The height in feet of the missile after 5 seconds in the air is; 875 ft

<h3>How to find the height of a Projectile?</h3>

We are given the quadratic function of the height in terms of time, x, in seconds as; h(x) = - 17x² + 260x

where;

h(x) is height after x seconds

x seconds is time of missile in air when thrown.

Thus, after five seconds, we have;

h(5) = - 17(5)² + 260(5)

h(5) = -425 + 1300

h(5) = 875 feet

Complete question is;

A missile is launched from the ground. Its height, h(x), can be represented by a quadratic function in terms of time, x, in seconds.

After 1 second, the missile is 243 feet in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 452 feet in the air.

The height of the can be represented by this function:

h(x) = - 17x² + 260x

Find the height, in feet, of the missile after 5 seconds in the air.

Given :

Ruth wants to buy a skateboard for $44.

She has $100 in her account. She spent $11.36 to buy stationary.

She also wants to buy some comic books for $3.72 each.

To Find :

The maximum number of comic books, n, that Ruth can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard.

Solution :

Money left after buying skateboard and stationary is :

Money left = $(100 - 11.36 - 44)

Money left = $44.64

Number of comic she can buy is :

$n = \dfrac{44.64}{3.72}\\\\n = 12$

Therefore, she can buy a maximum of 12 books.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Compare the functions shown below:

emmasim [6.3K]

The intersection with the y axis occurs when x = 0.
We have then:

For f (x):
$f (0) = -3 (0) - 5

f (0) = 0 - 5

f (0) = - 5$

For g (x):
We can observe in the graph that when x = 0, the value of the function cuts to the y axis in y = -3

For h (x):
$h (0) = 2cos (2 (0) -\pi) +4

h (0) = 2cos (0-\pi) +4

h (0) = 2cos (-\pi) +4$
$h (0) = 2 (-1) +4

h (0) = -2 + 4

h (0) = 2$

Therefore, the graph with the intersection with the largest y axis is h (x)

Answer:
the greatest y-intercept is for:
C. h(x)

The next four batters on a baseball team have hitting percentages of 0.400, 0.325, 0.250, and 0.300, respectively. The team curr

Travka [436]

In order to the fourth player has the opportunity to bat, he/she needs that the three previous players make hit.

The joint probability of all three first batters make a hit is the product of their hitting percentages:

0.400 * 0.325 * 0.25

Pass the decimal numbers to fractions:

4/ 10 * 325/1000 * 25/100 = 32,500 / 1,000,000

Now simplify the fraction (divide numerator and denominator by 2500):

32,500 / 2,500 = 13

1,000,000 / 2,500 = 400

Then, 32,500 / 1,000,000 = 13 / 400

Answer: 13 / 400
