An engineer is designing a new dam for a river. The retaining wall of the dam will be angled such that the height above the grou
nd of the top at the wall is three times the horizontal distance between where it begins and where it ends at ground level. The outer angled wall will be 100 feet long this relationship is shown in the picture along with the rest of the question.
A: x+y=100
y=3x
B: x^2 + y^2 = 100^2
y= 3x
C: x+y=100
x=3y
D: x^2 + y^2 = 100^2
x=3y
A: x+y=100
y=3x
B: x^2 + y^2 = 100^2
y= 3x
C: x+y=100
x=3y
D: x^2 + y^2 = 100^2
x=3y

Answer:
4) y = -3(x+2)^2 +4; y = -3x^2-12x-8; ABC=(-3, -12, -8)
5) y = 0.5(x-1)^2-2; y = 0.5x^2-x-1.5; (h,k) = (1, -2)
6) y = -0.3(x+2)^2-6; y = -0.3x^2-1.2x-7.2; (h,k) = (-2, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing a quadratic equation through a set of points is most easily done using the regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet.
4) see the first attachment
y = -3(x+2)^2 +4 . . . vertex form
y = -3x^2 -12x -8 . . . standard form (A, B, C) = (-3, -12, -8)
__
5) see the second attachment
y = 0.5(x -1)^2 -2 . . . vertex form; vertex = (1, -2)
y = 0.5x^2 -x -1.5 . . . standard form
__
6) see the third attachment
y = -0.3(x +2)^2 -6 . . . vertex form; vertex = (-2, -6)
y = -0.3x^2 -1.2x -7.2 . . . standard form
_____
Doing this without machine help requires you pick a form of the equation you want, fill in the x- and y-values for three of the given points, then solve the resulting equations for the unknown parameters. Usually, we use the form ...
y = ax^2 +bx +c
which will result in three linear equations for a, b, c. Those can be solved by any of the usual methods.
