Answer:
q = -8, k = 2.
r = -6.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x - p)^2 + q
This is the vertex form of a quadratic where the vertex is at the point (p, q).
Now the x intercepts are at -6 and 2 and the curve is symmetrical about the line x = p.
The value of p is the midpoint of -6 and 2 which is (-6+2) / 2 = -2.
So we have:
f(x) = 1/2(x - -2)^2 + q
f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 + q
Now the graph passes through the point (2, 0) , where it intersects the x axis, therefore, substituting x = 2 and f(x) = 0:
0 = 1/2(2 + 2)^2 + q
0 = 1/2*16 + q
0 = 8 + q
q = -8.
Now convert this to standard form to find k:
f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 - 8
f(x) = 1/2(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 8
f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x + 2 - 8
f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x - 6
So k = 2.
The r is the y coordinate when x = 0.
so r = 1/2(0+2)^2 - 8
= -6.
Answer: it will take 9 days
Step-by-step explanation:
The water level was initially at 34feet it was receding at the rate of a foot per day. The rate at which it was receding is linear, thus, it is in an arithmetic progression. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as
Tn = a+(n-1)d
Where
a is the first term if the sequence
d is the common difference
n is the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = 34 feet because it is the initial height
n is the number of days it will take to get to 26 ft
d = -1 because it is decreasing by 1 foot per day.
Tn = T26 = 26 feet. Therefore, the equation will be
Tn = 34 -1(n-1)
To find for T26,
26= 34 + (n - 1)-1
26 - 34 = -n + 1
n - 1 = 8
n = 8 + 1 = 9
