Answer:
Horizontal distance = 0 m and 6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of a rider in a roller coaster has been defined by the equation,
y = 
Here x = rider's horizontal distance from the start of the ride
i). 

![=\frac{1}{3}[x^{2}-2(3x)+9-9+24]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Bx%5E%7B2%7D-2%283x%29%2B9-9%2B24%5D)
![=\frac{1}{3}[(x^{2}-2(3x)+9)+15]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5B%28x%5E%7B2%7D-2%283x%29%2B9%29%2B15%5D)
![=\frac{1}{3}[(x-3)^2+15]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5B%28x-3%29%5E2%2B15%5D)

ii). Since, the parabolic graph for the given equation opens upwards,
Vertex of the parabola will be the lowest point of the rider on the roller coaster.
From the equation,
Vertex → (3, 5)
Therefore, minimum height of the rider will be the y-coordinate of the vertex.
Minimum height of the rider = 5 m
iii). If h = 8 m,


(x - 3)² = 9
x = 3 ± 3
x = 0, 6 m
Therefore, at 8 m height of the roller coaster, horizontal distance of the rider will be x = 0 and 6 m
Start the graph at the <em>y</em>-intercept. At 0 hours, he will make $0, so (0, 0) is the <em>y</em>-intercept. From this point, he makes $8.10 an hour; go up 8.1 for every 1 hour you go over on the graph. The graph is attached.
8/12 is still owed, and when you simplify the fraction it becomes 2/3
Answer:
At a speed of 57 mph for 8 hr a driver will travel 456 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have a summary of the letters for each variable:
Speed ---> r (in units of mph)
Time ---> t (in units of hr)
Distance ---> d (in units of mi)
These three variables are related by the next formula:
d = rt
In the data they give to you: 57 mph and 8 hr, they are telling you the r and the t, respectively:
r = 57 mph
t = 8 hr
The only thing you have to do is replace the values:
d = rt ----> d = 57 mph x 8 hr
d = 456 mi
I think the answere is $67
