Answer: If the answer was a half then I would say about 9.6 but if the answer if a whole then the whole would be 10 but doing the math out the answer is 9.6. Have a wonderful day
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 
, the equation will contain a 
term.
If we start with 
we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at 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 
We have
Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at 
, because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want
such that:
Plugging these values gets us
As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.

Since ZP bisects â OZQ, that means that the measurements for â OZP and â PZQ are the same. So create an equation with their respective values set to each other.
8x - 9 = 5x + 18
Now solve for x
8x - 9 = 5x + 18
Subtract 5x from both sides
3x - 9 = 18
Add 9 to both sides
3x = 27
Divide both sides by 3
x = 9</span>
3 & 6 - LCM = 3. 3's multiples are 3, 6, 9,12, 16, etc. 6's multiples are 6, 12, 18, etc. therefore, the least common multiple is 6.
GCF - 3's factors are 1, 3, and 6's factors 1, 2, 3. so the greatest common factor is 3.
, we have
