y = 8 [tex](\frac{1}{2}) ^{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

an exponential function can be expressed in the form

y = a [tex]b^{x}[/tex]

to find a and b use points that lie on the graph

using (0, 8 ) , then

8 = a[tex]b^{0}[/tex] [ [tex]b^{0}[/tex] = 1 ] , then a = 8

y = 8[tex]b^{x}[/tex]

using (1, 4 ) , then

4 = 8[tex]b^{1}[/tex] = 8b ( divide both sides by 8 )

[tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex] = b , that is b = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola is y = a(x - h)^2 + k

(h, k) is the vertex, aka (1, -9)

(x, y) is the point that is passed through aka (2, -7)

Using this, we can substitute these values into the equation.

First, let's work with the vertex

We know that h = 1 and k = -9:  y = a(x - 1)^2 - 9

Now, let's substitute in the point that was given: -7 = a(2 - 1)^2 - 9

Now, we can find the a-value by simplifying: -7 = a - 9   -->  a = 2

Finally, we can make the equation by taking our equation that we made with the vertex but just putting the a-value in since we know it.

y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 9 is the equation of the parabola in vertex form

the equation for meters is usually as you see in the picture but for this exercise it got rounded from -4.9 to -5, which is fine.

let's notice that "t"  has two values, however the seconds cannot be a negative value, so we dismiss that one.

The ball will strike the ground 4 seconds after it is thrown When an object is thrown upward, its height , in meters, is given by the quadratic equation S = -5t² + vt + h

To find the time at which the ball will hit the ground, we need to determine when the height (S) of the ball becomes zero. At that moment, the ball will be at ground level.

The height (S) of the ball is given by the quadratic equation:

S = -5t² + vt + h

where:

S = height of the ball in meters

t = time of flight in seconds

v = initial velocity in meters/second (upward velocity, so it's positive)

h = height above level ground from which the object is thrown

Given that the initial velocity (v) is 16 meters/second, and the height above the ground (h) is 16 meters, we can substitute these values into the equation:

S = -5t² + 16t + 16

Now, to find the time (t) at which the ball hits the ground, we need to solve for t when S = 0:

0 = -5t² + 16t + 16

This is a quadratic equation in standard form (ax² + bx + c = 0), and we can solve it by factoring or using the quadratic formula. In this case, let's use the quadratic formula:

The quadratic formula is given by:

t = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

In our case, a = -5, b = 16, and c = 16. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula:

t = (-(16) ± √(16² - 4*(-5)16)) / 2(-5)

t = (-16 ± √(256 + 320)) / -10

t = (-16 ± √576) / -10

Now, find the two possible solutions for t:

t₁ = (-16 + √576) / -10

t₁ = (-16 + 24) / -10

t₁ = 8 / -10

t₁ = -0.8 seconds

t₂ = (-16 - √576) / -10

t₂ = (-16 - 24) / -10

t₂ = -40 / -10

t₂ = 4 seconds

We have two solutions for t: t = -0.8 seconds and t = 4 seconds. However, we can disregard the negative value for time, as time cannot be negative in this context.

So, the ball will strike the ground 4 seconds after it is thrown.

The dimensions of the cup that minimize the construction cost are 2 x 2 x 5 in

Given:  Capacity = 20 in³, cost of material for the side = 12¢/in² and cost of material for the base = 60¢/in²

In order to calculate the dimension of the cup

Let h and x represent the height and square base respectively

Thus, the capacity (volume) of the pencil cup is can be represented as:

V = x²h     (where V = 20)

20 = x²h

h = 20/x²

At minimum cost, we have:

C(x) = 60x² +  12(4xh)

C(x) = 60x² +  48xh         (put h = 20/x²)

C(x) = 60x² +  48x(20/x²)

C(x) = 60x² +  960/x

Differentiating with respect to x, we have:

C(x) = 120x - 960/x²      (multiply through by x²)

120x³-960 = 0

120x³ = 960

x³ = 960/120

x³ = 8

x = ∛8 = 2 in

For the height:

h = 20/x²

h = 20/2²

h = 20/4 = 5 in
