Answer: $7.98 \times 10^{22}$

Explanation:

30 mins = 0.5 hour

Number of 30 mins in 24 hours = 24 ÷ 0.5 = 48

The flight of a cannonball toward a hill is described by the parabola y = 2 + 0.12x - 0.002x 2 . the hill slopes upward along a

Alexandra [31]

To find where on the hill the canonball lands
So 0.15x = 2 + 0.12x - 0.002x^2
Taking the LHS expression to the right and rearranging we have -0.002x^2 + 0.12x -
0.15x + 2 = 0.
So we have -0.002x^2 - 0.03x + 2 = 0
I'll multiply through by -1 so we have
0.002x^2 + 0.03x -2 = 0.
This is a quadratic eqn with two solutions x1 = 25 and x2 = -40 since x cannot be negative x = 25. The second solution y = 0.15 * 25 = 3.75
