We are  given function: h(x)=-5(x-4)^2+180 for the height in meters, x seconds after the launch.

We need to find the time when it hit the ground.

The height of the object would be 0, when it hit the ground.

<em>So, we need to set the given function equal to 0 and solve for x.</em>

-5(x-4)^2+180 = 0.

Subtracting both sides by 180.

-5(x-4)^2+180-180 = 0-180.

-5(x-4)^2 = -180.

Dividing both sides by -5, we get

(x-4)^2 = 36.

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\sqrt{(x-4)^2} = \sqrt{36}

x-4 = + - 6

x-4 =6 and x-4 =-6

Adding 4 on both sides in both equations, we get

x-4+4 =6+4 and x-4+6 =-6+4

x=10 and x=-2.

<em>x represents time in seconds. So we can't take a negative value for time.</em>

<h3>Therefore,  10 seconds after being launched will the object hit the ground.</h3>

(PLEASE HELP/NO SPAM) Which equation shows the function y=2^x translated 4 units left and 2 units down?
lianna [129]

Answer:

The answer is (h).

Step-by-step explanation:

When y = 2^x is shifted 4 units left, the x shifts 4 units to the left and x becomes (x+4). When the graph is shifted to units down, y has to be subtracted by 2.

The function becomes

y = 2^(x+4) -2.

Finally, you shift -2 to the same side as y.

This becomes

y+2 = 2^(x+4) which is (h)
