Find the equation, (f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k), for a parabola containing point (2, -1) and having (4, -3) as a vertex. What is the s

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is written in the form

$f(x)=a((x-h)^2+k)$ (1)

where:

$h$ is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$ak$ is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$a$ is a scale factor

For the parabola in the problem, we know that the vertex has coordinates (4,-3), so we have:

$h=4$ (2)

$ak=-3$

From this last equation, we get that $a=\frac{-3}{k}$ (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) into (1) we get the new expression:

$f(x)=-\frac{3}{k}((x-4)^2+k) = -\frac{3}{k}(x-4)^2 -3$ (4)

We also know that the parabola contains the point (2,-1), so we can substitute

x = 2

f(x) = -1

Into eq.(4) and find the value of k:

$-1=-\frac{3}{k}(2-4)^2-3\\-1=-\frac{3}{k}\cdot 4 -3\\2=-\frac{12}{k}\\k=-\frac{12}{2}=-6$

So we also get:

$a=-\frac{3}{k}=-\frac{3}{-6}=\frac{1}{2}$

So the equation of the parabola is:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x-4)^2 -6)$ (5)

Now we want to rewrite it in the standard form, i.e. in the form

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

To do that, we simply rewrite (5) expliciting the various terms, we find:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x^2-8x+16)-6)=\frac{1}{2}(x^2-8x+10)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

50 POINTS

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear model represents the height, f(x), of a water balloon thrown off the roof of a building over time, x, measured in seconds: A linear model with ordered pairs at 0, 60 and 2, 75 and 4, 75 and 6, 40 and 8, 20 and 10, 0 and 12, 0 and 14, 0. The x axis is labeled Time in seconds, and the y axis is labeled Height in feet. Part A: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height increasing? (2 points) Part B: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height staying the same? (2 points) Part C: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height decreasing the fastest? Use complete sentences to support your answer. (3 points) Part D: Use the constraints of the real-world situation to predict the height of the water balloon at 16 seconds.

Answer:

Part A:

Between 0 and 2 seconds, the height of the balloon increases from 60 feet to 75 feet at a rate of 7.5 ft/s

Part B:

Between 2 and 4 seconds, the height stays constant at 75 feet.

Part C:

Between 4 and 6 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 75 feet to 40 feet at a rate of -17.5 ft/s

Between 6 and 8 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 40 feet to 20 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s

Between 8 and 10 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 20 feet to 0 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s

Hence it fastest decreasing rate is -17.5 ft/s which is between 4 to 6 seconds.

Part D:

From 10 seconds, the balloon is at the ground (0 feet), it continues to remain at 0 feet even at 16 seconds.

Solve each equation. Check your solution. <br> A) -6a=36<br> B) -9d=-72

vovikov84 [41]

A) -6a = 36

Divide both sides by -6 so that (a) is isolated.

a = -6

Check by plugging in -6 for a.

-6a=36

-6(-6)=36

36=36

So, a=-6

B) -9d=-72

Divide both sides by -9.

d = -72/-9

d = 8

Check work by plugging in 8 for d.

-9d=-72

-9(8)=-72

-72=-72

So, d=8

~Hope I helped!~
