Question

The Blue Shell's flight path is modeled by the equation:

y = -10x2 + 100x + 750
a) Fill in the table below. The points will be used to plot on the below graph to create a
parabola.
b) Based on the table, what is the maximum
Y у
height the blue shell reaches?

Answer 1

1. I assume you just pick some arbitrary x and y numbers to plug in the equation. but if you answer part b and c first, part a might be easier for what values to choose.

2. if you do a quick browser search for how to find the max height of a parabola, then you can learn how to.

3. research on Browser. you can also just make y = 0.

vertex is max height, both zeros is just solving the equation for the x values. axis of symmetry is just the vertex point with a line through it.
