Answer:

y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the vertex form equation for a parabola:

y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.

Therefore, we have y=a(x-8)^2+12 as our equation so far. If we plug in (16,0) we can find a:

0=a(16-8)^2+12

0=64a+12

-12=64a

-12/64=a

-3/16=a

Therefore, your final equation is y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

Answer:

y = (-5.33)(x - 8)^2 + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a parabola which opens down and has its vertex at (8, 12).  We can immediately write y = a(x - 8)^2 + 12, knowing that if x = 8, y = 12.  To find the coefficient '1', substitute 16 for x and 0 for y:

0 = a(16 - 8)^2 + 12, or

-64a = 12, or a = -64/12 = 5.33

Then the desired function is:

y = (-5.33)(x - 8)^2 + 12

1/1+z+4/z+z^2 +1

1/2z =4/2z^2 +1

1/2z=2(z^2+2)/2z^2

1/2z=z^4+2z^2

z^5/2+2z^2
