Answer:
a.) 15 feet
b.) 3.25 seconds
c.) 17.1125 feet
d.) 12.5 seconds
Explanation:
a
This is just asking for the y intercept
to get this just do h(0)= 15
b
This is asking for the x value of the vertex
solve that through -b/2a
-1.3/(2*-.2)= 3.25
c
This is asking for the y value of the vertex
to solve this plug in the x value from b
-.2*3.25²+1.3*3.25+15= 17.1125
d
This is asking for an x intercept
using the quadratic formula...
*note the (+-) before the radical is ± *
logic will tell us that a negative x intercept doesn't make any sense so we only take the positive value, 12.5
