The function f(t) = 4t2 − 8t + 7 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t.

Write f(t) in the vertex form a(x − h)2 + k, where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t).
A) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground
B) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
C) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground
D) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground

Answer:

A) f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 7

Factor out 4 from the first two terms

f(t) = 4(t^2 − 2t) + 7

Complete the square

(-2/2)^2 =1  But there is a 4 out front so we add 4 and then subtract 4 to balance

f(t) = 4( t^2 -2t+1) -4 +7

f(t) = 4( t-1)^2 +3

The vertex is (1,3)

This is the minimum since a>0

The minimun is y =3 and occurs at t =1

The distance between city E and F is 678.35 miles and the distance between city F and G is 156.8 miles. What is the distance bet
Free_Kalibri [48]

E to F = 678.35 miles
F to G = 156.8 miles
G to H = x
Total distance = 2,457 miles
E to G = 678.35 + 156.8 miles
E to G = 835.15
G to H = 2,457 - 835.15
G to H = 1621.85 miles

The ABC Toy Company is creating two similar pieces for board game, as shown below. Find the value of y that makes the two pieces
Ira Lisetskai [31]
A shape that is similar to another shape will be enlarged by a scale factor. 
Each corresponding sides should give the same scale factor

Side GI corresponds to side JL
Side GH corresponds to side JK
Side HI corresponds to side KL

The correspond sides whose length are given is 
GH = 4 and JK = 8

Side JK is twice longer than GH

All the other sides of triangle JKL are twice longer than triangle GHI, so we want that the side JL to be twice of the sides GI

Side GI = 6
Side JL = 6 × 2 = 12

Answer: y = 12
