Answer:
- Josh's book lands first
- Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...
h(t) = -16t² +60t +40
We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....
0 = -16t² +60t +40
Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...
t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277
__
Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...
0 = -16t² +48t +40
t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794
__
The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...
4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds
Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.
Answer:
The equation of the new function is
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose we have a function f(x).
a*f(x), a > 1, is vertically stretching f(x) a units. Otherwise, if a < 1, we are vertically compressing f(x) by a units.
f(x - a) is shifting f(x) a units to the right.
f(x + a) is shifting f(x) a units to the left
In this question:
Vertically compressing by 1/2:
This is the same as multiplying the function by 1/2. So
The equation of the new function is
