Answer:

The height of the missile in the air  after 11 seconds is 330 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for the quadratic function f(x)= ax^2 + bx + c, which is the function of the parabola model.

We are given two points.

(1, 130) and (2, 240)

Here the first coordinate represents the x (time) and the second coordinate represents h(x), which is height.

Now plug these two coordinates and find the two equations.

(1, 130), the equation is

130 = a.(1)^2 + b(1) + c, where "c" is the initial height. Which is equal to zero.

Therefore, we get

130 = a + b + 0

a + b = 130 -------(1)

Now let's form the second equation using the coordinate (2, 240)

240 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 0

240 = 4a + 2b -------------(2)

Now let's solve the equations (1) and (2) and find the value of "a" and "b"

a + b = 130 can be written as a = 130 - b

Here we can use the substitution method.

Now plug in a = 130 - b in the second equation, we get

240 = 4(130 - b) + 2b

240 = 520 - 4b + 2b

240 = 520 - 2b

2b = 520 - 240

2b = 280

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

b = 140

Now plug in b = 140 in a = 130 -b and find the value of a

a = 130 - 140

a = -10

Now we got a = -10 and b = 140.

We plug in a = -10 and b = 140 in the general form, we gety

h(x) = -10x^2 + 140x + c

Where c is the initial height, which is equal to 0.

h(x) = -10x^2 + 140x

Now plug in x = 11 seconds and find the height.

h(11) = -10(11)^2 + 140 (11)

= -10 (121) + 1540

= - 1210 + 1540

h(11) = 330 feet,

Therefore, the height of the missile in the air  after 11 seconds is 330 feet.

Identify the x-intercepts of the function below f(x)=x^2+12x+24
damaskus [11]

<u>ANSWER:  </u>

x-intercepts of  \mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, f(x)=x^{2}+12 x+24 -- eqn 1

x-intercepts of the function are the points where function touches the x-axis, which means they are zeroes of the function.

Now, let us find the zeroes using quadratic formula for f(x) = 0.

X=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Here, for (1) a = 1, b= 12 and c = 24

X=\frac{-(12) \pm \sqrt{(12)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 24}}{2 \times 1}

\begin{array}{l}{X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144-96}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 3}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm 4 \sqrt{3}}{2}} \\ {X=\frac{2(-6+2 \sqrt{3})}{2}, \frac{2(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}{2}} \\\\ {X=(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}\end{array}

Hence the x-intercepts of  \mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})

Mina wore a pedometer on her foot for 3 hours. She recorded the number of steps she walked for each hour. The first hour she too
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Mina took 2,986 steps on the third hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you know that Mina took a total of 9,245 steps in three hours and as you know the quantity of steps she took on the first and second hour, you can subtract the steps she took on the first and second hour from the total amount of steps to determine the steps she took on the third hour:

9,245-2,387-3,872=2,986

According to this, the answer is that Mina took 2,986 steps on the third hour.
