An electrical pole breaks at a height of 6m from its base due to a thunderstorm. Its top touches the ground at a distance of 8m

from the base of the pole to form a right angled triangle. Find the height of the pole.
m = metre

16m because if you use the pythagorean therum the rest of the pole is 10m long, which you add to the base of the pole.

Answer:

$y=-2\,(x+3)^2-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that they are asking you to write the equation of the parabola in vertex form, that is using the coordinates of the vertex $(x_v,y_v)$ in the expression:

$y-y_v=a\,(x-x_v)^2\\y=a\,(x-x_v)^2+y_v$

we can start by directly replacing the given vertex coordinates (-3, -3) in the expression, and then using the extra info on the point the parabola goes through in order to find the parameter $a$ :

$y=a\,(x-x_v)^2+y_v\\y=a\,(x+3)^2+(-3)\\y=a\,(x+3)^2-3\\-5=a\,(-2+3)^2-3\\-5=a\,(1)-3\\a=-5+3\\a=-2$

So, now we can write the full expression for the parabola:

$y=a\,(x+3)^2-3\\y=-2\,(x+3)^2-3$
