$\frac{2}{9}$ - $\frac{7}{12}$
Make the two fractions have common denominators. 9 and 12 both fit into 36, so multiply the top and bottom of $\frac{2}{9}$ by 4 and $\frac{7}{12}$ by 3.

$\frac{2}{9}$ ⇒ $\frac{8}{36}$
$\frac{7}{12}$ ⇒ $\frac{21}{36}$

Now that both fractions have common denominators, you can subtract them easily. Subtract the numerators (8 - 21) and keep the denominators the same.

$\frac{8}{36}$ - $\frac{21}{36}$ = $\frac{-13}{36}$

a = -13
b = 36

Answer:

The equation that describes the path of the water balloon is:

$y =-\frac{1}{10}\cdot (x-10)^{2}+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the water balloon is represented by quadratic functions. Tommy launches a water balloon from $A(x,y) = (0\,ft, 5\,ft)$ and hits Arnold at $B(x,y) = (20\,ft, 5\,ft)$ . Given the property of symmetry of quadratic function, water ballon reaches its maximum at $C(x,y) = (10\,ft,15\,ft)$ , which corresponds to the vertex of the standard equation of the parabola, whose form is:

$y = a\cdot (x-h)^{2}+k$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$a$ - Vertex parameter, measured in $\frac{1}{ft}$ .

$h$ , $k$ - Horizontal and vertical components of the vertex, measured in feet.

$x$ , $y$ - Horizontal and vertical location of the ball, measured in feet.

If we know that $x = 0\,ft$ , $y = 5\,ft$ , $h = 10\,ft$ and $k = 15\,ft$ , the vertex parameter is:

$5\,ft = a\cdot (0\,ft-10\,ft)^{2}+15\,ft$

$a = \frac{5\,ft-15\,ft}{(0\,ft-10\,ft)^{2}}$

$a = - \frac{1}{10}\,\frac{1}{ft}$

The equation that describes the path of the water balloon is:

$y =-\frac{1}{10}\cdot (x-10)^{2}+15$
