Answer:
At the moment it is thrown, the height of the ball is 12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
If the function models the height of the ball x seconds after it is thrown, then by this same function we can know the initial height of the ball at the initial moment.
If we represent the initial time instant as x = 0, then by doing h (0) we will get the initial height, just when the ball is thrown.
h (0) = 12 meters.
At the moment it is thrown, the height of the ball is 12 meters
1. d. d = 66t
The maximum speed of the wildebeest is v=66 ft/s. Speed is defined as the ratio between the distance covered (d) and the time taken (t):
Re-arranging the formula, we get
And substituting v=66 ft/s, we find
2. c. y = 5 - n
In fact, we can check that this rule satisfies all the numbers of the sequence:
n=3 --> y = 5 - 3 = 2
n=4 --> y = 5 - 4 = 1
n=5 --> y = 5 - 5 = 0
n=6 --> y = 5 - 6 = -1
3. d. $5.50, $11.00, $16.50; E = 5.50h
In fact, if we use the rule E=5.50 h, we see that the table is completed as follows:
h=1 --> E=(5.50)(1 h)=5.50$
h=2 --> E=(5.50)(2 h)=11.00 $
h=3 --> E=(5.50)(3 h)=16.50$
h=4 --> E=(5.50)(4 h)=22.00$
h=5 --> E=(5.50)(5 h)=27.50$
4. c. if d ≥ 5 then C = 4.70d, if d < 5 then C = 4.70d - 1; $17.80, $32.90
If the number of days is more than 5, the cost is 4.70$ per day, therefore c=4.70d (where d is the number of days); if the number of days is less than 5, one dollar is returned, so the cost will be C=4.70d-1. By applying this rule, we can calculate the rental cost after d=4 days and d=7 days:
- d=4 --> c=4.70*4-1=17.80$
- d=7 --> c=4.70*7=32.90$
5. b. y = 3x + 3
In fact, we can check this is the correct rule by substituting the numbers:
x=0 --> y=3*0+3=3
x=1 --> y=3*1+3=6
x=2 --> y=3*2+3=9
x=3 --> y=3*3+3=12
x=4 --> y=3*4+3=15
7. x -2 -1 0 1 2
y (-16 ) (-6 ) (4 ) (14 ) (24 )
The rule we have to apply is:
-10x + y = 4
Re-arranging it, we can solve for y:
y = 10x + 4
So, let's substitute the different values of x:
x=-2 --> 10*(-2)+4=-20+4= -16
x=-1 --> 10*(-1)+4=-10+4= -6
x=0 --> 10*0+4= 4
x=1 --> 10*1+4=10+4= 14
x=2 --> 10*2 +4 =20+4 = 24
8. y = -5x - 1
In fact, if substitute the different values of x given by the problem, we find:
x = -2 --> y = -5*(-2) -1= 10 -1 = 9
x = -1 --> y = -5*(-1) -1 = 5 -1 = 4
x = 0 --> y = -5*0 -1 = -1
x = 1 --> y = -5*1 - 1 = -6
x = 2 --> y = -5*2 -1 = -11
