Answer:

Maximum height of quarter tower = 9.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The thickness of a quarter = \frac{1}{5} inches

Weight of a quarter = 1 ounce

The maximum weight that could safely hold = 3 pounds.

<u>The conversion factor for ounce to pound is 1 ounce = 0.0625 pound</u>

The number of quarter used in the tower = no of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds.

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = \frac{3}{0.0625}

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = 48

So the height of quarter tower = 48 \times \frac{1}{5} inches

                                                   = 9.6 inches.

The flight of a cannonball toward a hill is described by the parabola y=2+0.12x- 0.0004x^2
Stells [14]

The computation shows that the placw on the hill where the cannonball land is 3.75m.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

To find where on the hill the cannonball lands

So 0.15x = 2 + 0.12x - 0.002x²

Taking the LHS expression to the right and rearranging we have:

-0.002x² + 0.12x -.0.15x + 2 = 0.

So we have -0.002x²- 0.03x + 2 = 0  

I'll multiply through by -1 so we have

0.002x² + 0.03x -2 = 0.

This is a quadratic equation with two solutions x1 = 25 and x2 = -40 since x cannot be negative x = 25.

The second solution y = 0.15 * 25 = 3.75

X= -1 beacuse negative one plus one is 0 and that will equal zero for both sides

First we will calculate the distance AB. 
AB=B-A=23-5=18.
If C is 5/9 of the distance, mathematically speaking that means:
C= \frac{5}{6} *AB= \frac{5}{6} *18=15.
R: The coordonate of C is 15.
