a physics student stands at the top of a hill that has an elevation of 56 meters. He throws a rock and it goes up in the air and

then falls back past him and lands on the ground below the path of the rock can be modeled by the equation y=-0.04x^2+1.3x+56 where x is the horizontal distance in meters from the starting point on top of the hill and y is the height in meters of the rock above the ground. How far horizontally from the starting point will the rock land? Round to the nearest hundredth.

The answer is 57.04 meters. 
Solution:
The height y of the rock above the ground as a function of the horizontal distance x from the starting point on top of the hill can be modeled by the equation 
     y = -0.04x^2 + 1.3x + 56

We now set this equation equal to zero because the height of the ground where the rock will land is zero:
     0 = -0.04x^2 + 1.3x + 56

Since we have a quadratic equation, we can calculate for the horizontal distance x by using the quadratic formula     
     x = [-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a      
     x = {-1.3 ± sqrt[1.3^2 - 4(-0.04)(56)]} / 2(-0.04)     
     x = (-1.3 ± sqrt(10.65)) / (-0.08)     
     x =  -24.54 meters or  57.04 meters
There are two solutions for x but one is negative, so we choose the positive value.

The length of a rectangle is 7 ft longer than twice the width. If the perimeter is 92 ft find the length and width of the rectan
user100 [1]

Width of the rectangle is 13 ft and length of the rectangle is 33 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given perimeter of the rectangle = 92 ft. Let the width be x, then the length of the rectangle = 2x + 7. Use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width) to find the dimensions.

92 = 2(2x + 7 + x) = 2(3x + 7) = 6x + 14

⇒ 92 = 6x + 14

⇒ 78 = 6x

⇒ x = 78/6

∴ x = 13 ft

⇒ Width of the rectangle = 13 ft

∴ Length of the rectangle = 2x + 7 = 26 + 7 = 33 ft

Suppose that work hours in new zombie are 200 in year 1 and productivity is $8 per hour worked. what is new zombie's real gdp? i
olasank [31]
Given that <span>work hours in new zombie are 200 in year 1 and productivity is $8 per hour worked.

The new zombie's real gdp in year 1 is given by 200 x $8 = $1,600

If work hours increase to 210 in year 2 and productivity rises to $10 per hour.

The new zombie's real gdp in year 2 is given by 210 x $10 = $2,100

The new zombie's rate of economic growth is given by

\frac{\$2,100-\$1,600}{\$1,600} \times 100\%= \frac{\$500}{\$1,600} \times100\%=31.25\%</span>

Match each transformation of function fwith a feature of the transformed function.
Grace [21]

The functions and their properties are

  • The function f(x) has its vertical asymptote at x = 0
  • The x-intercept of the function h(x) is (0.5,0)

<h3>How to match the functions and their properties?</h3>

The equations of the functions are given as:

f(x) = ln(x)

g(x) = -1/2f(x - 2)

h(x) = f(x - 1/2)

From the given graph, we can see that the function f(x) has its vertical asymptote at x = 0

h(x) = f(x - 1/2) implies that the function f(x) is shifted 1/2 units right to form h(x)

This means that the x-intercept of the function h(x) is 1/2 units to the right of the x-intercept of the function f(x)

Hence, the x-intercept of the function h(x) is (0.5,0)
