Answer:

The percent increase of the population of chipmunks was 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The population of 300,000 chipmunks represent the 100%

The increase of population is equal to

(387,000-300,000)=87,000 chipmunks

Using proportion find the percent increase

Let

x-----> the percent increase

300,000/100%=87,000/x

x=100*87,000/300,000

x=29%

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 7 feet, represented by a ve
xenn [34]

First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.

If we need the vertex to be at x=4, the equation will contain a (x-4)^2 term.

If we start with y=-(x-4)^2 we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at x=4 and a maximum of 0.

So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be (4, 7)

We have

y = -(x-4)+7

Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at (8,0), because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want

y = a(x-4)^2+7

such that:

  • a
  • when we plug x=8, we have y=0

Plugging these values gets us

0 = a(8-4)^2+7 \iff 16a+7=0 \iff a = -\dfrac{7}{16}

As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.
