You need to find the vertex so just do \(\large \frac{-b}{2a}\)
whats b
and whats a
Boye, the general quadratic equation is written as \(ax^2+bx+c\)
\[-\frac{ b }{ 2a }\]
Yeah
\[h(t) = -4.9t^{2} + 20 t+65\] The maximum height is when \[h'(t)=0\] Here, \[h'(t) = -9.8t+20\] Solving for t \[-9.8t+20=0\] \[t=20/9.8 =2.04 s\] The maximum height is \[h(2.04) = -4.9*2.04^{2} + 20*2.04+65 = 85.4\] The maximum height is =85.4m
Wow thank you @Narad
@Narad what about this one^
Let the quadratic function be \[y=a(x-h) +k\] \[(h,k)\] is the vertex and \[a\] is a constant \[(a \in \mathbb{R} )\] (h,k )= (3,1) Plugging those values \[y=a(x-3)^{2}+1\] As the roots are 2 and 4 \[a(2-3) ^{2}+1 =0\] \[a+1=0\] \[a= -1\] The quadratic function is \[y=-1(x-3)^{2}+1 =-(x^2-6x+9) +1 =-x ^{2} + 6x-9+1 = -x ^{2} + 6x-8\]
Wow I appreciate it
The first line of the last problem is\[y= a(x-h)^{2} +k\]
oh okay got it
Let the width of the deck be \[= x \] yard Then, \[(8+2x)(10+2x)=120\] \[80+16x+20x+4x ^{2} = 120\] \[4x ^{2}+36x+80-120=0\] \[4x ^{2}+36x-40=0\] Dividing by 4 \[x ^{2}+9x-10=0\] Factorising \[(x-1)(x+10) =0\] \[x=1 \] or \[x=-10\] Discard the negative value The width of the deck is = 1 yard
got it
The equation is
\[4x ^{2}-6x-4=0\]
Divide by 2
\[2x ^{2}-3x-2=0\]
You can factorise the expression or apply the formula
\[(2x+1)(x-2) =0\]
\[2x+1=0 => x=-1/2\]
\[x-2=0 => x=2\]
The solutions are \
what are the solutions?
x=-1/2 or x=2
Okay that makes sense
\[2(x-5) +4=30\] \[2x-10=30-4\] \[2x-10=26\] \[2x=26+10\] \[2x=36\] \[x=36/2=18\]
The equation is \[y=a(x-h)^{2}+k\] \[(h, k) = (-1, -8)\] \[y=a(x+1)^{2} -8\] The roots are x=-3 or x=1 Plugging the first root \[a(-3+1)^{2}-8=0\] \[4a-8=0\] \[a=8/4 =2\] The equation is\[y=2(x+1)^{2}-8=2(x ^{2}+2x+1)-8 =2x ^{2}+4x-6\]
Okay thank you very much I appreciate it (:
