First write it in vertex form :-
y= a(x - 2)^2 + 3 where a is some constant.
We can find the value of a by substituting the point (0.0) into the equation:-
0 = a((-2)^2 + 3
4a = -3
a = -3/4
so our equation becomes y = (-3/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3
The pattern is - 8 so the answer is 12.
2 2/4 is the correct answer
(d(5) -d(3))/(5 -3) = (350 -126)/2 = 112 . . . . . meters/second
112 m/s; it represents the average speed of the object between 3 seconds and 5 seconds
