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.

A trapezoid has an area of 60 square inches. The height of the trapezoid is 5 inches. What is the length of the longer base if t
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Let the shorter base = x

Let the longer base = 3x

h = 5

Area = 60

Formula

Area = (b1 + b2)*h /2

Solution

60 = (x + 3x)*5 / 2                Multiply both sides by 2

2*60 = (x + 3x)*5                  Combine like terms

120 = 4x *5

120 = 20x                             Divide by 20

120/20 = x

x = 6

Therefore the two bases are

x = 6

3x = 18

A scientist need 10 L of a 20% acid solution for an experiment where she had only a 5% solution and a 40% solution to the neares
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Amount of 5% solution = 5.7 Litres

Amount of 40% solution = 4.3 Litres

Step-by-step explanation:

First, of all, let x be the amount of 5% solution used

Since, the scientist needs 10 L of solution, then;

Let 10 - x be the amount of 40% solution used

Now, we are told that she needs 10 L of a 20% acid solution.

This means that;

5%x + 40%(10 - x) = 20%(10).

Simplifying this gives;

0.05x + 0.40(10 - x) = 0.20 × 10

Expanding the bracket gives;

0.05x + 4 - 0.4x = 2

0.4x - 0.05x = 4 - 2

0.35x = 2

x = 2/0.35

x ≈ 5.7 litres

Thus, she will need to mix 5.7 liters of the 5% solution.

Since 10 - x be the amount of 40% solution used , then;

the amount of 40% solution = 10 - 5.7 = 4.3 litres
