Like the three earlier problems, we'll place the kicker at the origin and have her kick to the right. The two roots in this case are x = 0 and x = 20 to represent when the ball is on the ground.

This leads to the factors x and x-20 and the equation $y = ax(x-20)$

We'll plug in (x,y) = (10,28) which is the vertex point. The 10 is the midpoint of 0 and 20 mentioned earlier.

Let's solve for 'a'.

$y = ax(x-20)\\\\28 = a*10(10-20)\\\\28 = -100a\\\\a = -\frac{28}{100}\\\\a = -\frac{7}{25}\\\\$

This then leads us to:

$y = ax(x-20)\\\\y = -\frac{7}{25}x(x-20)\\\\y = -\frac{7}{25}x*x-\frac{7}{25}x*(-20)\\\\y = -\frac{7}{25}x^2+\frac{28}{5}x\\\\$

The equation is in the form $y = ax^2+bx+c$ with $a = -\frac{7}{25}, \ b = \frac{28}{5}, \ c = 0$

The graph is below in blue.

Problem 5

The same set up applies as before.

This time we have the roots x = 0 and x = 100 to lead to the factors x and x-100. We have the equation $y = ax(x-100)$

We'll use the vertex point (50,12) to find 'a'.

$y = ax(x-100)\\\\12 = a*50(50-100)\\\\12 = -2500a\\\\a = -\frac{12}{2500}\\\\a = -\frac{3}{625}\\\\$

Then we can find the standard form

$y = ax(x-100)\\\\y = -\frac{3}{625}x(x-100)\\\\y = -\frac{3}{625}x*x-\frac{3}{625}x*(-100)\\\\y = -\frac{3}{625}x^2+\frac{12}{25}x\\\\$

The graph is below in red.

The area of a square garden is 50 m3. How long is the diagonal?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of a square is 50 m2, then the length of each side will be $\sqrt{50}$ m, to get the diagonal length, after dividing the square by joining the points of the diagonal with a line, it forms two right angles with length $\sqrt{50}$ m each.

the diagonal length represent the hypotenuse side of each of the right angle, knowing the pythagoras theorem:

$(hyp)^{2} = (opp)^{2} + (Adj)^{2}$ , so we have:

$(diagonal)^{2} = 50 + 50$

$(diagonal)^{2} = 100$

diagonal = 10 m
