Answer:

y=-0.215x^2+35

Step by Step:

Let, h=0,  k=35, x=8, y=21

We know that, the general equation of the parabola.

   y-k = a(x-h)^2

\Rightarrow y=a(x-h)^2+k  .........(i)

Substitute the  value of h, k, x, y in equation (i) and find the value of a.

  21=a(8-0)^2+35

\Rightarrow 21=a\times 8^2+35

\Rightarrow 21=64a+35

\Rightarrow 64a=21-35

\Rightarrow 64a=-14

\Rightarrow a=\frac{-14}{65}

\Rightarrow a=-0.215

Hence, the equation of the parabola is:

y=-0.215x^2+35

Hello,
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thanks for the incorrect formula!

I have tested (fog)(x) ,(f*g)(x) and finally (f+g)(x)

f(x)=6x++++++++++++++++++++++++3
g(x)=x-7
(f+g)(x)=6x+3+x-7=7x-4
(f+g)(3)=7*3-4=17

Answer B
