<u>Answer:
</u>
f(x) = 3(x+2)(x-2)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:
</u>
We are given the following the quadratic function and we are to rewrite it in intercept or factored form:
We can factorize the given function so taking the common factors out of it to get:
The term
is in the form
so it can further be factorized to give:
Therefore, the factored form of the given quadratic function is f(x) = 3(x+2)(x-2).

It’s 22/3 I think so that’s the answer
To find the slope use the Rise over Run rule
It rises 2 units and runs 1 unit, so your slope is
2 or 2/1
To find the y-intercept just find where the line crosses the y-axis
it crosses at the -4 mark
Your slope is 2 and y-intercept is -4
Using the slope concept, it is found that the thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem, we have that:
- The vertical distance is the height h.
- The horizontal distance is of 3 miles, as the sound takes 5 seconds to travel 1 mile, and it took 15 seconds.
Hence:
tan(65º) = h/3.
h = 3 x tan(65º)
h = 6.43 miles.
The thundercloud is 6.43 miles above the ground.
