Step-by-step explanation:
On this question we see that we are given two points on a certain graph that has a maximum point at 57 feet and in 0.76 seconds after it is thrown, we know can say this point is a turning point of a graph of the rock that is thrown as we are told that the function f determines the rocks height above the road (in feet) in terms of the number of seconds t since the rock was thrown therefore this turning point coordinate can be written as (0.76, 57) as we are told the height represents y and x is represented by time in seconds. We are further given another point on the graph where the height is now 0 feet on the road then at this point its after 3.15 seconds in which the rock is thrown in therefore this coordinate is (3.15,0).
now we know if a rock is thrown it moves in a shape of a parabola which we see this equation is quadratic. Now we will use the turning point equation for a quadratic equation to get a equation for the height which the format is , where (p,q) is the turning point. now we substitute the turning point
, now we will substitute the other point on the graph or on the function that we found which is (3.15, 0) then solve for a.
0 = a(3.15 - 0.76)^2 + 57
-57 =a(2.39)^2
-57 = a(5.7121)
-57/5.7121 =a
-9.9788169 = a then we substitute a to get the quadratic equation therefore f is
Answer:the height of the balloon is 670.244 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle BLD represents the scenario.
h represents the height of the balloon.
We would apply trigonometric ratio to determine h.
Tan # = opposite side/adjacent side
Looking at triangle LCD,
# = 61 degrees
h = opposite side
x = adjacent side
Tan 61 = h/x
1.7321 = h/x
h = 1.7321x
Looking at triangle LBD,
# = 54 degrees
h = opposite side
x + 100 = adjacent side
Tan 54 = h/x + 100
1.3764 = h/x + 100
h = 1.3764(x + 100)
Therefore,
1.7321x = 1.3764(x + 100)
1.7321x = 1.3764x + 137.64
137.64 = 1.7321x - 1.3764x
137.64 = 0.3557x
x = 137.64/0.3557 = 386.955
h = 1.7321x = 386.955 × 1.7321
h = 670.244 feet
