<h2>Hello!</h2>

The graph is attached.

To graph a parabola we need to know the following:

- If the parabola is open upwards or downwards

- They axis intercepts (if they exist)

- The vertex position (point)

We are given the function:

f(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+4

Where,

a=-16\\b=64\\c=4

For this case, the coefficient of the quadratic term (a) is negative, it means that the parabola opens downwards.

Finding the axis interception points:

Making the function equal to 0, we can find the x-axis (t) intercepts, but since the equation is a function of the time, we will only consider the positive values, so:

f(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+4\\0=-16t^{2}+64t+4\\-16t^{2}+64t+4=0

Using the quadratic equation:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{64^{2}-4*-16*4} }{2*-16}\\\\\frac{-64+-\sqrt{64^{2}-4*-16*4} }{2*-16}=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{4096+256} }{-32}\\\\\frac{-64+-\sqrt{4096+256} }{-32}=\frac{-64+-(65.96) }{-32}\\\\t1=\frac{-64+(65.96) }{-32}=-0.06\\\\t2=\frac{-64-(65.96) }{-32}=4.0615

So, at t=4.0615 the height of the softball will be 0.

Since we will work only with positive values of "x", since we are working with a function of time:

Let's start from "t" equals to 0 to "t" equals to 4.0615.

So, evaluating we have:

f(0)=-16(0)^{2}+64(0)+4=4\\\\f(1)=-16(1)^{2}+64(1)+4=52\\\\f(2)=-16(2)^{2}+64(2)+4=68\\\\f(3)=-16(3)^{2}+64(3)+4=52\\\\f(4.061)=-16(4.0615)^{2}+64(4.0615)+4=0.0034=0

Finally, we can conclude that:

- The softball reach its maximum height at t equals to 2. (68 feet)

- The softball hits the ground at t equals to 4.0615 (0 feet)

- At t equals to 0, the height of the softball is equal to 4 feet.

See the attached image for the graphic.

Have a nice day!

8. Solve the system using elimination.<br> 3x - 4y = 9<br> - 3x + 2y = 9
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

3x−4y=9 −3x+2y=9

Add these equations to eliminate x: −2y=18

Then solve−2y=18

for y: −2y=18 −2y −2 = 18 −2 (Divide both sides by -2)

y=−9

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation: 3x−4y=9

Substitute−9for y in 3x−4y=9: 3x−(4)(−9)=9

3x+36=9(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+36+−36=9+−36(Add -36 to both sides)

3x=−27 3x 3 = −27 3 (Divide both sides by 3) x=−9

Answer: x=−9 and y=−9

Hope This Helps!!!

Y=2/3x-2(-3,4)
kodGreya [7K]

y = (2/3)x + 6

because the slope stays the same because it is parallel and to get the y intercept you plug in -3 for x into the equation (2/3)x +? =4 and ?=6 so that gives you the equation y = (2/3)x + 6

Which point lies on the line with point-slope equation y-3=4(x+7)
Arte-miy333 [17]

Point slope equation for point (h,k) and slope m is given by

y-k=m(x-h)

compare given equation with formula

we get h=-7, k=3

so the required point is (-7,3)
