  y = (x -1)² -3

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic with a vertex at (h, k) will have an equation of the form ...

 y = a(x -h)² +k

You have (h, k) = (1, -3), and a vertical scale factor* of 1. So, the equation of the graphed curve is ...

  y = (x -1)² -3

* One way to determine the value of "a" in the form shown is to look at the vertical difference between the vertex and the points 1 unit right or left of the vertex. Here, those points are 1 unit above the vertex, so the vertical scale factor "a" is 1.

m a t h w a y. c o m

step-by-step explanation:

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
