Jamie kicked a soccer ball that traveled along a path described by the parabola y = -x^2 +8x, where y equals the height of the soccer ball in feet, and x = the horizontal distance in feet that the ball has traveled from jamie.  how many feet from jamie does the soccer ball hit the ground?

Me what is the value of x? showing work would be appreciated - ! : )

Which of the following describes how to translate the graph y = xi to obtain the graph of y = x - 11 - 12 1 unit left and 1 unit down 1 unit left and 1 unit up 1 unit right and 1 unit down 1 unit right and 1 unit up

As part of an annual fundraiser to raise money for diabetes research, diane joined a bikeathon. the track she biked on was 1,920 yards long. diane biked 38.5 laps. her sponsors agreed to donate an amount of money for each mile she biked. how many miles did she bike? first fill in the blanks on the left side using the ratios shown. then write your answer. given ratios: 5280ft / 1 mi , 1 mi /5280 ft , 1,920 yards / 1 lap , 1 lap / 1,920 yards , 3 ft / 1 yard , 1 yard / 3 ft. blanks: 38.5 laps / 1 yard x (blank) x (blank) x (blank) = (blank) miles i'm really confused on how to do this, and the explanations aren't exactly . if you could walk me through how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
