A rock is thrown upward from a bridge that is 57 feet above a road. The rock reaches its maximum height above the road 0.76 seco

nds after it is thrown and contacts the road 3.15 seconds after it was thrown.
(a) Write a Function (f) that determines the rock's height above the road (in feet) in terms of the number of seconds t since the rock was thrown.

answer:

f(t) = -9.9788169(t -0.76)^2 +57

Step-by-step explanation:

On this question we see that we are given two points on a certain graph that has a maximum point at 57 feet and in 0.76 seconds after it is thrown, we know can say this point is a turning point of a graph of the rock that is thrown as we are told that the function f determines the rocks height above the road (in feet) in terms of the  number of seconds t since the rock was thrown therefore this turning point coordinate can be written as (0.76, 57) as we are told the height represents y and x is represented by time in seconds. We are further given another point on the graph where the height is now 0 feet on the road then at this point its after 3.15 seconds in which the rock is thrown in therefore this coordinate is (3.15,0).

now we know if a rock is thrown it moves in a shape of a parabola which we see this equation is quadratic. Now we will use the turning point equation for a quadratic equation to get a equation for the height which the format is f(x)= a(x-p)^2 +q  , where (p,q) is the turning point. now we substitute the turning point

f(t) = a(t-0.76)^2 + 57, now we will substitute the other point on the graph or on the function that we found which is (3.15, 0) then solve for a.

0 = a(3.15 - 0.76)^2 + 57

-57 =a(2.39)^2  

-57 = a(5.7121)

-57/5.7121 =a

-9.9788169 = a      then we substitute a to get the quadratic equation therefore f is

f(t) = -9.9788169(t-0.76)^2 +57

Just plus in x for -3
f(x) = 4(-3)^2 + 3(-3) - 11
f (x) = 4(9) -9 - 11
f(x) = 36 - 20
f(x) = 16

Since Marnie has bought her car,the value has gone down 15%.If her car is 13000 right now,how much was it worth when she bought
Serggg [28]
Percentage of depreciation of the car that Marie bought = 15%
Present value of the car = 13000
Let us assume that the value of the car at the time of buying = x
So
The percentage valuation of the car now = (100 - 15) percent
                                                                 = 85 percent
Then
(85/100) * x = 13000
85x = 13000 * 100
85x = 1300000
x = 1300000/85
  = 15294.12
So the actual cost of the car is 15294.12. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Calculeaza diferenta nr 824532 si 698845 apoi dubleaza rezultatul.
natita [175]

Răspuns:

693860

Explicație pas cu pas:

Diferența dintre: 824532 și 698845

824532 - 698845 = 125687

Dublând rezultatul, r:

2 * 125687 = 251374

Pentru a obține: 3 * 315078 = 945234

Numărul care trebuie adăugat la r, în altul pentru a obține 945234 este:

945234 - 251374 = 693860

Prin urmare, 693860 trebuie adăugat la 251374 pentru a obține (3 * 315078)
