.............:D
I saw this question earlier and it couldn't be answered because we didn't know how high above the ground point A is. Are you saying by A(8), that it is 8 m up?
|dw:1350494361859:dw|
yes, do you know what equation to use to figure it out? :/
Yes, but can't do it without the coordinates of that third point. So that is "yes" point A is 8m up?
Yes, ok, we're in business. You have three points on a parabola (0,1.39) (18,8) (45,0) You can use the standard form of a quadratic, y=ax^2+bx+c, and plug in each point to solve for a, b, and c.
You'll have to solve a system of two linear equations to get a and b.
Once you have the equation for the parabola, find the vertex.
Oh okaay :) Thank you soo muchh! I understand it now
are you still there? haha .. i have no idea how to work this :// but i need to ask you something
I need to leave in a minute. What's your question?
