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

kvv77 [185]
Problem:  6|-3|-4|5|
Whenever something is in: |21| in the lines, you would just count the number itself.
So it is: 6·3-4·5 which would equal: 6·3-4·5
The answer to 6·3 is 18, so its 18 minus the answer of 5·4 which is 20.
So its: 18-20= -2

(question 31) if arc mBC =120 and arc mAD =50 whatis the measure of angle DYC
g100num [7]
<h3>Answer:  D) 95</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

First, let's calculate angle BYC. This is the angle formed by the chords that subtend the arcs mentioned. This angle faces or is aimed toward the direction of the arcs. To find this angle, we'll average the arc measures like so:

angle BYC = (arcAD + arcBC)/2

angle BYC = (50+120)/2

angle BYC = 170/2

angle BYC = 85 degrees

Then we'll use the idea that angles BYC and DYC are supplementary (aka they form a straight 180 degree angle)

angleBYC + angleDYC = 180

angleDYC = 180 - angleBYC

angleDYC = 180 - 85

angleDYC = 95 degrees

which is why the answer is choice D.

A crowd of people stood on both sides of the street to view a 4th of July Parade.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Given :

Length of parade , L = 3\ miles=3\times 5280\ miles = 15840\ miles .

Breadth of parade , B=2\times 15=30\ ft .

5 people can fit into a 25\ ft^2 area.

1 mile = 5280 ft .

To Find :

The size of the crowd.

Solution :

Area of parade ,

A=15840\times 30\ ft^2\\\\A=475200\ ft^2

Also , 5 people can fit in 25\ ft^2 area .

So , number of people fit in A is :

n = \dfrac{475200\times 5}{25}\\\\n=95040

Therefore , 95040 can fit in the parade .

Hence , this the required solution .
