Answer:

\displaystyle f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}(x+1)^2+6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation for a quadratic function in vertex form with vertex at (-1, 6) that passes through the point (-3, 4).

Vertex form is given by:

\displaystyle f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

Where (<em>h, k</em>) is the vertex and <em>a</em> is the leading coefficient.

Since our vertex is at (-1, 6), <em>h</em> = -1 and <em>k</em> = 6. Substitute:

f(x)=a(x-(-1))^2+(6)

Simplify:

f(x)=a(x+1)^2+6

Next, since the quadratic passes through the point (-3, 4), f(x) = 4 when <em>x</em> = -3. Substitute:

(4)=a(-3+1)^2+6

Solve for <em>a</em>. Simplify:

-2=a(-2)^2

Hence:

\displaystyle -2=4a\Rightarrow a=-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, our function in vertex form is:

\displaystyle f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}(x+1)^2+6

A golfer takes two putts to get the ball into the hole. The first putt rolls the ball 10.3 feet in the northwest direction and t
creativ13 [48]

Let's put this on the usual Cartesian grid just so we can talk about it without drawing a picture.  We'll use map conventions, right is east, up is north.

The ball starts at (0,0).   10.3 feet northwest means we have an isosceles right triangle whose diagonal is 10.3 feet.  It's isosceles because northwest means equal parts north and west.   

The sides of these triangles are in ratio 1:1:\sqrt{2} so the coordinates after the first putt are

(- 10.3 / \sqrt{2}, 10.3 / \sqrt{2})

The negative sign indicates west, which doesn't really matter for this problem.  The distance from the origin to this point is 10.3 as required.

Now a second putt of 3.8 feet north puts us at
 
(- 10.3 / \sqrt{2}, 10.3 / \sqrt{2} + 3.8)

The squared distance to the origin is exactly

d^2 = 10.3^2/2 + (10.3 / \sqrt{2} + 3.8)^2

A little calculator work tells us

d \approx 13.2621

Third choice.

If $64,000 is invested in an IRA account with an annual interest rate of 8% compounded once a year, what is the value of the acc
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: the value of the account after 6 years is $101559.96

Step-by-step explanation:

If $64,000 is invested in an IRA account, then

Principal = $64,000

So P = 64,000

The rate at which $64000 was compounded is 8%

So r = 8/100 = 0.08

If it is compounded once in a year, this means that it is compounded annually (and not semi annually, quarterly or others). So

n = 1

We want to determine the value of the account after 6 years, this means

time, t = 6

Applying the compound interest formula,

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = amount after n number of years

A = 64000( 1 + 0.08/1)^1×6

A = 64000(1.08)^6

A= 64000×1.58687432294

A= 101559.956668416

Approximately $101559.96 to 2 decimal places
