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.

The graph of the function f(x) =x^2 is shown on the grid below. Graph the function g(x) =(x-2)^2 -4 in the interactive graph.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

shift it down by 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

by the placement of the -4 it can be determined that you would shift it according to the y axis

The formula a(x-h)^2 + k = y

h represents change in x, k represents change in y

-k means shift down
