If the take the origin as the starting point of the ball, then the vertex would be (4,28) and the parabola would be facing downwards. Using the general form of the parabola which is (x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k) where h and k are taken from the coordinate of the vertex (h,k).
So, the equation would be, (x-4)^2)=4p(y-28). To determine 4p, we can substitute either of the two points: (0,0) or (0,8). The second coordinate is taken from the given that the ball covers a distance of 4 ft after it reaches a maximum height. The total distance traveled by the ball is twice that, which is 8 ft.
After substituting, 4p = -4/7. Plugging this into the equation and after expanding and simplifying, the equation of the ball's trajectory is:
y = (-4/7)x^2+14x
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
To get percentages, take the part of a population that is being specified and divided that by the whole population and multiply that value by
100
%
.
So there are
30
people that own boxers, this is the specific population that is being compared to the whole dog-owning population, which is comprised of
50
total families. So
30
50
can be reduced to
3
5
and that gives us
.6
When that value is multiplied by
100
%
, it gives us our percentage of
.6
⋅
100
%
=
60
Answer:
x=2 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=2x^2-8
set the function equal to zero to solve for x
2x^2-8=0
add 8 to both sides and divide by 2
x^2=4
take the square root of both sides to get x isolated
√(x^2)=√4
x= ±2
Hey there!
<h3>"Expanded form" is basically, setting it up in a addition form to give you that result</h3>
