Answer:

8 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original amount of candy in the bowl to be x.

It says that 20 pieces of candy were added, therefore there are x+20 pieces of candy in the bowl.

Half of the candy is gone, therefore \frac{x+20}{2} pieces of candy are left in the bowl.

After half of the candy is gone, there are 14 pieces left, so we can say that \frac{x+20}{2} =14

Solve for x:

x+20 = 28

x=8

1.) What is the equation of the path of firework #1? Write your equation in general form.
valina [46]

1. I'm assumig that the paths are perfect parabolas

this means that their general forms can be written in y=ax^2+bx+c

it's easier to find vertex form first then expand to get general form

vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k where the vertex is (h,k) and a is a constant


firework #1

vertex is (10,50), so (h,k)=(10,50) and h=10, k=50

h_1=a(t-10)^2+50

to find the value of a, subsitute another point

(0,0)

0=a(0-10)^2+50)

0=100a+50

a=\frac{-1}{2}

so the equation in vertex form is h_1=\frac{-1}{2}(t-10)^2+50

expand to get general form

h_1=\frac{-1}{2}(t^2-20t+100)+50

h_1=\frac{-1}{2}t^2+10t-50+50

h_1=\frac{-1}{2}t^2+10t





2.

same as last time

vertex is (10,72) so (h,k)=(10,72) so h=10 and k=72

equation is h_2=a(t-10)^2+72

find a

use another point

(0,22)

22=a(0-10)^2+72

22=100a+72

-50=100a

a=\frac{-1}{2}

so the equation in vertex form is h_2=\frac{-1}{2}(t-10)^2+72




3.

range is the numbers that h is allowed to be

think about what h represents. it represents the height of the rocket

from the graph, we can see that the lowest possible height is 0yd and the highest height is 50yd

so range is 0 to 50 or 0≤h≤50


domain is the numbers that t is allowed to be

think about what t represents. it represents how long the rocket has been flying

it will stop flying when it hits the ground or at t=20

it starts flying at t=0

so domain is from 0 to 20 or 0≤t≤20
