Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (- 4, - 9), thus
y = a(x + 4)² - 9
To find a substitute the coordinates of the zero (- 7, 0) into the equation.
0 = a(- 7 + 4)² - 9, that is
0 = 9a - 9 ( add 9 to both sides )
9a = 9 ( divide both sides by 9 )
a = 1, thus
y = (x + 4)² - 9 ← expand factor using FOIL
y = x² + 8x + 16 - 9
y = x² + 8x + 7
Well you are given the equation so let's plug in for kaylib and see how many miles she can see
distance = sqrt [(3 * height) / 2]
d = sqrt [(3 *48) / 2]
d = sqrt (144 / 2)
d = sqrt (72)
d = sqrt (3 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 2)
d = 6 * sqrt (2)
You you did not list Addisons height but I will say she is at x feet above sea level. we plug in x for height:
d = sqrt [(3x) / 2]
It it says how much farther for Addison which means she can see farther. to find difference we just subtract kaylibs distance from Addison. so:
sqrt [(3x) / 2] - 6 * sqrt (2)
plug in your x and use a calculator to get a decimal approximation
6= w/8
is
w= -48
that should be if not sorry DX
