PLEASE HELP QUICK Suppose a particle is moving along the x-axis. The position, measured in feet, of the particle can be modeled

by the quadratic equation y = 3x2 − 12x − 9, where x is time, in seconds. What does the number −9 represent for the quadratic function? The particle is 9 feet to the left of the origin. The particle is moving left 9 feet per second. The particle is accelerating at −9 feet per second squared. The particle has stopped at 9 seconds.

When 'x' is zero, 'y' is -9.

That simply means that when time began ... when the starter

fired his pistol and the clock started running ... the particle

was 9 units 'before' zero, in the region of negative location.


By the way ... the way the question is written is enough to confuse

anyone, and I hope that hasn't contributed to your trouble with it.


If the particle is moving along the x-axis, then 'x' is its location,

and the time in seconds is something else. Say 't' for example.

Also, if it's moving along the x-axis, then 'y' is always zero.


The position of the particle is modeled by an equation like


X = 3t² - 12t - 9 .


'X' is the position of the particle, and 't' is the time in seconds.

A boat starts from a port and moves 12 miles north and then moves 5 miles east. what is the present distance of the boat from th
disa [49]
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.

Solution:

h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13

The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
