Answer:

-8/7 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2         x+1

----- = -----------

12         x+2

Using cross products

-2 (x+2) = 12 (x+1)

Distribute

-2x -4 = 12x+12

Add 2x to each side

-2x+2x -4 = 12x+2x+12

-4 = 14x +12

Subtract 12 from each side

-4-12 = 14x

-16 = 14x

Divide each side by 14

-16/14 =14x/14

-8/7 =x

Leokris [45]

Answer:

V0 = 48 feet per second is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function which represents height of a golf ball in feet after x seconds after a player hits it.

y = -16x² + v0x

here v0 is the initial velocity and we have to calculate initial velocity. The ball returns to the ground 3 seconds after it is hit.

After 3 seconds height of the ball will be 0.

Now from the given function

0 = -16(3)² + v0×3

3v = 16×9

v0 = 16×9/3 = 48 feet per second.
