Answer:

g(x) = (x-2)^2 -2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a = 1, h =2, k =-2

So then the vertex would be (h,k)=(2,-2)

And since the value for a is positive we know that the parabola open upward. We don't have a maximum defined since open upwards and the minimum point correspond to the vertex on this case (2,-2).

f(x)= -(x+4)^2 +2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a=-1, h =-4, k = 2

And since the value for a is negative we know that the parabola open downward. We don't have a minimum defined since open downwards and the maximum point correspond to the vertex on this case (-4,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the standard form for a parabola is given by the following equation:

y = ax^2 + bx +c

And the vertex form is given by this formula:

y = a(x-h)^2 +k

And we want to find the vertex and if we have a maximum or minimum for each function. Let's begin with g(x)

g(x) = (x-2)^2 -2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a = 1, h =2, k =-2

So then the vertex would be (h,k)=(2,-2)

And since the value for a is positive we know that the parabola open upward. We don't have a maximum defined since open upwards and the minimum point correspond to the vertex on this case (2,-2).

For the function f(x) we assume that we have the following equation:

f(x)= -(x+4)^2 +2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a=-1, h =-4, k = 2

And since the value for a is negative we know that the parabola open downward. We don't have a minimum defined since open downwards and the maximum point correspond to the vertex on this case (-4,2).

A cheetah can run at its top speed for about 25 seconds. Complete the table to represent a cheetah running at a constant speed.
AleksandrR [38]
X = 650 + 60t

The cheetah must arrive at the same place at the same time:

x = 90t

650 + 60t = 90t

30t = 650

t = 650/30 ≅ 21.7 s

It takes the cheetah a little more than 20 s running at 90 ft/s to reach the moving antelope, so assuming the antelope can maintain its speed of 60, it is safe.

If x =2 find the value of q in the equation 3x-4=x+q​
Effectus [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

given x=2

and the equation

3x - 4 = x + q

to find the value of q , you need to make q the subject in the equation as shown below

q= 3x-x -4

q=2x-4

but x= 2

so just substitute the value of x in the equation for the q

q = 2(2) - 4

q=4-4

q=0

therefore the value of q is 0
