Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 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.

Remark

There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.  

Solve

A

\dfrac{x + 1.6}{2} =\text{x + 0.1}                    Multiply by 2

x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1)                                         Remove the brackets

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2                                        

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2                                          Subtract x from both sides

1.6 = x + 0.2                                                  Subtract 0.2 from both sides  

1.6 - 0.2 = x                        

1.4 = x

Circle A

B

Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x = 1.4

Circle B

C

Remove the brackets.

4x + 6 = 2x - 6           Add 6 to both sides

4x + 12 = 2x               Subtract 4x from both sides.

12 = -2x                      Divide by - 2

12/-2 = x

x = - 6                         Don't circle C

D

I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.

3x = 4.2

x = 4.2/3

x = 1.4

Circle D

If 2a+b=6 and a−6=b, what is the value of a?
earnstyle [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2a + b = 6......equation 1

a - 6 = b

a = b + 6........equation 2

Putting equation 2 in equation 1

2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6

2b + 12 + b = 6

3b = 6 - 12

3b = - 6

b = - 6 / 3

Therefore b = - 2

Now

a = - 2 + 6 = 4

hope it will help :)

5 is what percent of 23
Eddi Din [679]
5 = what percent of 23

5 = x% of 23

5 = (x/100)*23

5 = 23x/100

5*100 = 23x

23x = 5*100

x = 5*100/23

x = 21.739

5 is ≈ 21.739% of 23
