Answer:
<u><em>The length of AD is 32 feet</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportional distances </u>
When distances are proportions of others, we can express all of them as relative fractions until we reach some known distance and solve for the desired length
Let's call x the length of AD. Given C is the midpoint of AD, then
Given B is the midpoint of AC, then
If we know BC=8 feet
The length of AD is 32 feet
Answer: y = -3(x + )² +
,
,
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
First, you need to complete the square:
y = -3x² - 5x + 1
<u> -1 </u> <u> -1 </u>
y - 1 = -3x² - 5x
y - 1 = -3(x² +
y - 1 + -3() = -3(x² +
+
)

=
y - 1 - = -3(x +
)²
y - -
= -3(x +
)²
y - = -3(x +
)²
y = -3(x + )² +
Now, it is in the form of y = a(x - h)² + k <em>where (h, k) is the vertex</em>
Vertex = ,
