The vertex is at (4, -49) and the axis of symmetry is at x= 4.
To find the vertex of this equation, use this method:

a=2
b=-16
This will help get your x value and the axis of symmetry. To find the y value of the vertex, insert the x value, 4 to get your y value, -49.
Answer: 173.26 ft = 173 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
h tree: 76 ft
h man: 6 ft
As we can see on the sketch, they form a right triangle, so:
tan 22 = 76/y ⇒ 0.404 = 76/y ⇒ y = 76*0.404 ⇒ y = 188.11 ft
tan 22 = 6/x ⇒ 0.404 = 6/x ⇒ x = 6*0.404 ⇒ x = 14.85 ft
distance between the man and the tree = y - x = 188.11 - 14.85 = 173.26 ft
Hello,
f(x)=4(x+3)-5=4x+12-5=4x+7
y=4x+7==>c=(y-7)/4
f^(-1)(x)=(x-7)/4
f^(-1)( 3)=(3-7)/4=-4/4=-1
