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.

Answer:
w = -2 or 8 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Setting the two expressions equal makes a quadratic equation:
-5 +0.6w = w(2.5 -0.3w)
0.3w^2 -1.9w -5 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right-side expression
3w^2 -19s -50 = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 10 to give integer coefficients
(3w -25)(w +2) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
We can use the zero product rule to find the solutions. The product will be zero only if a factor is zero.
3w -25 = 0 ⇒ w = 25/3 = 8 1/3
w +2 = 0 ⇒ w = -2
The values of w that make the two expressions equivalent are -2 and 8 1/3.
The answer is B.
The ratio is multiplied by three so 5 times 3 is 15 and 2 times 3 is 6.
Let's treat the speed in one hour as a variable.
We can say that 1500=12.5x
Divide by 12.5
1500/12.5 = x
x = 120
120 mph is your answer.
Answer:
3 × 5 × 5 × 2 × 2 × 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a factor tree.
But let me explain the above to prove it's correct.
3 × 5 = 15
15 × 5 = 75
75 × 2 = 150
150 × 2 = 300
300 × 2 = 600
Therefore 600 as a product of prime factors is: <u>3 × 5 × 5 × 2 × 2 × 2</u>
