Answer:

1) The equation for the of the ball in y = a·(x - h)² + k is;

y = -16·(x - 5)² + 25

2) The height of the dock, d =  -375 feet below the water level

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The question is with regards to quadratic function representing projectile motion

The given parameters are;

The height the ball reaches 4 seconds after Sarah kicked the ball = 9 feet

The time the ball hits the water = 6 seconds after reaching the 9 feet height

The form of the quadratic equation representing the motion is given as follows;

y = a·(x - h)² + k = a·x² - 2·a·h·x + a·h² + k

Let 'x' represent the time of motion of the ball, and let 'a', represent the acceleration due to gravity, we have;

The equation for the ball, y = a·(x - h)² + k

Where;

(h, k) = The coordinates of the vertex

h = The horizontal component of the vertex coordinate = 0

Therefore, we have;

When x = 0, y = d

d = -16·(0 - h)² + k =  -16·h² + k

d = -16·h² + k  

When x = 4, y = 9 - d

9 - d = -16(4 - h)² + k = -16(4 - h)² + k

When x = 2, y = d

d = -16(2 - h)² + k

When x = 6, y = 9

9 = -16(6 - 5)² + k

When x = 8, y = d

d = -16(8 - h)² + k

-16(8 - h)² - (-16(2 - h)²) = 0

h = 5

From 9 - d = -16(4 - h)² + k = -16(4 - 4)² + k

d = 9 - k

9 = -16(6 - h)² + k

k = 9 + 16(6 - 5)² = 25

d = 9 - k = 9 - 25 = -16

Therefore, h = 5, k = 25

The equation for the of the ball in y = a·(x - h)² + k is therefore;

y = -16·(x - 5)² + 25

2) When x = 0, y = d, ∴ d = -16(0 - 5)² + 25 = -375 feet below the water

The height of the dock, d =  -375 feet below the water level

A loan of $12,000 is made at 5.25% interest, compounded annually. After how many years will the amount due reach $22,000 or more
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

About 16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to figure out 5.25% of 12000

5.25 x 0.12000 = 0.63

Then we move the decimal

630

Then we need to figure out how many years it will take to reach $22000

Since we already owe $12000, we can just divide using $10000 because 10000 + 12000 = 22000

10000/630 = 15.87

Which is about 16 years

Which results only in a horizontal compression of y=1/x by a factor of 6
yan [13]

we are given

parent function as

y=\frac{1}{x}

Suppose, we are given a function y=f(x) is compressed horizontally by ''b'' units

where b>1

so, we can write as

new function as

y=f(bx)

Here, it is compressed by factor 6

so, we can replace x as 6x

and we get

y=\frac{1}{6x}

so, option-A.........Answer

If y varies directly as x and y=288 when x=16 determine the value of y when x-13
Ray Of Light [21]
Y = kx is the direct variation equation
Substitute the x and y that are given to find k then write your new equation in terms of y with the k.

288 = k(16) divide by 16 to find k
18 = k
Now write the new equation
y = 18x

y = 18(13) or y = 18(-13) I'm not sure by what you have typed if that is supposed to be and equal sign or a negative.
y = 234 OR y = -234
