1. I'm assumig that the paths are perfect parabolas

this means that their general forms can be written in y=ax^2+bx+c

it's easier to find vertex form first then expand to get general form

vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k where the vertex is (h,k) and a is a constant


firework #1

vertex is (10,50), so (h,k)=(10,50) and h=10, k=50

h_1=a(t-10)^2+50

to find the value of a, subsitute another point

(0,0)

0=a(0-10)^2+50)

0=100a+50

a=\frac{-1}{2}

so the equation in vertex form is h_1=\frac{-1}{2}(t-10)^2+50

expand to get general form

h_1=\frac{-1}{2}(t^2-20t+100)+50

h_1=\frac{-1}{2}t^2+10t-50+50

h_1=\frac{-1}{2}t^2+10t





2.

same as last time

vertex is (10,72) so (h,k)=(10,72) so h=10 and k=72

equation is h_2=a(t-10)^2+72

find a

use another point

(0,22)

22=a(0-10)^2+72

22=100a+72

-50=100a

a=\frac{-1}{2}

so the equation in vertex form is h_2=\frac{-1}{2}(t-10)^2+72




3.

range is the numbers that h is allowed to be

think about what h represents. it represents the height of the rocket

from the graph, we can see that the lowest possible height is 0yd and the highest height is 50yd

so range is 0 to 50 or 0≤h≤50


domain is the numbers that t is allowed to be

think about what t represents. it represents how long the rocket has been flying

it will stop flying when it hits the ground or at t=20

it starts flying at t=0

so domain is from 0 to 20 or 0≤t≤20

jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds.At this rate how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1,760 yards)​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.

What is the greatest common factor of x^4 and x^5?
Naily [24]

Answer:

x^4

Explanation:

Breakdown x^4 = <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · <u>x</u>

Breakdown x^5 = <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> ·  <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · x

Here the common factor is x · x · x · x = x^4

Hence, the greatest common factor of x^4 and x^5 is x^4.
