a rock is launched from a canon. it's height, h(x), can be represented by a quadratic function in terms of time, x, in seconds.

After 1 second, the Rock is 58 ft in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 112 feet in the air. find the height, in feet, of the rock after 10 seconds in the air.

This is the quadratic function:
h(x)=ax²+bx+c

We have two points:
(1,58)
(2,112)

Now, we calculate this quadratic funtion.

we assume that h(0)=0
Therefore:
a(0)²+b(0)+c=0
c=0

(1,58)
a(1)²+b(1)=58
a+b=58  (1)

(2,112)
a(2)²+b(2)=112
4a+2b=112
2a+b=56  (1)

With the equations (1) and (2) we make a system of equations:
a+b=58
2a+b=56
we can solve this system of equations by reduction method.
-(a+b=58)
2a+b=56
---------------------
a=-2

-2(a+b=58)
 2a+b=56
-------------------
       -b=-60  ⇒  b=60

The function is:
h(x)=ax²+bx+c
h(x)=-2x²+60x

Now find the height, in feet, of the rock after 10 seconds in the air.

h(10)=-2(10)²+60(10)
h(10)=-200+600=400

Answer: 400 ft.

If light travels at 10,000 km in 3.0 x 10² seconds,
eduard

Answer:

1000xm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 meter = 3.2808 feet, hence. 9.8424 x 10^8 feet in 1 second. 1 foot in x seconds. hence it takes 1 / (9.8424 x 10^8) = 0.10168 x 10^(-8) seconds. ➡️1km = 1000xm⬅️

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 62 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a rectangular prism =2(wl+hl+hw)

w = width = 3 inches

h = height= 2 inches

l = length = 5 inches

A = 2(3x5 + 2x5 + 3x2) = 62 inch²
