Answer: B. H(t) = -6.9(t - 2.3)² + 112
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex ⇒ k is the maximum height
the distance traveled is when y = 0 ⇒
Given: H(t) = -7.1(t - 2.3)² + 98
maximum height (k) = 98 feet
distance traveled (x) = = 6.02 seconds
A) H(t) = -7.5(t - 2.2)² + 112
maximum height (k) = 112 feet
distance traveled (x) = = 6.06 seconds
B) H(t) = -6.9(t - 2.3)² + 112
maximum height (k) = 112 feet
distance traveled (x) = = 6.33 seconds
C) H(t) = -6.9(t - 2.4)² + 95
maximum height (k) = 95 feet
This has a lower height than the given equation.
D) H(t) = -7.5(t - 2.3)² + 95
maximum height (k) = 95 feet
This has a lower height than the given equation.
Both options A and B travel higher and stay in the air longer than last year's winner, however option B stays in the air longer than option A.
Step One
Begin by getting one side of the question equal to zero.
32x -4 = 4x^2 + 60 Add - 32x + 4 from both sides.
0 = 4x^2 + 60 - 32x + 4 Collect like terms.
0 = 4x^2 - 32x + 64
Step Two
For this question, you could divide both sides by 4. It just makes the steps later on easier.
0 = x^2 - 8x + 16
Step Three
Calculate the discriminate.
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
a = 1; b = -8; c = 16
b^2 - 4*a*c = (-8)^2 - 4*(1)(16) = 64 - 64 = 0
There is only 1 root. It is real and it is rational.
