Answer:

The height of the missile in the air after 11 seconds is 330 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for the quadratic function f(x)= , which is the function of the parabola model.

We are given two points.

(1, 130) and (2, 240)

Here the first coordinate represents the x (time) and the second coordinate represents h(x), which is height.

Now plug these two coordinates and find the two equations.

(1, 130), the equation is

130 = a.(1)^2 + b(1) + c, where "c" is the initial height. Which is equal to zero.

Therefore, we get

130 = a + b + 0

a + b = 130 -------(1)

Now let's form the second equation using the coordinate (2, 240)

240 =

240 = 4a + 2b -------------(2)

Now let's solve the equations (1) and (2) and find the value of "a" and "b"

a + b = 130 can be written as a = 130 - b

Here we can use the substitution method.

Now plug in a = 130 - b in the second equation, we get

240 = 4(130 - b) + 2b

240 = 520 - 4b + 2b

240 = 520 - 2b

2b = 520 - 240

2b = 280

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

b = 140

Now plug in b = 140 in a = 130 -b and find the value of a

a = 130 - 140

a = -10

Now we got a = -10 and b = 140.

We plug in a = -10 and b = 140 in the general form, we gety

h(x) =

Where c is the initial height, which is equal to 0.

h(x) =

Now plug in x = 11 seconds and find the height.

h(11) = -10(11)^2 + 140 (11)

= -10 (121) + 1540

= - 1210 + 1540

h(11) = 330 feet,

Therefore, the height of the missile in the air after 11 seconds is 330 feet

Which of the following describes a ratio of actual events to the number of trials in an experiment? Select all that apply. HELP
aleksklad [387]
Experiental probability is the correct choice because you will have actual data from an experiment that you are using to create the ratio of outcomes to attempts. This is the scientific and mathematical name for a tested ratio. Theoretical probability, on the other hand, is what you would expect to happen if you were to perform the test.
