A water balloon is tossed into the air. The function h(x)=-0.5(x-4)squared +9 gives the height, in the feet, of the balloon from

the surface of a pool as a function of the balloons horizontal distance from where it was first tossed. Will the balloon hit the ceiling 12 ft above the pool? Explain

Answer:

No, the maximum height that the balloon can reach is 9ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

The function h(x) =-0.5(x-4)² +9, is a Quadratic Function in the Vertex form.

Vertex form: f (x) = a(x - h) 2 + k

Where:

  • (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola-
  • h is the horizontal shift (how far left, or right, the graph has shifted from x = 0).  
  • k represents the vertical shift (how far up, or down, the graph has shifted from y = 0).  

In this case a = -0.5, it means that the parabola opens downward and has a maximum point at the vertex.

So, the maximum height that the balloon can reach is k=9ft.

9 ∠ 12

The balloon will not hit the ceiling 12 ft above the pool.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Which statements about the system are true?
Kruka [31]

2 Answers:

  • B)  The lines are parallel
  • C)  The lines have the same slope.

Parallel lines always have equal slope, but different y intercepts.

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

Explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for y

3y - x = -7

3y = -7+x

3y = x-7

y = (x-7)/3

y = x/3 - 7/3

y = (1/3)x - 7/3

The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 1/3 as the slope and b = -7/3 as the y intercept. We see that the first equation, where y was already isolated, also has a slope of m = 1/3. The two equations of this system have the same slope. Choice C is one of the answers.

However, they don't have the same y intercept. The first equation has y intercept b = -4, while the second has b = -7/3. This means that they do not represent the same line. They need to have identical slopes, and identical y intercepts (though the slope can be different from the y intercept of course) in order to have identical lines. So we can rule out choice D and E because of this.

Because the two equations have the same slope, but different y intercepts, this means the lines are parallel. Choice B is the other answer.

Parallel lines never touch or intersect, which in turn means there is no solution point. A solution point is where the lines cross. We can rule out choice A.

I recommend using your graphing calculator, Desmos, GeoGebra, or any graphing tool (on your computer or online) to graph each equation given. You should see two parallel lines forming. I used GeoGebra to make the graph shown below.

oee [108]

Answer:

Center of the Bend  ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

when the inside edge of a bend is extended using a straightedge and also been marked with a pencil the intersecting point of the lines making up the bend is most likely to occur at the center of the bend this is because the center of the bend is the Origin of  the formation of the bend.
