Answer:

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in which the coefficient of x^2 is negative, the parabola opens up and has a maximum point. This maximum point occurs at the line of symmetry.

Since the divers height, y is modeled by the equation

y= -x^2 + 2x + 3

Step 1: Determine the equation of symmetry

In the equation above, a=-1, b=2, c=3

Equation of symmetry, x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}

x=-\dfrac{2}{2*-1}\\x=1

Step 2: Find the value of y at the point of symmetry

That is, we substitute x obtained above into the y and solve.

y(1)= -1^2 + 2(1) + 3=-1+2+3=4m

The maximum height of the diver is therefore 4 meters.

What is the answer to 4x-5x+9=5x-9?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms on the left side

4x-5x+9=5x-9

-x+9=5x-9

Subtract 9 on both sides

-x=5x-18

Subtract 5x on both sides

-6x= -18

Divide by -6 on both sides

x=3

Hope this helps! :)
