3) Equation 3 should represent a parabola that is a vertical stretch of the parent function and has a y-intercept greater than 3 and opens down. Equation 3: What strategy are you using to solve this equation and why?Show your work and solution for solving this equation:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic function is given by:

ax² + bx + c where a, b and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation. The value of a determines whether the graph opens up or down (if a is positive opens up and if a is negative opes down), the value of c determines the y intercept (if c is positive, we have a positive intercept and if c is negative the intercept is negative).

The chosen equation is -x² -4x + 5. Since it has y-intercept of 5 and opens down (coefficient of x² is -1)

Let us assume a vertical stretch of 4, the new equation becomes:

4(-x² -4x + 5)

-4x² - 16x + 20

-4x² - 16x + 20 = 0

a = -4, b = -16 and c = 20

Using the quadratic formula:

a. 12.5 kg

step-by-step explanation:

f = ma

so

m = f/a = (2500 n)/(200 m/s²) = 12.5 kg

1 n = 1 kg·m/s²
