Two friends, Ryan and Tressa, are on vacation. They decide to go bungee jumping off a platform. Their height from the ground can
be modeled by the function y = 4x^2-32x+80, where the x represents the time after they jumped and y represents their height above ground. How high is the platform off the ground?
The function representing the height is y = 4x^2-32x+80
where the x represents the time after they jumped and y represents their height above ground.
We need to find the platform's height.
Step 2 :
Since x represents the time after they jumped, x = 0 when they have not started jumping and the corresponding y will give the height before they start jumping which would be the height of the platform
Answer: The force, F, acting on a charged object varies inversely to the square of its distance, r, from another charged object. When the two objects are 0.64 meter apart, the force acting on them is 8.2 Newtons
