Answer:

$m=7\frac{5}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{9}(2m - 16)=\frac{1}{3}(2m + 4)$

$\frac{2}{9}m - 1\frac{7}{9} =\frac{2}{3}m+ 1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{9}m - 1\frac{7}{9} -1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{3}m+ 1\frac{1}{3}-1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{9}m - 3\frac{1}{9} =\frac{2}{3}m$

$\frac{2}{3}m-\frac{2}{9}m= \frac{2}{9}m -\frac{2}{9}m - 3\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{4}{9}m= - 3\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{4}{9}m/\frac{4}{9} = - 3\frac{1}{9}/\frac{4}{9}$

$m=7\frac{5}{16}$

A firecracker shoots up from a hill 160 feet high, with an initial speed of 90 feet per second. Using the formula H(t) = −16t2 +

Masja [62]

When the firecracker hits the ground, H(t) = 0.0 = -16t^2 + 90t + 160 Using the quadratic formula,t = (-90 +- sqrt(90^2 - 4(-16)(160))) / 2(-16)t = -1.42 ort = 7.04

The negative time is extraneous. Therefore,t = 7.04 s.

Match the parabolas represented by the equations with their vertices. y = x2 + 6x + 8 y = 2x2 + 16x + 28 y = -x2 + 5x + 14 y = -

GaryK [48]

Consider all parabolas:

$y = x^2 + 6x + 8,\\y=x^2+6x+9-9+8,\\y=(x^2+6x+9)-1,\\y=(x+3)^2-1.$

When x=-3, y=-1, then the point (-3,-1) is vertex of this first parabola.

$y = 2x^2 + 16x + 28=2(x^2+8x+14),\\y=2(x^2+8x+16-16+14),\\y=2((x^2+8x+16)-16+14),\\y=2((x+4)^2-2)=2(x+4)^2-4.$

When x=-4, y=-4, then the point (-4,-4) is vertex of this second parabola.

$y =-x^2 + 5x + 14=-(x^2-5x-14),\\y=-(x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4}-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4})-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2-\dfrac{81}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2+\dfrac{81}{4}.$

When x=2.5, y=20.25, then the point (2.5,20.25) is vertex of this third parabola.

$y =-x^2 + 7x + 7=-(x^2-7x-7),\\y=-(x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4}-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4})-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2-\dfrac{77}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2+\dfrac{77}{4}.$

When x=3.5, y=19.25, then the point (3.5,19.25) is vertex of this fourth parabola.

$y =2x^2 + 7x +5=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16}-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16})-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{16})=2(x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{8}.$

When x=-1.75, y=-1.125, then the point (-1.75,-1.125) is vertex of this fifth parabola.

$y =-2x^2 + 8x +5=-2(x^2-4x-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2(x^2-4x+4-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x^2-4x+4)-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x-2)^2-\dfrac{13}{2})=-2(x-2)^2+13.$
