Answer:

1) The equation for the of the ball in y = a·(x - h)² + k is;

y = -16·(x - 5)² + 25

2) The height of the dock, d =  -375 feet below the water level

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The question is with regards to quadratic function representing projectile motion

The given parameters are;

The height the ball reaches 4 seconds after Sarah kicked the ball = 9 feet

The time the ball hits the water = 6 seconds after reaching the 9 feet height

The form of the quadratic equation representing the motion is given as follows;

y = a·(x - h)² + k = a·x² - 2·a·h·x + a·h² + k

Let 'x' represent the time of motion of the ball, and let 'a', represent the acceleration due to gravity, we have;

The equation for the ball, y = a·(x - h)² + k

Where;

(h, k) = The coordinates of the vertex

h = The horizontal component of the vertex coordinate = 0

Therefore, we have;

When x = 0, y = d

d = -16·(0 - h)² + k =  -16·h² + k

d = -16·h² + k  

When x = 4, y = 9 - d

9 - d = -16(4 - h)² + k = -16(4 - h)² + k

When x = 2, y = d

d = -16(2 - h)² + k

When x = 6, y = 9

9 = -16(6 - 5)² + k

When x = 8, y = d

d = -16(8 - h)² + k

-16(8 - h)² - (-16(2 - h)²) = 0

h = 5

From 9 - d = -16(4 - h)² + k = -16(4 - 4)² + k

d = 9 - k

9 = -16(6 - h)² + k

k = 9 + 16(6 - 5)² = 25

d = 9 - k = 9 - 25 = -16

Therefore, h = 5, k = 25

The equation for the of the ball in y = a·(x - h)² + k is therefore;

y = -16·(x - 5)² + 25

2) When x = 0, y = d, ∴ d = -16(0 - 5)² + 25 = -375 feet below the water

The height of the dock, d =  -375 feet below the water level

The height of a flare fired from a 32-foot high platform can be modeled by the function h= -16t^2 + 16t + 32, where h is the hei
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Time, t = 2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a flare fired from a 32-foot high platform can be modeled by the function :

h= -16t^2 + 16t + 32

Here, h is the height in feet above the ground and t is the time in seconds.

It is required to find the time taken by the flare to reach the ground. When its reaches ground, height covered by it equals 0 such that,

h = 0

-16t^2 + 16t + 32=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-16+\sqrt{16^2-4\times (-16)(32)} }{2(-16)}, \dfrac{-16-\sqrt{16^2-4\times (-16)(32)} }{2(-16)}\\\\t=-1\ s, 2\ s

Neglecting t = -1 seconds, the time taken by the flare to reach the ground is 2 seconds.
