A rock is launched from a cannon. After 1 second, the rock is 58 feet in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 112 feet in the air. Us
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 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.

Autumn bought 4 pairs of jeans for her kids and one shirt for herself. The shirt cost $16.99. She spent a total of $108.95. What
klio [65]

Answer:

Each Jean cost $22.99

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would subtract the cost of the shirt from the total.

108.95-16.99=91.96

Then you would divide the 91.96 by 4 to get the cost for each Jean.

91.96/4=22.99

j=$22.99

What is the final answer for 6x-6-7x=-13/2
olya-2409 [2.1K]
6x - 6 - 7x = -13/2

Multiply both sides by 2:
12x - 12 - 14x = -13

Simplify:
-2x - 12 = -13

Add 12 to both sides:
-2x = -1

Divide both sides by 2:
-x = -1

Change to a positive value of x:
x = 1
