Special air bags are used to protect scientific equipment when a rover lands on the surface of Mars. On Earth, the function appr

oximates an object's downward speed in feet per second as the object hits the ground after bouncing x ft in height. The corresponding function for Mars is compressed vertically by a factor of about 2/3. Estimate to the nearest tenth how fast a rover will hit Mars' surface after a bounce of 15 ft in height.

The nearest tenth of how fast a rover will hit Mars' surface after a bounce of 15 ft in height is 20.7ft/s.

<h3>What is the approximation about?</h3>

From the question:

Mars: F(x) = 2/3\sqrt{64x}

Therefore, If x = 15

Then:

f (15) =  2/3 \sqrt[8]{15}

= 16/3\sqrt{15}

= 20.7ft/s

Hence, The nearest tenth of how fast a rover will hit Mars' surface after a bounce of 15 ft in height is 20.7ft/s.
