Answer:

t as a function of height h is  t = √600 - h/16

The time to reach a height of 50 feet is 5.86 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Function for height is h(t) = 600 - 16t²

where t = time lapsed in seconds after an object is dropped from height of 600 feet

t  as a function of height h

replacing the function with variable h

h = 600 - 16t²

Solving for t

Subtracting 600 from both side

h - 600 = -16t²

Divide through by -16

600 - h/ 16 = t²

Take square root of both sides

√600 - h/16 = t

Therefore, t = √600 - h/16

Time to reach height 50 feet

t = √600 - h/16

substituting h = 50 in the equation

t = √600 - 50/16

t = √550/16

t= 34.375

t = 5.86 minutes

The equation x2 16 + y2 9 = 1 defines an ellipse, which is graphed above. in this excercise we will approximate the area of this
Citrus2011 [14]
(a) 4 
(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)  
The best guess to the formula using knowledge of the general formula for an ellipse is: 
x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1  
(a). An ellipse is reflectively symmetrical across both the major and minor axis. So if you can get the area of the ellipse in a quadrant, then multiplying that area by 4 would give the total area of the ellipse. So the factor of 4 is correct. 
 (b). The general equation for an ellipse is not suitable for a general function since it returns 2 y values for every x value. But if we restrict ourselves to just the positive value of a square root, that problem is easy to solve. So let's do so:
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0
 x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9
 -(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2
 9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2
 sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y
 y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)
