The base (with a *positive* exponent) is 7/6, a number larger than 1. Because multiplying by a number larger than 1 makes the quantity increase, this is a growth (not decay) model.
The growth factor is 7/6.
The percentage increase in each time period is (7/6 -1)*100% ≈ 16.67%.
Part A
We have

. To solve for the x-intercept, we set f(x) equal to 0. That is

Take the square root of both sides,
The x-intercept is (-2,0).
To solve for the y-intercept, we set x=0. That is
The y-intercept is (0, 8)
The coordinates of the optimum point are actually the vertex which can be easily seen from the vertex form equation given above. The minimum point is
(-3, -1).
Part B.
We have

.
Factor out -2

Complete the square

Simplify

Part C
We have

.
The maximum height is 12.25 feet after 0.875 seconds from the time of the jump. The dolphin will be back in the water after 1.75 seconds. The graph of the jump is shown in the photo.
For a parabola of the form

, its vertex is located at (h, k).
The vertex of f(x) is at (7, -1).
The vertex of g(x) is at (-6, -3).
To move (7, -1) to (-6, -3), we would have to go 13 units to the left and 2 units down. Therefore, moving f(x) 13 units left and 2 units down would map it onto g(x).
Answer:
3 / 4 * 50 = 150 / 4
= 37.5 or 37½ yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The dimensions are 50 and 100 square foot
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = length of fenced side parallel to the side that borders the playground
y = length of each of the other two fenced sides
Then, x + 2y = 200
<=> x = 200-2y
The Area = xy = y(200-2y)
The dimensions of the playground that will minimize the homeowner's total cost for materials when the area of the playground is maximum. He can cover more area but with the same cost.
The graph of the area function is a parabola opening downward.
The maximum area occurs when y = -200/[2(-2)] = 50
=> x = 100
So the dimensions are 50 and 100 square foot
