The answer is 2.99 explanation is that I used my calculator lol
You have to know what it is before you solve the problem
Answer:
The original function is f(m) = 5(1.07)^m, with the m as an exponent
part A) if the final length is 9.19, we can set f(m) = 9.19 and solve for m
plugging it into a calculator, I get m = ~8.99, so a bit less than 9. therefore, a reasonable domain might be all the m values 9 or below, or m ≤ 9
part B) the y-intercept of a function is the value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0. the two variables in your problem are height and number of months - which one do you think is the independent one, and which one is dependent? then re-interpret "value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0" in terms of the actual quantities that the variables represent
part C) average rate of change from m = 1 to m = 9
f(9)−f(1)9−1
evaluate, and think about what that represents in terms of height and number of months
Answer:
the height of the porch is H=1.91 m
Step-by-step explanation:
neglecting friction and assuming that the porch is horizontal, then the horizontal speed is v₀= 4 m/s and it does not change , thus he hits the base at
t= L/v₀ , L= horizontal distance
then for vertical motion , since the vertical velocity vy is 0 , the initial height is H ( the height of the porche) and the final height hf is 0 , we have
hf = H + vy*t - 1/2*g*t²
0 = H + 0 -1/2*g*t²
H = 1/2*g*t² = 1/2*g*(L/v₀)²
replacing values with g= gravity = 9.8 m/s²
H = 1/2*g*(L/v₀)² = 1/2*9.8 m/s² *( 2.5 m/ 4 m/s)² = 1.91 m
therefore the height of the porch is H=1.91 m
