Answer:
The required equation is:

Explanation:
Let us assume that the hole is at y = 0m, with x as the time.
From the question we have (-1s, 8m) as the vertex (here x being the time variable is supposed to be in seconds and y being the distance variable is supposed to be in meters)
At x = 1s, the ball gets to the hole, therefore we have point (1s, 0m)
We know that the vertex of the parabola y = ax² + bx + c is at

therefore we have:

We then have the following equations:



From the 3rd equation we have
1 X 2a = b.
Therefore we have:


We can simplify both equations and get:


The first equation now becomes:


With a, we can find the values of c and b.


Then the equation is:

The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
the equation of a parabola is
y=a(x-h)²+k
where
(h,k) is the vertex --------> (h,k)--------> (-1,2)
so
y=a(x+1)²+2
point (2,20)
for x=2
y=20
20=a(2+1)²+2--------> 20=a*9+2--------> 9*a=18---------> a=2
the equation of a parabola is
y=a(x+1)²+2-------> y=2(x+1)²+2
therefore
the answer is the option

Answer:


<em>f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
Determine f(g(x))
Determine g(f(x))
Determine if both functions are inverse:
Calculating f(g(x))



Expand Brackets




Calculating g(f(x))




Expand Brackets



Checking for inverse functions

Represent f(x) with y

Swap positions of x and y

Subtract 9 from both sides



Divide through by 3


Take square root of both sides


Represent y with g(x)

Note that the resulting value of g(x) is not the same as 
<em>Hence, f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>
