The distance of a golf ball from the hole can be represented by the right side of a parabola with vertex (−1, 8). The ball reach

Answer:

The required equation is:

y = -\frac{4}{3}t^2 -\frac{8}{3}t + 4

Explanation:

Let us assume that the hole is at y = 0m, with x as the time.

From the question we have (-1s, 8m) as the vertex (here x being the time variable is supposed to be in seconds and y being the distance variable is supposed to be in meters)

At x = 1s, the ball gets to the hole, therefore we have point (1s, 0m)

We know that the vertex of the parabola y = ax² + bx + c is at

x =\frac{-b}{2a}

therefore we have:

-1 = \frac{-b}{2a}

We then have the following equations:

8 = a\times -1^2 + b\times -1 + c

0 = a\times -1^2 + b\times 1 + c

-1 = \frac{-b}{2a}

From the 3rd equation we have

1 X 2a = b.

Therefore we have:

8 = a\times -1^2 - 1\times 2a\times1 + c

0 = a\times 1^2 + 1 \times2a\times 1 + c

We can simplify both equations and get:

8 = a\times( -1^2 - 2s^2) + c = -a\times 3^2 + c

0 = a\times(1^2 + 2^2) + c = a\times 3^2 + c

The first equation now becomes:

8 = -a\times 3 - a\times 3 = -a\times 6

a = frac{8}{-6} = -\frac{4}{3}

With a, we can find the values of c and b.

c = -a\times3 = -(-\frac{4}{3})*3 = 4

b = 1\times 2a = 1\times 2(-\frac{4}{3})= -\frac{8}{3}

Then the equation is:

y = -\frac{4}{3}t^2 -\frac{8}{3}t + 4

What output will be displayed as a result of executing the following code? int x = 5, y = 20; x += 32; y /= 4; System.out.printl
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: x = 37,y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

from the initial x is 5 and y is 20

but now the values are updated:

x+=32

x=x+32

x=5+32

x=37

so now x is 37

y/=4

y=y/4

y=20/4

y=5

so now y is 5

the out put will be:

x = 37,y=5

F(1) = 4, f(n) = f(n<br> − 1) + 11
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't specify what you're supposed to do, so I'll make an educated guess.  

Given the sequence f(1) = 4, f(n) = f(n  − 1) + 11, find the first 5 terms:

f(1) = 4

f(2) = f(2 - 1) + 11 = f(1) + 11 = 4 + 11 = 15

f(3) = f(2) + 11 = 15 + 11 = 26

f(4) = f(3) + 11 = 26 + 11 = 37

f(5) = 37 + 11 = 48
