The trajectory of a golf ball in a chip from the rough has a parabolic pattern. The height, in feet, of the ball is given by the equation h(x)=−.25x2+4.3x, where x is the number of feet away from the golf club (along the ground) the ball is.

1) The ball starts (blank/answer) feet above the ground.

2)The ball reaches a maximum height of (Blank/answer) feet at a horizontal distance of (blank/answer) feet away from the golf club it was hit with.

3)The ball returns to the ground at about (blank/answer) feet away.

Answer:

1.) Zero ( 0 )

2.) 55.47 feet , 8.6 feet

3.) 17.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height, in feet, of the ball is given by the equation h(x)=−.25x2+4.3x, where x is the number of feet away from the golf club (along the ground) the ball is.

1.) Since the equation has no intercept,

The ball will start zero feet above the ground.

2.) The distance of the ball at the maximum height will be achieved by using the formula

X = -b/2a

Where b = 4.3, a = -0.25

Substitutes both into the formula

X = -4.3 / 2( - 0.25 )

X = - 4.3 / - 0.5

X = 8.6 feet

Substitute X into the function to get the maximum height

h(x) = −.25(8.6)^2 + 4.3(8.6)

h(x) = 18.49 + 36.98

h(x) = 55.47 feet

3) As the ball returns to the ground, the height will be equal to zero, therefore,

0 = -0.25x^2 + 4.3x

0.25x^2 = 4.3x

X = 4.3/0.25

X = 17.2 feet

The ball returns to the ground at about 17.2 feet away

Can anyone help me with the rest of my ixl m.1 please and thank you
mina [271]

Answer:

u=54

Step-by-step explanation:

VX is middle line of triangle, so

VX=ZY/2.....(1)

We know that

Zy=u

Vx=u-27

Put that in (1) we have:

u-27=u/2

2u-54=u

2u-u=54

u=54

Ryan planted 125 trees on my tree farm 28% of rum or maple trees and the rest of them are pine trees. Kioshi helped plant 125 tr
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Ryan planted more maple trees than Kioshi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of tress planted by Ryan = 125

Percent of maples tree planted by Ryan = 28%

Total number of tress planted by Kioshi = 125

We need to find who planted more maple trees.

Solution:

First we will find the number of maple tree planted by Ryan.

So we can say that;

the number of maple tree planted by Ryan is equal to Percent of maples tree planted by Ryan multiplied by Total number of tress planted by Ryan and then divided by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

the number of maple tree planted by Ryan = \frac{28}{100}\times 125 = 35

Hence Ryan planted 35 maple trees on the tree farm.

Now we will find number of maple tree planted by Kioshi.

But Given:

or every maple trees there are four pine trees

Let the number of maple tree planted by Kioshi be 'x'.

Number of pine trees = 4x

Now we know that;

Total number of tress planted by Kioshi is equal to sum of Number of pine trees and number of maple tree.

framing in equation form we get;

x+4x=125\\\\5x=125

Dividing both side by 5 we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{125}{5}\\\\x=25

Hence Kioshi planted 25 maple trees in the park.

So we can say that.

Ryan planted more maple trees than Kioshi.
