Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: <span>y=−0.5x^2+8x
Examining this function, we see that its graph is a vertical parabola opening down.
You did not supply instructions for this problem.
However, one could guess that you might want to find the highest point of the grasshopper's path. To do this, find the vertex: Find the x value defined by
x = -b/(2a). Here, a= -0.5 and b= 8. Thus, the vertex is at x = -8/(2[-0.5]), or
x -8/(-1) = 8 units. The corresponding y value is then
y = </span><span>−0.5*8^2+8(8) = -0.5(64) + 64, or 32 units.</span>
[[x]] means to round down to the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Answer:
-3
Three feet below the initial elevation
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial elevation is 224 feet.
We take descent to be negative and ascent to be positive.
The numerical addition expression is
We simplify this to obtain:
The negative sign means Sally is 3 feet below his initial elevation
Subtract what is to the right of the equal sign form both side of the equation but any way the answer is 0
The rotation rule would be (-y, x)
Write/mark all your coordinates down. Now plot all your prime points and draw a line connecting them.
Hope this helps!~
