Steve kicks a football into the air. The path that a ball takes can be described by the equation h=20t - 5t squared where h is t

he height of the ball in meters and t is time in seconds.
After how many seconds will the ball be 25 meters high?

Since h represents the height of the ball at any given time, t, let h = 25, such that the ball will be 25m high at t.

Now, we have 25 = 20t - 5t²
5t² - 20t + 25 = 0
t² - 4t + 5 = 0

\frac{4 +- \sqrt{16 - 20}}{2}

Since the discriminant is less than zero, there are no solutions.
Hence, the ball will never be 25m high.

Evaluate 5a+3b and (5+a)(3+b) for a=2 and b=4. How is the order of the steps different for the two expressions?
Lynna [10]
5a+3b
5(2)+3(4)
10+12
22

(5+a)(3+b)
(5+2)(3+4)
(7)(7)
49

The order of the steps differ for the two expressions because for the first expression, you multiply 5a and 3b first. Then, you add them together. However, for the second expression, you add what's inside the parenthesis first then multiply them. So, the order of the steps is the opposite of the other expression.

Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?
slamgirl [31]
Y1 is the simplest parabola.  Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4).  This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge.  We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this:  assume that the general equation for a parabola is 
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2.  Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is   y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or    y = (1/4)x - 4.  Take your pick!  Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.
