Answer:
g(x) = x^2/16
Step-by-step explanation:
To stretch a function horizontally by a factor of k, replace x with x/k.
You want a stretch factor of 4, so your function is ...
g(x) = f(x/4) = (x/4)^2
g(x) = x^2/16
__
The attached graph shows the horizontal stretch.
Answer:
The rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the rocket, after x seconds, is given by the following equation:

It hits the ground when
, so we have to find x for which
, which is a quadratic equation.
Finding the roots of a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:



In this question:


So




Since time is a positive measure, the rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given function is a piecewise defined function.

is the y-value that corresponds to

To determine that y-value, we need to trace from

to where it meets the graph.
We then trace to the y-axis to determine the corresponding y-value as shown in the diagram.
From the graph, we can see that this x-value corresponds to a y-value of

This implies that, when

Therefore

See graph.
Only D is correct, it intersects at 90 degrees so it cant be obtuse or acute and never intersecting would be parallel lines <span />
