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

Si mi disco duro tiene una capacidad de 1.5 Terabytes ¿ cuántas llaves de 32 Gigabits caben en ese disco duro?
Art [367]

Answer:

The number of 32 Gigabit keys that can be fitted on the hard drive is 375.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

If my hard drive has a capacity of 1.5 Terabytes, how many 32 Gigabit keys can fit on that hard drive?

Solution:

1 Terabyte = 8000 Gigabits

Then 1.5 Terabytes in Gigabits is:

1.5 Terabytes = (8000 × 1.5) Gigabits

                      = 12000 Gigabits

One key is of 32 Gigabits.

Compute the number of 32 Gigabit keys that can be fitted on the hard drive as follows:

\text{Number of 32 Gigabit keys}=\frac{12000}{32}=375

Thus, the number of 32 Gigabit keys that can be fitted on the hard drive is 375.
