The equation d = 2t^ gives the distance from the start point of a toy boat that starts at rest and accelerates at 4 cm/s2. The e

quation d = 10t - 8 gives the distance from the start point of a second boat that starts at rest 8 cm behind the first boat and travels at a constant rate of 10 cm/s.
a) By setting the equations equal to each other, you can determine when the cars are the same distance from the start point: 2t2 = 10t - 8. Rewrite the equation so it is equal to 0 on the right hand side of the equation.

b) Factor the expression on the left side of the equation.

c) boats are the same distance from the start point at t = 1 and t = 4. Explain how the factors you found in part b were used to find these two times.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

d = 2t^2 and d = 10t - 8

If we equate both since they are distances, we have:

2t^2 = 10t - 8  

Algebraically, moving the equation to the right side, we get:

2t^ 2 = 10t -8 \\ \\ 2t^2 -10t +8 =0

To factor the equation on the left side:

2t^2 - 10t + 8 = 0

Factor out 2 on the left-hand side:

2 (t^2 -5t + 4) =0

=2 (t^2 -t-4t + 4)

= 2[t(t-1)-4(t-1)]

=2(t-1) (t-4)

To determine the time when the two boats have to cover an equal distance:

2(t -1)(t-4) =0 \\ \\(t-1)(t-4) =0

Thus:

t - 1 = 0 \  or \  t - 4 = 0 \\ \\ t = 1  \   or   \  t = 4

Suppose you know a certain parabola has a vertex of (2, 1) and a y-intercept of 4. By symmetry, you can conclude that the parabo
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parabola with a vertex point of (2, 1) and a <em>y-</em>intercept of <em>y</em> = 4.

And we want to determine another point on the parabola.

Recall that a parabola is symmetric along the axis of symmetry, which is the <em>x-</em>coordinate of the vertex.

Note that since the <em>y-</em>intercept of the parabola is <em>y</em> = 4, this means that a point on our parabola is (0, 4).

To get from (2, 1) to (0, 4), we move two units left and three units up.

Since the parabola is symmetric along axis of symmetry, another point on the parabola will be two units right and three units up. This yields (2 + 2, 1 + 3) or (4, 4).

Our answer is A.
