The height h (in feet) of an object dropped from a ledge after x seconds can be modeled by h(x)=−16x2+36 . The object is dropped

again from a different starting height so that it hits the ground 0.5 seconds sooner. Write a function f that models the path of the object the second time it is dropped.

Check the picture below.

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity in feet} \\\\ h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\textit{initial velocity}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h_o=\textit{initial height}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h=\textit{object's height}&\\ \qquad \textit{at "t" seconds} \end{cases}

so the object hits the ground when h(x) = 0, hmmm how long did it take to hit the ground the first time anyway?

\bf h(x)=-16x^2+36\implies \stackrel{h(x)}{0}=-16x^2+36\implies 16x^2=36 \\\\\\ x^2=\cfrac{36}{16}\implies x^2 = \cfrac{9}{4}\implies x=\sqrt{\cfrac{9}{4}}\implies x=\cfrac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x = \cfrac{3}{2}~~\textit{seconds}

now, we know the 2nd time around it hit the ground, h(x) = 0, but it took less time, it took 0.5 or 1/2 second less, well, the first time it took 3/2, if we subtract 1/2 from it, we get 3/2 - 1/2  = 2/2 = 1, so it took only 1 second this time then, meaning x = 1.

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity in feet} \\\\ h(x) = -16x^2+v_ox+h_o \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\textit{initial velocity}&0\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h_o=\textit{initial height}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h=\textit{object's height}&0\\ \qquad \textit{at "t" seconds}\\ x=\textit{seconds}&1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 0=-16(1)^2+0x+h_o\implies 0=-16+h_o\implies 16=h_o \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill h(x) = -16x^2+16~\hfill

quick info:

in case you're wondering what's that pesky -16x² doing there, is gravity's pull in ft/s².

If x=73, what does 4x+3 equal?
never [62]
4(73)+3
273+3
276
 Because you have to subsititue 73 for x. So you have to multiply 73 by 4 then what you get out of that you have to add it by 3.
