Answer:
16 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The height function is given by:

The value of x, in seconds, for which the derivate of the height function is zero, is the time at which the maximum height occurs:

For x = 3 seconds, the height is:

The maximum height that the ball will reach is 16 meters.
I'm assuming that the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, BE=ED.
- 7x-2=x²-10
- x²-7x-8=0
- (x-8)(x+1)=0
- x = -1, 8
As distance must be positive, we reject the negative case, so x=8.
Thus, BE=ED=54.
You have two equations.
since the second is already isolated, sub in x-4 for every y in equation 1 so that
![x^{2} - 4 [(x-4)^{2}] =16 ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20-%204%20%5B%28x-4%29%5E%7B2%7D%5D%20%3D16%0A%20)
expand, collect like terms, factor to find x, then plug x value back into original equation to find y
I would consider the number 2
