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

Graphing the function. h(x) = - 4 (show steps)
Archy [21]
Think about rise over run. Make the -4 a fraction into -4/1. Rise is the first, so you go down 4 pts down. Then run is 1, so you go 1 right. In this case, there is no beginning, so you begin at 0. The coordinates will be (0, 0) and (1, -4). You got the graph.

jake spends 2 hours on each homework assignment and he had 3 assignments each day.orlando spend 2 hiurs on each homework assignm
Andrej [43]
Ok so u have to multiply for this one

Work *Jake*:

So he spends 2 hours on each assignment. He has 3 assignments so u have to do :
2*3=6
 
He spend 6 hours a day doing home work so now u have to multiply that by 30:
6*30=180

Work *Orlando*:

So he spends 2 hours on each homework. He has 2 sheets each do so u have to multiply 2 and 2: 
2*2=4

He spends 4 hours a day doing homwork so u  have to multiply it by 30: 
4*30=120


Answer:
 

So Jake spends 130 hours
Orlando spends 120 hours 

Add both together:
120+130=250

They spend 250 hours together on work in 30 days/

How do you know if AB and CD are congruent?
Mariana [72]

If the length of two segments is equal then the two segments are congruent.

If l(AB) = l(CD) then seg AB ≅ seg CD.

Two line segments to be congruent if and only if they have the same length.

Two shapes are congruent if they are exactly the same shape and exactly the same size. In congruent shapes, all corresponding sides will be the same length and all corresponding angle will be the same measure.
