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.

Suppose that start-up companies in the area of biotechnology have probability 0.2 of becoming profitable, and that those in the
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.2

Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.15

2. Assume the companies function independently What is the probability that both companies become profitable?

We will answer this question, assuming these are independent events, this way:

Probability that both companies become profitable = Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable * Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable

Replacing with the values given, we have:

Probability that both companies become profitable = 0.2 * 0.15 = 0.03

<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>

If RT = 6 and RS = 9, then RX =<br> A - sqrt(54)<br> B - 13.5<br> C - 7.2<br> D - 4
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Option D RX=4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<em>In the right triangle RTS</em>

The cosine of angle TRS is equal to

cos(TRS)=RT/RS

substitute

cos(TRS)=6/9 -----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle RTX</em>

The cosine of angle TRX is equal to

cos(TRX)=RX/RT

substitute

cos(TRX)=RX/6 -----> equation B

∠TRS=∠TRX -----> is the same angle

Match equation A and equation B

6/9=RX/6

RX=6*6/9=4 units
