The height h of a thrown object as a function of horizontal distance d that it has traveled is a quadratic function. An object i

s thrown from ground​ level, 57 m away from the base of a tower 17 m high and just barely clears the top of the tower. It then lands 57 m away on the other side. Find​ h(d), the quadratic function that represents this.

Answer:

  h(d) = (17/3249)(-d² +114d)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this purpose, it is convenient to translate and scale a quadratic parent function so it has the desired characteristics. We can start with the function ...

  f(x) = 1 -x² . . . . . . . has zeros at x = ±1 and a vertex at (0, 1)

We want to horizontally expand this function by a factor of 57, so we can replace x by x/57. We want to vertically scale it by a factor of 17, so the vertex is at (0, 17). Finally, we want to translate the function 57 m to the right, which requires replacing x with x-57. After these transformations, we have ...

  f(x) = 17(1 -((x-57)/57)²) = (17/3249)(-x²+114x)

Using the appropriate function name and variable, we have ...

  h(d) = (17/3249)(-d² +114d)

Can someone pls tell me how to do this?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Ok don’t worry this is a very easy topic
It falls under “gradients of a straight line”
I’ll try my best to explain the question but u can find plenty of videos online (Fuse School or Cognito) explaining the topic in detail.

Gradient means slope or how steep a line is.
To find the gradient we use the formula

(Change in y) / (change in x)

*Step 1*
Choose any two coordinates (exact) of the line from the graph

For line 1 let’s take
(2,4) (-3,4)
Now from this
the change in y= (4-4) = 0
the change in x = (-3-2) = -5
So the gradient = 0/-5 = 0

*Now this makes sense because a straight horizontal line has no slope and thus has a gradient of zero. So even without all the calculation we can figure this out easily.

Now for line 2 let’s take the coordinates:
(-3,1) (-3,3)

The change in y= (3-1) = 2
The change in x = (-3- -3) = 0
So gradient = 2/0 = “Undefined”

*The gradient of vertical straight line is always undefined (no gradient)*
*The gradient of horizontal straight lines is always 0*

Hope this helped and best of luck for your exams!
