We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.
A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.
Approaches 0 as x approaches infinity or C
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The function used to represent the height of a punted football can be modeled as
f(x) = -.0079x² + 1.8x + 1.5
Where f(x) is the height in feet, and x is the horizontal distance, also in feet.
a) when the ball was punted, x = 0, therefore, the height of the punted ball would be
f(x) = -.0079(0)² + 1.8(0) + 1.5
f(x) = 1.5 feet
The height is 1.5 feet
b) The equation is a quadratic equation. The plot of this equation on a graph would give a parabola whose vertex would be equal to the maximum height reached by the punted ball.
The vertex of the parabola is calculated as follows,
Vertex = -b/2a
From the equation,
a = - 0.0079
b = 1.8
Vertex = - - 1.8/0.0079 = 227.84 feet
So the maximum height of the punt is 227.84 feet
