The function f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t

. Write f(t) in the vertex form a(x − h)^2 + k, where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t).
A - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground
B - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
C - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground
D - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground

Answer:

C - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're asked to rewrite the given equation f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 in the form f(t) = a(t - h)^2 + k (which is known as the "vertex form of the equation of a parabola.")  Here (h, k) is the vertex and a is a scale factor.

Let's begin by factoring 4 out of all three terms:

f(t) = 4 [ t^2 - 2t + 6/4 ]

Next, we must "complete the square" of t^2 - 2t + 6/4; in other words, we must re-write this expression in the form (t - h)^2 + k.

(To be continued)

Find the volume of the rectangular prism. Express your answer as a simplified mixed number.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

414 9/16 m³

414\frac{9}{16}m^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a Rectangular prism is calculated as Length × Width × Height

From the attached diagram,we can see that

The length = 8 3/8 m

The width = 6 m

The height =8 1/4 m

Converting the mixed fraction to improper fraction in other to simplify it better

The length = 67/8 m

The height = 33/4 m

The volume of the rectangular prism =

67/8 m × 6m × 33/4m

= (13266/32)m³

= 6633/16 m³

= 414 9/16 m³

= 414\frac{9}{16}m^{3}

Please, I need help with my homework. I not asking anybody to do it, but I need help for it.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1) x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x + 7 + x + 11 = 14

 2x + 18 = 14

        2x = 14 - 18

     2x =  -4

       x = -4/2 = -2
