Step-by-step explanation:
On this question we see that we are given two points on a certain graph that has a maximum point at 57 feet and in 0.76 seconds after it is thrown, we know can say this point is a turning point of a graph of the rock that is thrown as we are told that the function f determines the rocks height above the road (in feet) in terms of the number of seconds t since the rock was thrown therefore this turning point coordinate can be written as (0.76, 57) as we are told the height represents y and x is represented by time in seconds. We are further given another point on the graph where the height is now 0 feet on the road then at this point its after 3.15 seconds in which the rock is thrown in therefore this coordinate is (3.15,0).
now we know if a rock is thrown it moves in a shape of a parabola which we see this equation is quadratic. Now we will use the turning point equation for a quadratic equation to get a equation for the height which the format is , where (p,q) is the turning point. now we substitute the turning point
, now we will substitute the other point on the graph or on the function that we found which is (3.15, 0) then solve for a.
0 = a(3.15 - 0.76)^2 + 57
-57 =a(2.39)^2
-57 = a(5.7121)
-57/5.7121 =a
-9.9788169 = a then we substitute a to get the quadratic equation therefore f is
Answer:
The monthly cost for 9 HCF is $38.54
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The graph is missing; however, the question can still be solved</em>
Given
Slope = 1.55
When monthly cost = $47.84, Amount of water = 15 HCF
Required
Determine the monthly cost for 9 HCF
From the question, we understand that it is a linear function;
Linear functions are of the form
Where y is the function of x and m is the slope
In this case; the function is the monthly water bill
and x is the amount of water
Solving for b
When monthly cost = $47.84, Amount of water = 15 HCF
The function is as follows;
Subtract 23.25 from both sides
Solving for the monthly cost for 9 HCF
Here, we have that
Substitute these values in the linear function;
<em>Hence, the monthly cost for 9 HCF is $38.54</em>
