A rock is dropped from the top of a 2000-foot building. After 1 second, the rock is traveling 32 feet per second. After 2 second

s, the rock
is traveling 64 feet per second. Let y be the rate of descent and be the number of seconds since the rock was dropped.
a. Write a linear equation that relates time x to rate y. (Hint: Use the ordered pairs (1,32) and (2,64).]
b. Use this equation to determine the rate of travel of the rock 15 seconds after it was droppedwas dropped.

Using the pairs (1,32) and (2,64) the rate of speed is (64-32 / 2-1 = 32 feet per second.

To find the rate of decent you would multiply the rate by time:

The equation is y = 32x

B. Replace x with 15 and solve for y:

Y = 32(15)

Y = 480

The rate of speed is 480 feet per second.

The equation of a parabola is y=x2+6x+9. Write the equation in vertex form.
nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is accomplished by completing the square on the quadratic. Do this by first setting the parabola equal to 0 then moving the constant over to the other side:

x^2+6x=-9

Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9:

x^2+6x+9=-9+9

The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial on the left:

(x+3)^2=0 (obviously the 0 results from the addition of 9 and -9). Move the 0 back over to the other side and set the quadratic back equal to y:

(x+3)^2+0=y

This gives you a vertex of (-3, 0), which is a minimum value, since the parabola opens upwards.

200 - [ ( 50 - 4 ) × 3 + 5 ]
= 200 - [ 46 × 3 + 5 ]
<Put brackets around the 2 number that enclose the times sign as a reminder to do that first>
= 200 - [ ( 46 × 3 ) + 5 ]
= 200 - [ 138 + 5 ]
= 200 - (143)
= 57

Hope this helps!
