y = - 2x + (1/2 38) + 2 = y = -2x + 19x + 2 at any second and y = -2x^2 / 2 + 19/2 + 2/2 = <u>- x^2 + 19/2 + 2 </u>= - x (4) + 19/2(4) + 1 = -4+ 38 + 1 = 35 seconds
Step-by-step explanation: We see that 38-2ft = 36ft and y intercept = 2 and then -2x allows us to represent the starting point 2 as -2 (1) to allow a descend to our back to 0 for y one we find y intercept we know - x^2 is our simplified equation and an input into this to find the static and slowed descend back to 0 if you keep inputting at 5 and 6 you see the equation speed up Anyway at (4) substitute = 4 seconds we divide our simplified equation a = -x2 into a b c and divide each by 2 before working out the<u> </u><u>decline</u> of the equation<u> (as equation still represents all ascending and descending) </u>for the 4th second as the height was<u>already said to be at its max at 38 feet see equation in answer to find 4 as substitute for x </u>
If you want to check, simply take the values I calculated, multiply them by 3 and subtract them by 2 for the second and third pair, they will add up to the values that Shelly is willing to purchase, excluding tax.
