A zero in front of the x would make this a difference of two perfect squares. All of the other option would interfere by adding another term.
In order to find the answer of the given problem above, we need to make the solution below:
Given: 2/3 of an hour = practice each day
2/3 of an hour is equivalent to 40 minutes
And per week, there are 7 days. So we will multiply 40 minutes by 7, and the result is 280 minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 280 by 60 and we get 4.67 hours. Therefore, each week, you would get 4.67 hours of practice on playing a musical instrument.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We expect the equation for y to be quadratic. Since the table is obviously symmetrical about x=3, we can start with the vertex form ...
y = a(x -3)² +b
Filling in the values from the first two table points, we get
For (x, y) = (0, 6):
6 = a(0 -3)² + b ⇒ 9a +b = 6
For (x, y) = (2, 22):
22 = a(2-3)² +b ⇒ a +b = 22
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(9a +b) -(a +b) = (6) -(22)
8a = -16 . . . . . . collect terms
a = -2 . . . . . . . . divide by 8
The second equation above tells us ...
b = 22 -a = 22 -(-2) = 24
So, our equation for y is ...
y = -2(x -3)² +24
__
The value of y for x=5 is ...
y = -2(5 -3)² +24 = 16
The height of the ball after 5 seconds is 16 feet.
