First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.
If we need the vertex to be at 
, the equation will contain a 
term.
If we start with 
we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at and a maximum of 0.
So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be 
We have
Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at 
, because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want
such that:
Plugging these values gets us
As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.
Answer:
5F + -9 C= 160 39°F = 3.9
Step-by-step explanation:
A Table showing Freezing Temperatures in degrees with 2 columns and 6 rows. The First row, F, has the entries, negative 13, negative 4, 5, 14, 23. The second column, C, has the entries, negative 25, negative 20, negative 15, negative 10, negative 5.
The table shows temperatures below freezing measured in different units. Complete the equation in standard form to represent the relationship between F, a temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit, and C, a temperature measured in degrees Celsius.
5F + -9 C = 160
39°F = 3.9°C rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree
, we have
