Hi there
Would like a little help on this problem here if thats ok?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
I have worked out the equation for the parabola:
x^2 = -28(y-8.5)
However, I am puzzled on how to move on from that point onwards.
Again, it's another study I am stuck on!
Unfortunately I was only given one example on this particular equation (especially a negative quadratic equation), but it doesn't suit the problem I am trying to solve on this one.
Here is that example:
I am unsure as to what I should do next. I am familiar with factorising and squaring but only worked on normal parabolas that already have their equations given. (The canvas is blank on this round!)
I feel that I need to substitute 6 metres somehow to give me an answer. I was trying to find a way to calculate everything that I have learnt but it doesn't seem to give me the answer I am looking for.
Trying not to rely too much on the desmos calculator but maybe I might need to for an answer.
Who knows? Would love your input on this. Cheers! :smile:
