The flight is in the shape of a parabola with a vertex 5 feet above the water and 1/2 * 33 = 16.5 feet horizontally from the point of leaving the water
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola and here it is (5 , 16.5), so we have the function:-
y = a(x - 16.5)^2 + 5
when x = 0 y = 0 so
0 = a(-16.5)^2 + 5
which gives a = -0.018365
So our function for the flight path is
y = -0.018365(x - 16.5)^2 + 5 Answer
The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.
There is no P in here, you can't solve for P without a P, Or I just don't get the question.
First find the lowest common multiple of the denominators which are 12 3 9 and 27 these all go into 108. Next divide 108 by the original denominators for example 108/12 is 9 then times 9 by the numerator which is 5 and you get 45 so the first one is 45/108. Do this for them all and order by the size of the numerator
So pythagrorean theorem is the ideal way and easiest way to solve this
a^2+b^2=c^2
8.5^2+11^2=x^2
72.25+121=193.25
square root of 193.25=13.9014 or 13.9 in
9.5^2+15^2=x^2
90.25+225=315.25
square root of 315.25=17.7553 or 17.8 ft
