The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 12 feet, represented by a vertex of (8,12)​ , and lands 16 feet from the water jet, represented by (16,0)​ . Write a function in vertex form that models the path of the stream

y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the vertex form equation for a parabola:

y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.

Therefore, we have y=a(x-8)^2+12 as our equation so far. If we plug in (16,0) we can find a:

0=a(16-8)^2+12

0=64a+12

-12=64a

-12/64=a

-3/16=a

Therefore, your final equation is y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12

y = (-5.33)(x - 8)^2 + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a parabola which opens down and has its vertex at (8, 12).  We can immediately write y = a(x - 8)^2 + 12, knowing that if x = 8, y = 12.  To find the coefficient '1', substitute 16 for x and 0 for y:

0 = a(16 - 8)^2 + 12, or

-64a = 12, or a = -64/12 = 5.33

Then the desired function is:

y = (-5.33)(x - 8)^2 + 12

there would be 365 different 4 digit numbers

step-by-step explanation:

i belive that it is 365 because i asked google

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
