I realize that the equation is different, but do it in the same way, it'll help! It is given that the water taxi's path can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 14)^2. Therefore, this is one of the equations in this system. Find a linear equation that will model the path of the water skier, which begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8,-4). The slope is (-5). Use the slope and one point on the line to find the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept of the line that passes through the points (6,6) and (8,-4) is (0,36). Thus, the equation is y=-5x+36. Now, to determine if it is possible for the water skier to collide with the taxi, we have to determine if there is a solution to the system of equations. To determine if there is a solution to the system of equations, solve the system using substitution. First, write the equation that models the water taxi's path in standard form. y=0.5(x - 14)^2-->0.5x^2-14x+98. Use substitution. Substitute for y in the equation and then solve for x. As the expression on the left side of the equation cannot easily be factored, use the Quadratic Formula to solve for x. Do x=-b(plusorminus)sqrrtb^2-4ac/2a. Identify a, b, and c. a=0.5, b=-9, and c=62. Substitute into the Quadratic Formula. If there is a negative number under the radical, there are NO solutions. Thus, the path of the water skier will never cross the path of the taxi.
In conclusion: It is not possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi as the two paths never cross.
Answer:
p = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
O we have to solve this equation:
24p + 12 - 18p = 10 + 2p - 6
First, we will operate what we have in both sides:
24p - 18p + 12 = 10 - 6 + 2p
6p + 12 = 4 + 2p
We substract 2p in both sides and 12 too.
6p + 12 - 2p - 12 = 4 + 2p - 2p - 12
4p = -8
Now, we divide both sides by 4
4p/4 = -8/4
Well first you have to make the denominators equal by finding a common denominator. in this case 21, but whatever you do to the bottom you do to the top. so 1/3 times 7/7 equals 7/21 and 1/7 times 3/3 equals 3/21.
so how many 7/21 cups of ice cream can you make from 3/21 i think about none but remember i could be wrong
