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

An arithmetic sequence with a thrid term of 8 and constant difference of 5
olga nikolaevna [1]
\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=5\\
a_3=8\\
n=3
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5\implies 8=a_1+10
\\\\\\
\boxed{-2=a_1}
\\\\\\
a_n=-2+(n-1)5

Please answers all these questions for me need help too pass plz help☺
vodka [1.7K]

Please take 1 minute, and really read the example solution
under problem #12.  All of the other eight problems on the
sheet are solved in exactly the same way:

Multiply each side of the equation by the denominator of
the fraction ... the number under the variable (the letter).

This easy step will get you the answer to each of the
eight problems.

I can't help noticing that the title of the sheet is 'extra PRACTICE' .
If someone handed you the answers, then you would not get the
practice.  That would be just like stealing from you, and would be
just plain mean.
