Answer:
3 newtons to the left
Step-by-step explanation
since the arrows are pointing towards each other you have to subtract
5-2=3
Since five is the greatest number it will be pushing to the left
Part A
We have

. To solve for the x-intercept, we set f(x) equal to 0. That is

Take the square root of both sides,
The x-intercept is (-2,0).
To solve for the y-intercept, we set x=0. That is
The y-intercept is (0, 8)
The coordinates of the optimum point are actually the vertex which can be easily seen from the vertex form equation given above. The minimum point is
(-3, -1).
Part B.
We have

.
Factor out -2

Complete the square

Simplify

Part C
We have

.
The maximum height is 12.25 feet after 0.875 seconds from the time of the jump. The dolphin will be back in the water after 1.75 seconds. The graph of the jump is shown in the photo.
Answer:
(8,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
y and -y cancels out leaving you with "12x=96"
that simplifies to "x=8"
Then you substitute 8 into the "x" from either equation and y should equal 4
