Answer:
78.71 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
You're looking for the solution to ...
d = 88
0.0015r^2 +r = 88
0.0015r^2 +r -88 = 0
Using the quadratic formula*, we find ...
r = (-1 +√(1² -4(0.0015)(-88)))/(2×0.0015)
r = (-1 +√1.528)/0.003 = 0.236123/0.003 = 78.7077
The speed of the car was about 78.71 mph.
_____
* The quadratic formula will also give a negative answer of about -745 mph, which is not relevant to the situation.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
This is exponential decay; the height of the ball is decreasing exponentially with each successive drop. It's not going down at a steady rate. If it was, this would be linear. But gravity doesn't work on things that way. If the ball was thrown up into the air, it would be parabolic; if the ball is dropped, the bounces are exponentially dropping in height. The form of this equation is
, or in our case:
, where
a is the initial height of the ball and
b is the decimal amount the bounce decreases each time. For us:
a = 1.5 and
b = .74
Filling in,
If ww want the height of the 6th bounce, n = 6. Filling that into the equation we already wrote for our model:
which of course simplifies to
which simplifies to
So the height of the ball is that product.
A(6) = .33 cm
A is your answer
