For this parabola we have:
f ( 0 ) = 8
and : f ( 1 ) = 24
In the first equation ( A) :
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 - 1 )² + 24 = - 16 * 1 + 24 = 8 ( correct )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² + 24 = 24 ( correct )
For B:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 + 1 )² + 24 = - 16 + 24 = 8 ( correct )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 + 1 )² + 24 = - 16 * 4 + 24 = - 64 + 24 = 40 ( false )
For C:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 - 1 )² - 24 = - 16 - 24 = - 40 ( false )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² - 24 = - 24 ( false )
For D:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 + 1 )² - 24 = - 16 - 24 = - 40 ( false )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² - 24 = - 24 ( false )
Answer:
A ) f ( t ) = - 16 * ( t - 1 )² + 24
-12+8x+2x=2x-8
10x-12=2x-8
8x=4
x=1/2
C
Pour 4 times of 124-gallon into a big jug.
Amount of water = 124 x 4 = 496 gallons
Then use the 45-gallon jug to scoop out the water 11 times.
Amount of water scooped out = 11 x 45 = 455 gallons
Water remaining = 496 - 450 = 1 gallon.
