Question

Very urgent... I need it right now.. please help me with explanation!

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Water height, H(g) = 8g^2 + 3g -4 - [9g^2 -2g -5] = 8g^2 + 3g -4 -9g^2 + 2g +5 = -g^2 +5g +1

b) g = 1

H(g) = -(1)^2 + 5(1) + 1 = -1 + 5 + 1 = 5

g=2

H(g) = -(2)^2 + 5(2) + 1 = -4 + 10 + 1 = 7

g=3

H(g) = -(3)^2 + 5(3) + 1 = -9 +15 +1 = 5

c) Greatest height

Find the vertex of the parabole

The vertex is at the mid point between the two roots.

To find the roots you can use the quadratic equation

The result is g = 5/2 + [√29]/2 and g = 5/2 - [√29]/2

The middle poin is 5/2 = 2.5

Now find H(2.5) = -(2.5)^2 + 5(2.5) + 1 = 7.5 ≈ 7.3

hope this helps
