Question

HURRY!!!! 20 POINTS!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Since $f(12) = 10$, the ball is going to pass through the hoop.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function.

$f(x) = -0.125x^{2} + 1.84x + 6$.

If the center of the hoop is located at (12, 10), will the ball pass through the hoop?

This is going to happen if $f(12) = 10$. We have to apply f(12) in the equation and verify the result. So:

$f(x) = -0.125x^{2} + 1.84x + 6$.

$f(12) = -0.125*12^{2} + 1.84*12 + 6 = 10$.

Since $f(12) = 10$, the ball is going to pass through the hoop.

Answer 2

1. in this exercise you  must substitute the value of  of x = 12  in the equation of the parable given, if the result is 10 then the ball pass through the hoop
2. Y = (-.125)(12)^2+ (1.84)(12)+6 = -18+22.08+6 = 10.06≅10 , of  this form it is demonstrated, that the ball pass through the  hoop
