You use the rules of BEDMAS so start with the brackets -[2(-17)] start with 2*-17 which is -34 then multiply -4*-5=20 so now you have 20-(-17)=37 butttt the question is asking to SIMPLIFY so you combine like terms which adds up to 37
Answer:
25. Yes, it is a function, because none of the x outputs are repeating
-16t^2 + v0t + h0
= -16(t^2 - 1/16 v0t) + h0
= -16 [(t - 1/32v0)^2 - (1/32 v0)^2 ) + h0
= -16(t - 1/32v0)^2 + 1/64 (v0)^2 + h0 which is the vertex form
The vertex is at the point (1/32v0, 1/64 (v0)^2)
1/32v0 represents the time when the firework is at its maximum height and 1/64 (v0)^2 is this maximum height
