Vertical angels is the answer
Answer: One possible equation could be y = -2x^2 - 3.
The equation that is given would be in the shape of an upside down parabola. It would have a maximum (vertex) at (0, -3).
The point (0, -3) would also be the y-intercept of the graph.
You could change the -2 to any other negative number and the equation would work in your problem.
The surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4π*r^3.
Since the radius in this case is 8 cm (half the 17 cm diameter), the area of this sphere is
A = 4π(8 cm)^2, or 256π cm^2.
