Answer:

Parabolas are frequently used in physics and engineering for things such as the design of automobile headlight reflectors and the paths of ballistic missiles. Parabolas are frequently encountered as graphs of quadratic functions.

The same effects occur with sound and other forms of energy. This reflective property is the basis of many practical uses of parabolas. The parabola has many important applications, from a parabolic antenna or parabolic microphone to automobile headlight reflectors to the design of ballistic missiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2x+55=180

5x+55=180

5x=180-55

5x=125

X=125/5

X=25

So the value of X is 25

Suppose you hit a fly ball with an initial upward velocity of 20 feet per second. Which of the following equations would be a re
baherus [9]
A=g≈-32

v=⌠a dt  since a≈-32

v=-32t+C, where C is the initial velocity, which we are told is 20 ft/s

v=-32t+20

h=⌠v dt

h=-32t^2/2+20t+C, where C is the initial height, so what is a reasonable initial height?  How about 3 ft since we are swinging a bat around maybe our waist level... maybe :P

h=-16t^2+20t+3

Your choices may have made a different assumption about the initial height of course but you did not show your choices, but certainly it will be:

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+hi, where hi is the initial height in feet.

This of course ignores air resistance and flight dynamics of a spinning ball with seams, which will make a significant difference in real life :)
