The path of a golf ball can be modeled by the quadratic equation y=-0.001x^2+0.3x, where y represents the vertical distance and

x represents the horizontal distance that the ball has traveled in yards. How far does the ball travel before it hits the ground?

Well if y represents the vertical distance of the ball then you want to solve the equation for when y is 0, since 0 would represent the ball being on the ground.  So substitute 0 in for y and solve the equation.

0 = - 0.001x^2 + 0.3x

we have a common factor of x in both terms so we can take that out.

0 = x(-0.001x + 0.3)

Zero product property tells us that we can set both of those products equal to zero and solve

0 = x
0 = -0.001x + 0.3

our first answer is x = 0 is obvious bc thats when the ball starts before you hit it, means it traveled 0.

solving the second equation gives us x = 300 

so the ball traveled 300 "yards" I suppose your problem starts, which is impossible, but no matter thats the answer :-)

y is directly proportional to the positive square root of x when x = 9, y= 12 find y when x =1/2​
ehidna [41]

Y =k√x

12 = 3k

k = 4

now X = 1\2

y = 4√1/2

y = 2√2

Anarel [89]

Answer:

-38h-30

4h+(−6)(5)+(−6)(7h)

=4h+−30+−42h

=(4h+−42h)+(−30)

=−38h+−30

A toy rocket is launched vertically from 5 feet above ground level with an initial velocity of 112 feet per second. The height h
Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)The height h after t seconds is given by the equation h(t)=-16t^2+112t+5.

Where 5 represents 5feet above the ground and this is the height from which the rocket was launched.

The equation is a quadratic equation. The plot of this equation on a graph would give a parabola whose vertex would be equal to the maximum height travelled by the rocket.

The vertex of the parabola is calculated as follows,

Vertex = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = -16

b = 112

Vertex = - - 112/32= 3.5

So the rocket will attain maximum height at 3.5 seconds.

It will also take 3.5 seconds to reach the ground. This means it will take a total of 3.5 seconds + 3.5 seconds

= 7 seconds to hit the ground.

b) to find time it will take to be 100 feet above the ground,

-16t^2+112t-95 = 0

Using general quadratic equation formula,

a = -16

b = 112

c = -95

t = [-b+/-√b^2-4ac]/2a

t = [ -112 +/-√112^2-4×-16×-95]/16 × -2

= [-112 +/-√12544-6080]/-32

= (-112+80.4)/-32 or (-112-80.4)/-32

t = 0.9875 or t = 6.0125

So it will take 0.9875 or approximately 1 second to be 100 feet above the ground
