The height of a punted football can be modeled by the function: f(x) = -.0079 x2 + 1.8x + 1.5. In this equation, f(x) is the hei

ght in feet, and x is the horizontal distance, also in feet, from the point the ball is punted. Using that function, work through the following questions: How high is the ball when it is punted? What is the maximum height of the punt?

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

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common difference, take the second term and subtract the first term

-2 - 3 = -5

Check with the third term and the second term

-7 - (-2) = -7 +2 = -5

The common difference is -5

You want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. Using -10 m/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity, what
MrRissso [65]

<u>Answer</u>

<em>The total displacement of the object is 320 m</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

From the formulas of mechanics,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where,

s = displacement

u = initial velocity = 0               ( ∵ As the body was in rest in the beginning )

t = time taken = 8 s

a = acceleration = -10 m/s²      ( ∵ -ve is because of the downward motion)

Putting all the values,

s= 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2}(-10)8^{2} = -320 \ m ( ∵ -ve displacement means it is in downwards)
