A ball is launched from a sling shot. Its height, h(x), can be represented by a quadratic function in terms of time, x, in secon

ds.
After 1 second, the ball is 148 feet in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 272 feet in the air.

Find the height, in feet, of the ball after 6 seconds in the air.

I have no idea any help?

From the data given, generate first the quadratic equation which best describe the height of the ball. The quadratic function has a general form of 
                                             f(x) = Ax^2 + Bx 

Substituting the known data,

                             (1)            148 = A(1^2) + B(1)
                             (2)             272 = A (2^2) + B (2)
solving for A and  B simultaneously, 

                                              A = -12
                                              B = 160

To answer this problem, substitute 6 to x. Thus, after 6 seconds, the height is 528 feet.

When using the quadratic formula we call the part under that radical the discriminant this part of the formula can be used to he
blondinia [14]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is denoted by b^2 - 4ac, and it can give us information about the roots of the quadratic equation.

It tells us that if:

- b^2 - 4ac < 0 , then there are 0 real solutions; they're all imaginary (involving the letter i, which is the square root of -1)

- b^2 - 4ac = 0 , then there is 1 real solution; this 1 solution has a multiplicity of 2 because the roots of the quadratic are the same number

- b^2 - 4ac > 0 , then there are 2 real solutions; there are no imaginary solutions

Looking at the possible choices, we see that all of A (A, I'm assuming you meant to write "if the discriminant is zero there is one real solution"), B, and C reflect the above properties.

Thus, they're all right.

According to the natural sequence of exponents, how would you explain 2-3
Vikentia [17]
We have a base 2 with an exponent power raised to -3
so in order to have a positive exponent factor, we take reciprocal of the number1/2^3.
now that the base has a positive exponent number, we simply multiply it the times on the exponent number, so: 1/2*2*2 = 1/8

hope this help

Garth estimated the height of the door to his classroom in meters .What is a reasonable estimate?
natulia [17]
The height of a door will be around 6 feet and 8 inches, so about 7 feet. You will need to convert this to meters. To do this, you should first know that 1 meter = 3.28 feet. Now, divide 7 by 3.28:

7/3.28 = 2.134

So, a reasonable estimate would be 2 meters.
