Answer:

the standard form of the function that models this situation should be f(x) = -0.5x^{2} +40x

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets visualize the table for x and y values first:

<h3>x                y</h3>

0                   0  

2                  78

4                  152

6                  222

8                  288

It is clear from the problem, we have to obtain the values of a, b, and c from the equation f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

We need to make use of data in the table to get the values a, b and c. As a, b, and c are three unknowns, we will have to find three equation using the values in data table.

So, if we put x = 0, and y = 0 in f(x) = ax² + bx + c, we can get the value of c.

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

0 = 0 + 0 + c

Lets put some points or pairs to find the values of a and b.

Putting the pair (6, 222) in f(x) = ax² + bx + c

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

222 = a(6)² + b(6) + 0

222 = 36a + 6b          

Dividing the above equation by 6 to further reduce it

37 = 6a + b   (Equation 1)

Putting the pair (8, 288) in f(x) = ax² + bx + c

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

288 = a(8)² + b(8) + 0

288 = 64a + 8b

Dividing the above equation by 8 to further reduce it

36 = 8a + b    (Equation 2)

Subtracting Equation 2 i.e. 36 = 8a + b  from Equation 1 i.e. 37 = 6a + b

1 = -2a

a = -0.5

Putting a = -0.5 in Equation 2

36 = 8a + b

36 = 8(-0.5) + b

36 = -4 + b

b = 40

Hence, the standard form of the function that models this situation should be f(x) = -0.5x^{2} +40x

Answer:

  30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (15 km)/(0.5 km/h) = 30 h

It takes 30 hours for the lava to reach the sea.
