Answer: The function is y=-\frac{28}{625}(x-35)^2+30.

Explanation:

It is given that Michael Daniels, is standing on his own 10-yard line. He throws a pass toward the opposite goal line. The football is 2 yards above the ground when the quarterback lets it go.

It follows a parabolic path. Reaching its highest point, 30 yards above the ground. It is caught 50 yards downfield at a point 2 yards above the ground.

So, the initial point is (10,2) and the other point is (60,2).

The height function of a football represents a downward parabola. The maximum point of the function is called vertex. So the vertex is (h,30).

The two point (10,2) and (60,2) have same y-coordinate, therefore the function is maximum at the midpoint of both points.

midpoint=(\frac{10+60}{2}, \frac{2+2}{2})=(35,2)

So, the function is maximum at x=35. Hence the vertex is (35,30)

The standard form of the parabola is,

y=a(x-h)^2+k

Where (h,k) is vertex and a is scale factor.

Since vertex is (35,30).

y=a(x-35)^2+30

The initial point is (10,2).

2=a(10-35)^2+30

-28=625a

a=-\frac{28}{625}

So the function of height is.

y=-\frac{28}{625}(x-35)^2+30

The graph of the function is shown below.

Which function is the inverse of f(x) =2x +3
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

 -1

f     (x) = x/2 - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

I choose to address this question by actually finding the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 3.

1) replace f(x) with y:  y = 2x + 3

2) interchange x and y:  x = 2y + 3

3) solve this result for y:  2y = x - 3 , or  y = (x - 3)/2.  This is the same as the second answer choice.  Label this result as

 -1

f     (x) = x/2 - 3/2

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.1/2(x+5)^2+2=42.5
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Roots are [4, -14}.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 (x+5)^2 + 2 = 42.5

Work out the square of the parentheses:

1/2 ( x^2 + 10x + 25) + 2 = 42.5

Multiply the parentheses by 1/2:

1/2 x^2 + 5x + 12.5 + 2 = 42.5

Subtract 42.5 from both sides of the equation:

1 /2x^2 + 5x +14.5 - 42.5 = 0

Simplify:

1/2 x^2 + 5x - 28 = 0

Multiply through by 2 to get rid of the 1/2:

x^2 + 10x - 56 = 0

Factor:-

(x + 14)(x - 4) = 0

Either x + 14 = 0 giving x = -14.

or x - 4 = 0 giving x = 4.
