First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.
If we need the vertex to be at 
, the equation will contain a 
term.
If we start with 
we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at and a maximum of 0.
So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be 
We have
Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at 
, because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want
such that:
Plugging these values gets us
As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.
A relation is (also) a function if every input x is mapped to a unique output y.
In terms of graphical representation, this implies that a graph represents a function if there doesn't exist a vertical line that intersects the graph more than once. So:
- The first graph is exactly a vertical line, so it's not a function.
- The second graph represents the function y=x, so it's a function: you can see that every possible vertical line crosses the graph only once.
- The third graph is not a function, because you can draw vertical lines that cross the graph twice.
- Similarly, in the fourth graph you can draw vertical lines that cross the graph twice
- The fifth graph is a function, because every vertical line crosses the graph once
- The last graph is a function, although discontinuous, for the same reason.
The answer Its 4.5281 ....etc
The answer is 0.3 (1/3.)
Proof?
f(0.3) = 18(0.3) + 8
f(0.3) = 6 + 8
f(0.3) = 14
14 = 14
