3(2x - 5) - 8x = -2(x - 1)

Use the distributive property:

6x-15 - 8x = -2x +2

Combine like terms:

-2x - 15 = -2x +2

Since both sides have -2x, but the other numbers are not the same, this equation does not have a solution.

Maria throws a softball straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 50 ft/sec. The ball leaves her hand when it is exac

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The equation that models the situation is $s_{f} = 4+\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{64.348}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected, so that the softball can be modelled experiment a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity. From we know the initial velocity and position of the position and we can determine the final position of the ball as a function of the final velocity:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot (s_{f}-s_{o})$ (1)

Where:

$s_{o}$ , $s_{f}$ - Initial and final position of the softball, measured in feet.

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$v_{o}$ , $v_{f}$ - Initial and final velocities of the softball, measured in feet per second.

If we know that $v_{o} = 50\,\frac{ft}{s}$ , $a = -32.174\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $s_{o} = 4\,ft$ , then the equation that models the situation is:

$v_{f}^{2} = 2500-64.348\cdot (s_{f}-4)$

Then, we clear the final position of the softball:

$-\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{-64.348} = s_{f}-4$

$s_{f} = 4+\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{64.348}$

The equation that models the situation is $s_{f} = 4+\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{64.348}$ .

The standard form of the equation for a quadratic function is, with he vertex of the graph of the function at the point (p,q). t

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a (x − x₁) (x − x₂)

Expand:

y = a (x² − x₁x − x₂x + x₁x₂)

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + x₁x₂)

Distribute a to the first two terms:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x) + ax₁x₂

Complete the square:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + ¼(x₁ + x₂)²) + ax₁x₂ − ¼ a(x₁ + x₂)²

y = a (x − ½ (x₁ + x₂))² + a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Therefore:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
