Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can do this the easy way and just set up an inequality and let the factoring do the work for us. The inequality will look like this:
We will move the constant over and get
and when you factor this you get that
3 < t < 4
Between 3 and 4 seconds is where the projectile reaches a height higher than 192 feet. With a little more work and some calculus you can find the max height to be 196 feet.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the multiplier of the squared term in f(x) is 0.5; in g(x), it is -2, so is a factor of -4 times that in f(x).
If we scale f(x) by a factor of -4, we get ...
-4f(x) = -2(x -2)² -12
In order for the squared quantity to be x+3, we have to add 5 to the value that is squared in f(x). That is, x -2 must become x +3. We have to replace x with (x+5) to do that, so ...
(x+5) -2 = x +3
The replacement of x with x+5 amounts to a translation of 5 units to the left.
We note that the added constant after our scaling changes from +3 to -12. Instead, we want it to be -1, so we must add 11 to the scaled function. That translates it upward by 11 units.
The attached graph shows the scaled and translated function g(x):
g(x) = -4f(x +5) +11
