Answer:
Horizontal distance = 0 m and 6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of a rider in a roller coaster has been defined by the equation,
y = 
Here x = rider's horizontal distance from the start of the ride
i). 

![=\frac{1}{3}[x^{2}-2(3x)+9-9+24]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Bx%5E%7B2%7D-2%283x%29%2B9-9%2B24%5D)
![=\frac{1}{3}[(x^{2}-2(3x)+9)+15]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5B%28x%5E%7B2%7D-2%283x%29%2B9%29%2B15%5D)
![=\frac{1}{3}[(x-3)^2+15]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5B%28x-3%29%5E2%2B15%5D)

ii). Since, the parabolic graph for the given equation opens upwards,
Vertex of the parabola will be the lowest point of the rider on the roller coaster.
From the equation,
Vertex → (3, 5)
Therefore, minimum height of the rider will be the y-coordinate of the vertex.
Minimum height of the rider = 5 m
iii). If h = 8 m,


(x - 3)² = 9
x = 3 ± 3
x = 0, 6 m
Therefore, at 8 m height of the roller coaster, horizontal distance of the rider will be x = 0 and 6 m
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved by working backwards.
7 is one more than half the number of invitations.
Subtract 1. 6 is half the number of invitations.
Double.
12 is the full number of invitations.
Algebra (if you must!):
x = number of invitations
x/2 + 1 = 7
Subtract 1.
x/2 = 6
Multiply by 2.
x = 12
The second place runner had already completed 320 meters when the winner crossed the finish line
Answer:
3n−32=7n+28
n=-15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
3n−32=7n+28
Step 1: Subtract 7n from both sides.
3n−32−7n=7n+28−7n
−4n−32=28
Step 2: Add 32 to both sides.
−4n−32+32=28+32
−4n=60
Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.
−4n/−4=60/−4
n=−15
