Step-by-step explanation:
The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by ...
x = -b/(2a)
for f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c.
We see that the vertex is at x = 1, and we are given a = -16. Then we can find "b" from ...
1 = -b/(2(-16))
32 = b
We know the y-intercept of the equation is 5 (the starting height), so the equation must be ...
h(t) = -16t^2 +32t +5 . . . . . matches the last choice
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.
<h3>Distance</h3>The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:
17 m + 13 m = 30 m
You have traveled a distance of 30 m.
<h3>Displacement</h3>The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:
h = √(a² +b²)
h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401
At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.
