Answer:
- Part (a) Vertex = (-3, -1)
- Part (b) Vertex = (4, 5)
- Part (c) function 2; max value = 5
=====================================================
Explanations:
Part (a)
In this case, the vertex is the highest point, so the vertex of function 1 is (-3, -1)
If the parabola was flipped so that it opened upward, instead of downward, then the vertex would be the lowest point.
----------------------------
Part (b)
We could graph this function to see where the highest or lowest point is, but there's another way we could find the vertex using algebra.
The given equation is in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c where in this case
- a = -2
- b = 16
- c = -27
The a and b values are plugged into the formula below to get
h = -b/(2a)
h = -16/(2*(-2))
h = -16/(-4)
h = 4
This is the x coordinate the vertex since the vertex is (h,k)
To find k, we plug that value of h into the original function to find its corresponding y value.
y = -2x^2 + 16x - 27
y = -2(4)^2 + 16(4) - 27
y = -2(16) + 16(4) - 27
y = -32 + 64 - 27
y = 5
We found that h = 4 leads to k = 5. The vertex is (h,k) = (4, 5)
----------------------------
Part (c)
We'll compare the y values of each vertex
- Function 1 has a vertex of (-3, 1)
- Function 2 has a vertex of (4, 5)
The vertex with the larger y value is the winner, so that would be function 2. This parabola reaches a higher peak compared to the other curve.
The max value here is y = 5. In other words, it's the maximum output the function can produce.
If you graphed functions 1 and 2 together on the same xy grid (see below), you'll see that the curve for function 2 reaches a higher peak.
Answer:
m = 1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data is as follows :
x 1 2 3 4 5 6
f 1 4 7 m 6 3
We need to find the value of m if the mean of the data is 3.8.
Mean = sum of observations/no. of observations
So,
So, the value of m is equal to 1.8.
Answer:
The maximum height of the particle is 100 ft
A is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 96 feet with an initial speed of 16 feet per second.
The standard equation of parabolic projectile.
where,
So, we get the parabolic equation of path.
The maximum value at vertex.
Maximum at t=0.5
Hence, The maximum height of the particle is 100 ft
