Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola can be written as

y =  {a(x - h)}^{2}  + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the parabola's vertex. The vertices of the functions are as follows:

a) (3, 5)

b) (-7, 3)

c) (4, 0)

d) (0, -1)

e) (-1, -5)

f) (-1, -5)

If you launch the cannonball from the ground instead (hi=0), what does that change in the original equation?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

  the value of hi changes from 58 to 0:

  h(t) = -4.9t^2 +19.8t

Step-by-step explanation:

If the initial height changes, then the term in the equation that represents that height will change. The initial height term is hi, so it changes from 58 to 0.

  h(t)=-4.9t^2+19.8t+0\\\\\boxed{h(t)=-4.9t^2+19.8t}

What is the answer to a and b please and thank you

A.) according to the graph, Austin appears to be burning 10 calories per minute. If you look at a perfect point on the graph, which I chose (50,5) and you do x over y or calories per minute, you get a unit rate of 10 calories per minute.

b.) Since you have already found the unit rate in question a, your slope would be 10.
