Answer:

y = (-1/15)(x - 3)2 + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a parabola is

y = a(x - h)2 + k

If the halfway line if the origin, i.e. (x, y) = (0, 0), then the ball is kicked at (-12, 0) and it lands at (18, 0). By symmetry, the ball reaches its greatest height halfway between the starting and ending x values, or at x = 3. So, we know three points on this parabola: (-12, 0), (18, 0) and (3, 15).

Let us plug the first point into the generalized equation:

y = (x - h)2 + k

0 = (-12 - h)2 + k

So, k = -(-h - 12)2

or

k = -(h + 12)2, since we can factor out -1 and it becomes squared.

We can also plug (18, 0) into the generalized equation, and get:

0 = (18 - h)2 + k

So, k = -(18 - h)2

Since we have two expressions both equal to k, we can set them equal to each other and eliminate k:

-(h + 12)2 = -(18 - h)2

We can cancel out the negative signs and square out the terms on each side of the last equation.

h2 + 24h + 144 = h2 - 36h + 324

We can cancel out h2 and then solve for h.

24h + 144 = -36h + 324

60h = 180

h = 3

Therefore, the generalized equation becomes

y = a(x - 3)2 + k

We know that if x = 3, y = 15 from out third point.

15 = a(3 - 3)2 + k

So, k = 15

Thus, the equation becomes

y = a(x - 3)2 + 15

We can then pick one of the other points, plug in the corresponding x and y and then solve for a. I choose (18, 0).

0 = a(18 - 3)2 + 15

0 = 152a + 15

Divide this equation through by 15.

0 = 15a + 1

or

a = -1/15

Therefore, the generalized equation is

y = (-1/15)(x - 3)2 + 15

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Hello,

answer is 204 in base 10 or 21120 in base 3

Step-by-step explanation:

((202)_3)^2=(202*202)_3=(112211)_3\\\\((112)_3)^2=(112*112)_3=(21021)_3\\\\(112211-21021)_3=(211120)_3=(204)_{10}\\\\\\\\\\Other\ way\\\\((202)_3)^2=((20)_{10})^2=(400)_{10}\\\\((112)_3)^2=((14)_{10})^2=(196)_{10}\\\\(400-196)_{10}=(204)_{10}=(21120)_3

Simplify <br>99=2(-7b-3)+7​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

b=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

99 = 2(-7b + -3) + 7

Reorder the terms:

99 = 2(-3 + -7b) + 7

99 = (-3 * 2 + -7b * 2) + 7

99 = (-6 + -14b) + 7

Reorder the terms:

99 = -6 + 7 + -14b

Combine like terms: -6 + 7 = 1

99 = 1 + -14b

Solving

99 = 1 + -14b

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '14b' to each side of the equation.

99 + 14b = 1 + -14b + 14b

Combine like terms: -14b + 14b = 0

99 + 14b = 1 + 0

99 + 14b = 1

Add '-99' to each side of the equation.

99 + -99 + 14b = 1 + -99

Combine like terms: 99 + -99 = 0

0 + 14b = 1 + -99

14b = 1 + -99

Combine like terms: 1 + -99 = -98

14b = -98

Divide each side by '14'.

b = -7

Simplifying

b = -7
