The function y = -0.03(x - 14)^2 + 6 models the mump of a red kangaroo where x is the horizontal distance in meters and y is the

vertical distance in meters for the height of the jump. What is the kangaroo's maximum height? How long is the kangaroo's jump?

Answer:

Kangaroo's maximum height is 6 m and the kangaroo's jump is 28 m long

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :y = -0.03(x - 14)^2 + 6

To Find : What is the kangaroo's maximum height? How long is the kangaroo's jump?

Solution:

y = -0.03(x - 14)^2 + 6

x is the horizontal distance in meters

y is the vertical distance in meters for the height of the jump.

Substitute y = 0

0 = -0.03(x - 14)^2 + 6

0.03(x - 14)^2 = 6

(x - 14)^2 = \frac{6}{0.03}

(x - 14)^2 =200

(x - 14) =\sqrt{200}

(x - 14) =14.142

x =14.142+14

x =28.142

x≈ 28 m

Now the maximum height will be attained at mid point i.e. \frac{28}{2} =14

Now substitute x= 14

y = -0.03(14 - 14)^2 + 6

y = 6

So, kangaroo's maximum height is 6 m and the kangaroo's jump is 28 m long

The trick here is to find the vertex for its highest point and find the root that is of the greatest value for the final distance.

The nice thing about this function is that it has been written in what we call vertex form. This means that the maximum (or minimum if the parabola opens upwards) is given to us at the end of the function. In this case it is 6. We know that the graph starts at (0,0) (because the cangaroo jumps starting at no height with no distance so far) and so if the x-value given for the vertex is 14, we know that if we double that value, it will give us the second root. The total distance jumped is 28m.

Highest point: 6m
Total distance: 28m

ctto JBarnum

Step-by-step explanation:

P+11=(1/2)(P-13)^2

P+11=(1/2)(P^2-26p+169)

2(P+11)=(1/2)(2)(P^2-26p+169)

2P+22=P^2-26p+169

0=P^2-28p+147      ( -7 and -21)

(P-7)(P-21)=0

P=7,21                     (cant be 7 as 13 years from 7 is negative so peter is 21)

checking:

21+11=32

32=(1/2)(21-13)^2

32=(1/2)(8)^2

32=(1/2)64

32=32

correct

How to divide long division with decimals.
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

If the number your dividing has a decimal, move the decimal point all the way to the right, counting how many spaces you have moved it. Then, move the decimal point in the number you're dividing the same number of places to the right.
