First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.
If we need the vertex to be at 
, the equation will contain a 
term.
If we start with 
we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at and a maximum of 0.
So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be 
We have
Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at 
, because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want
such that:
Plugging these values gets us
As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.
Answer:
The answer is $7.15 (A)
Step-by-step explanation:
You plug in 2x + 4 into the y for the other equation (3x +y ) and solve for it
Answer:
The consecutive numbers are 62 and 63
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x and the smaller number by y,
Provided they are consecutive numbers;
--- Equation 1
From the question; we have that
--- Equation 2
Required
Find x and y
Multiply both sides of equation 2 by 14
---- Equation 3
Substitute y + 1 for x in equation 2
Open bracket
Collect like terms
So,
Hence, the consecutive numbers are 62 and 63
, we have
