Respuesta :
The height from the graph shows that Paige is 1ft higher than Thuy because Paige is 12ft high while Thuy is 11 ft high.
How do we represent parabolic equations on the graph?
The representation of a parabolic equation on a graph can be determined if the slope and the y-intercept of the parabolic equation are known.
From the given equation:
y = -3x² + 9x + 5
Using the quadratic formula, the x-intercepts are:
[tex]\mathbf{(-\dfrac{-9+\sqrt{141}}{6} ,0),(\dfrac{9+\sqrt{141}}{6} ,0) }[/tex]
The y-intercept = (0, 5)
The vertex which is the up-down parabola of the quadratic equation is maximum at (3/2, 47/4)
Therefore, the height from the graph shows that Paige is 1ft higher than Thuy because Paige is 12ft high while Thuy is 11 ft high.
