Answer :
Answer:
y=-0.215x^2+35
Step by Step:
Let, [tex]h=0[/tex], [tex]k=35[/tex], [tex]x=8[/tex], [tex]y=21[/tex]
We know that, the general equation of the parabola.
[tex]y-k = a(x-h)^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow y=a(x-h)^2+k .........(i)[/tex]
Substitute the value of [tex]h, k, x, y[/tex] in equation [tex](i)[/tex] and find the value of [tex]a.[/tex]
[tex]21=a(8-0)^2+35[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 21=a\times 8^2+35[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 21=64a+35[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 64a=21-35[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 64a=-14[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow a=\frac{-14}{65}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow a=-0.215[/tex]
Hence, the equation of the parabola is:
[tex]y=-0.215x^2+35[/tex]
