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:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
4(6) - 7y = -18
24 - 7y = -18
-7y= -42
y= 6
Answer:
the "negative solution" is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number by n.
Then n^2 - 24 = 5n
We rewrite this in standard quadratic form:
n^2 - 5n - 24 = 0
This factors as follows; (n + 3)(n - 8) = 0
The roots are n = -3 and n = 8. Thus, the "negative solution" is -3
Answer:
2 + (7 ÷ 9)x = 5 ÷ 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
You can eliminate fractions by turning them into division problems!
2 + (7 ÷ 9)x = 5 ÷ 6
, we have
