A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y = 0.5(x - 12). A water skier is skiing along a path that begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8. - 4).
a. Write a system of equations to model the problem.
b. Is it possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi? Explain.

step by step solution :

step   1   :

1.1     4 = 22

(4)3 = (22)3 = 26

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((23) • 26)2

step   2   :

equation at the end of step   2   :

  (23 • 26)2

step   3   :

final result :

  218

ya

h is the x-coordinate of the vertex

step-by-step explanation:

we have

in this function

the point represent the vertex of the function

so

h is the x-coordinate of the vertex

k is the y-coordinate of the vertex
