The hole is 8 feet deep at ground level ⇒ 3rd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the quadratic function is y = ax² + bx + c, where
- a is the coefficient of x²
- b is the coefficient of x
- c is the y-intercept (at x = 0)
The vertex point of the quadratic is (h , k), where
and k is the value of y when x = h
The table:
→ x : -2 , 0 , 2
→ y : -6 , -8 , -6
∵ x represents distance from hole's center in feet
∵ y represents the depth from level ground
∴ The quadratic function is y = ax² + bx + c
∵ c is the value of y at x = 0 ⇒ y-intercept
- From the table at x = 0 ⇒ y = -8
∴ c = -8
- Substitute its value in the function model
∴ y = ax² + bx - 8
- To find the values of a and b substitute x and y in the model by
the coordinates of the point in the table
∵ x = -2 and y = -6
∴ -6 = a(-2)² + b(-2) - 8
∴ -6 = 4a - 2b - 8
- Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2 = 4a - 2b
- Switch the two sides
∴ 4a - 2b = 2 ⇒ (1)
∵ x = 2 and y = -6
∴ -6 = a(2)² + b(2) - 8
∴ -6 = 4a + 2b - 8
- Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2 = 4a + 2b
- Switch the two sides
∴ 4a + 2b = 2 ⇒ (2)
Now we have a system of equation to solve it
Add equations(1) and (2) to eliminate b
∵ 8a = 4
- Divide both sides by 8
∴ a = 0.5
- Substitute value of a in equation (1) or to to find b
∵ 4(0.5) + 2b = 2
∴ 2 + 2b = 2
- Subtract 2 from both sides
∴ 2b = 0
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ b = 0
Substitute the values of a and b in the function model
∴ y = 0.5x² + (0)x - 8
∴ y = 0.5x² - 8
∵ y represents the depth from level ground
∵ The vertex of the function model is (h , k)
∴ The deep of the hole at ground level is the value of k
∵
∴
∴ h = 0
∵ k is the value of y when x = h
- From the table at x = 0 ⇒ y = -8
∴ k = -8
- Ignore the sign (-) because the k represents the depth of the
hole in feet
∴ The deep of the hole at ground level is 8 feet
The hole is 8 feet deep at ground level

Answer:
x = -1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Th given equation is :
34(x + 4) = 14(x + 8)
Step (A) Distribute 34 on the left side of the equation such as :
34x + 34(4) = 14(x + 8)
34x + 136 = 14(x + 8)
Step (B) Distribute 14 on the right side of the equation such as :
34x + 136 = 14x + 14(8)
34x + 136 = 14x + 112
Step (C) Subtract 14x from each side of the equation.
34x + 136 - 14x = 14x + 112 -14x
20x + 136 = 112
Step (D) Subtract 136 from each side of the equation.
20x + 136 -136 = 112 -136
20x = -24
Step (E) Divide both side by 20
So, the value of x is (-1.2). Hence, steps (D) and (E) are incorrect.
