The height of water shooting from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = −4x2 + 24x − 29 where x is the distance from the

spout in feet. Complete the square to determine the maximum height of the path of the water.
−4(x − 3)2 − 29; The maximum height of the water is 3 feet.

−4(x − 3)2 − 29; The maximum height of the water is 29 feet.

−4(x − 3)2 + 7; The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.

−4(x − 3)2 + 7; The maximum height of the water is 3 feet.

Below is the solution:

f(x)=−4(x2−6x+9−9)−29

<span> (</span>x2−6x+9)=(x−3)(x−3)

f(x)=−4((x−3)2−9)−29

f(x)=−4(x−3)2−4(−9)−29

f(x)=−4(x−3)2+36−29

f(x=−4(x−3)2+7

f(x)=−4(x−3)2+7

That's the equation we got by completing the square.

y=a(x−h)2+k

That's the formula of a parabola in "vertex" form. Notice the similarity? The two are equal if we say

y=f(x)

a=−4

h=3

k=7


Therefore the answer is C, <span>−4(x − 3)2 + 7; The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.</span>

Answer:

Option 3 - y= -4(x-3)^2+7; The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The height of water shooting from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = -4x^2+24x-29 where x is the distance from the spout in feet.

To find : Complete the square to determine the maximum height of the path of the water.

Solution :

f(x) = -4x^2+24x-29

f(x) = -4(x^2-6x)-29

Completing the square by adding and subtracting (\frac{6}{2})^2=3^2=9 in the bracket,

f(x) = -4(x^2-6x+9-9)-29

f(x) = -4((x-3)^2-9)-29

f(x) = -4(x-3)^2+36-29

f(x) = -4(x-3)^2+7

The general vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k

On comparing,

a=−4, h=3, k=7

The maximum height of the water is given by y-intercept i.e. k,

The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.

Therefore, Option 3 is correct.

Solve the equation for t. (t-7)^2+18=9
Anika [276]

Answer:

t = 7 + 3i

Step-by-step explanation:

(t-7)^2 + 18 = 9

(t-7)^2 = 9 - 18

(t-7)^2 = -9

(t-7) = sqrt(-9) = |3| sqrt(-1)

t = 7 + 3i

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 4 cm 4 cm and 20 cm . 20 cm. Identify the correct pair of measures between which the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

I think what you meant to say is "If a triangle has 2 sides that are 4 cm and 20 cm, what are the possible lengths of the third side?"

Basically, when given 2 sides of a triangle, the third side must be GREATER  than the DIFFERENCE of the other 2 sides and LESS than the SUM of the other 2 sides.

difference = 16 cm

sum = 24 cm

So, the third side must be greater than 16 cm and less than 24 cm

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x+6y=-183x+6y=−18. Fully reduce your answer.
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of line is

3x+6y=-18

We need to find the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the given line.

The given equation can be rewritten as

3x+6y+18=0      ...(i)

If a line is defined as ax+bx+c=0, then the slope of the line is  

m=-\dfrac{a}{b}

In equation (i), a=3, b=6 and c=18. So, slope of the line is

m_1=-\dfrac{3}{6}=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Let m_2 be the slope of perpendicular line.

We know that product of two perpendicular line is -1.

m_1\cdot m_2=-1

(-\dfrac{1}{2})\cdot m_2=-1

Multiply both sides by -2.

m_2=2

Therefore, the slope of perpendicular line is 2.
