We are given : Zeros x=7 and x=4 and leading coefficent 1.
In order to find the quadratic function in standard form, we need to find the factors of quadratic function first and the multiply by given leading coefficent.
For the given zeros x=7 and x=4, we get the factors (x-7) and (x-4).
So, we need to multiply (x-7) and (x-4) by foil method.
We get
(x-7)(x-4) = x*x + x* -4 -7*x -7*-4
x^2 -4x -7x +28.
Combining like terms, we get
-4x-7x = -11x
x^2 -4x -7x +28 = x^2 -11x +28.
Now, we need to multiply x^2 -11x +28 quadratic by leading coefficent 1.
We get
1(x^2 -11x +28) = x^2 -11x +28.
Therefore, the required quadratic function in standard form is x^2 -11x +28.
Rate of Change:
At 1 mile in 30 seconds.
At 5 miles in 2.5 minutes. 2.5 minutes = 2.5*60 = 150 seconds.
Rate of change = Change in height / Change in time
= (h₂-h₁)/(t₂-t₁)
= (5 -1) /(150 -30) = 4/120 = (1/30) = 0.0333 miles per second.
= (1/30) miles per second or 0.0333 miles per second.
To have the answer in miles per minute.
(1/30) miles per second = (1/30) miles/second.
60 seconds = 1minute
1 second = (1/60) minute.
(1/30) miles/second = (1/30) miles/(1/60)minute
= (1/30) *60 miles / minute
= 2 miles per minute.
