. I got this by if Bradley is the tallest, he would be 152.0 and if Calvin is taller than Josh, who is the shortest, the only height left would be Marks at 150.75

Which step has the mistake in solving for roots?
REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 7x - 3 = 1

Step 1: 2x² - 7x - 4 = 0

Step 2: incorrect.

Use Quadratic Formula to solve for roots.

x = [7 ± √(7² – 4·2(-4))] / [2·2]

 = [7 ± √81] / 4

 = [7 ± 9] /4

 = -0.5, 4
