1. The function

is a parabola of the form

. The the formula for the axis of symmetry of a parabola is

. We can infer from our function that

and

, so lets replace those values in our formula:





We can conclude that to the left of the line of symmetry the ball is reaching its maximum height, and to the right of the line of symmetry the ball is falling.
2. Lets check how much time the ball takes to reach its maximum height and return to the ground. To do that we are going to set the height equal to zero:



or


or

From our previous point we know that the ball reaches its maximum time at

, which means that <span>
it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 1.5 seconds to fall back to the ground.</span>
Explanation:
using the parabola formula:
y = a(x-h)² + k²
vertex = (h, k)
We are given a parebola equation of: y = x²+9
comparing both equations to get the vertex:
y = y
a = 1
(x-h)² = x²
x² = (x + 0)²
(x-h)² = (x + 0)²
h = 0
+k = +9
k = 9
The vertex of the parabola as (x, y): (0, 9)
All reals is the answer.
Since y =-9 graph is way below the absolute value graph. Meaning that y value of modulus is greater than the constant graph.
You can factor out a 5n to get
5n(4m-3)
