Flying fish use their pectoral fins like airplane wings to glide through the air. Suppose a flying fish reaches a maximum height

of 5 ft after flying a horizontal distance of 33 ft. Write a quadratic function y=a(x-h)^2+k that models the flight path assuming the fish leaves the water at (0,0). Describe how the changing value of a,h, or k affects the flight path

The flight is in the shape of a parabola with a vertex 5 feet above the water and  1/2 * 33 = 16.5 feet horizontally from the point of leaving the water

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

where  (h,k)  is the vertex of the  parabola and here it is (5 , 16.5), so we have the function:-

y = a(x - 16.5)^2 + 5

when x = 0 y = 0  so

0 = a(-16.5)^2 + 5

which gives a = -0.018365

So our function for the flight path is

y = -0.018365(x - 16.5)^2 + 5     Answer

Answer:

Equation: y= -0.00459*(x-33)^{2} + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the value as height in axis y, and horizontal distance in axis x

y=a*(x-h)^{2}+k\\  h=33\\k=5\\y=a*(x-33)^{2}+5

X=0, Y=0

y=a*(x-33)^{2}+5\\ 0=a*(0-33)^{2}+5\\a=-\frac{5}{33^{2} } =-0.00459

In the figure can see the motion of the fish while flying like airplane

Is there any other answers? To me, none of those look correct. If you had -3 and substituted it into the equation you would get -1(-3)+3, which would turn into 3+3 which equals 6.

Damien deposited $100 into his savings account. He then deposits $15 three times per month. Write an equation that shows the amo
Damm [24]

Answer: 100 + 45t

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Damien deposited $100 into his savings account and that he then deposits $15 three times per month.

The equation that shows the amount in Damien's savings account after t months will then be:

= $100 + [($15 × 3) × t months]

= $100 + $45t

= 100 + 45t
