Answer:

Let's suppose that the hole is at y = 0m, where x is the time variable.

we know that:

The vertex is (-1s, 8m).

(i suppose x in seconds and y in meters)

At x = 1s, the ball reaches the hole, so we also have the point:

(1s, 0m).

Remember that the vertex of a quadratic equation y = a*x^2 + b*x + c is at:

x = -b/2a,

then we have:

-1 = -b/2a.

Then we have tree equations:

8m = a*(-1s)^2 + b*-1s + c

0m = a*(1s)^2 + b*1s + c

-1s = -b/2a.

First we should isolate one variable in the third equation, and then replace it in one of the other two:

1s*2a = b.

So we can replace b in the first two equations bi 1s*2a.

8m = a*1s^2 - 1s*2a*1s + c

0m = a*1s^2 + 1s*2a*1s + c

We can simplify both equations and get:

8m = a*( 1s^2 - 2s^2) + c = -a*1s^2 + c.

0m = a*(1s^2 + 2s^2) + c = a*3s^2 + c.

Easily we can isolate c in the second equation and then replace it into the first equation:

c = -a*3s^2

The first equation becomes:

8m = -a*1s^2 - a*3s^2 = -a*4s^2

a = 8m/-4s^2 = -2m/s^2.

Now with a, we can find the values of c and b.

c = -a*3s^2 = -(-2m/s^2)*3s^2 = 6m.

b = 1s*2a = 1s*(-2m/s^2) = -2m/s.

Then the equation is:

y = (-2m/s^2)*t^2 + (-2m/s)*t + 6m

Help thanks 7.04 love u guys​
Ugo [173]

Answer:

D. -\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

4y=8x-3

When we divide through by 4 we get;

y=2x-\frac{3}{4}

Comparing to

y=mx+c,

The y-intercept is -\frac{3}{4}

The corrrect choice is D.

What do you set each term equal to in order to solve for all of the "roots" of a function? No links please :)​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Solving quadratic equations can be difficult, but luckily there are several different methods that we can use depending on what type of quadratic that we are trying to solve. The four methods of solving a quadratic equation are factoring, using the square roots, completing the square and the quadratic formula.

Question 6 (Essay Worth 2 points)<br> Find all polar coordinates of point P = (2, 14°).
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

(2,14°+360n) and (-2,14°+(2n+1)180°)

Step-by-step explanation:

You start out with (2, 14°)

The polar coordinate can be written as (r, 0) = (r, 0+2nπ) or

(r,0)=(-r,0+2(n=1)π), where n is any integer.

The polar coordinates point : p=(r,0) = (2,14°)

For the positive value of r,  the polar coordinate can be written as

p=(2,14°) = (2,14°+360n°), where n is any integer.

For the negative value of r ,  the polar coordinate can be written as

p=(2,14°) = (-2,14°+(2n+1)180°), where n is any integer.

All the polar coordinates of point P are(2,14°+360n) and (-2,14°+(2n+1)180°).
