Isaiah decides to launch a model rocket to demonstrate parabolic motion. Given x stands for time and y stands for height in feet

, find the equation for his rocket if it launches at 5 seconds, lands at 11 seconds, and is at 80 feet after 10 seconds. Explain in one sentence how you created your equation.

The parabolic motion is an illustration of a quadratic function

The equation that models that path of the rocket is y = -16/31x^2 + 256/31x - 880/31

<h3>How to model the function?</h3>

Given that:

x stands for time and y stands for height in feet

So, we have the following coordinate points

(x,y) = (5,0), (11,0) and (10,80)

A parabolic motion is represented as:

y =ax^2 + bx + c

At (5,0), we have:

25a + 5b + c = 0

c= -25a - 5b

At (11,0), we have:

121a + 11b + c = 0

Substitute c= -25a - 5b

121a + 11b -25a - 5b = 0

Simpify

96a + 6b = 0

At (10,80), we have:

100a + 10b + c = 80

Substitute c= -25a - 5b

100a + 10b - 25a -5b = 80

75a -5b = 80

Divide through by 5

15a -b = 16

Make b the subject

b = 15a + 16

Substitute b = 15a + 16 in 96a + 6b = 0

96a + 6(15a + 16) = 0

Expand

96a + 90a + 96 = 0

This gives

186a = -96

Solve for a

a = -16/31

Recall that:

b = 15a + 16

So, we have:

b = -15 * 16/31 + 16

b =-240/31 + 16

Take LCM

b =(-240 + 31 * 16)/31

[tex]b =256/31

Also, we have:

c= -25a - 5b

This gives

c= 25*16/31 - 5 * 256/31

Take LCM

c= -880/31

Recall that:

y =ax^2 + bx + c

This gives

y = -16/31x^2 + 256/31x - 880/31

Hence, the equation that models that path of the rocket is y = -16/31x^2 + 256/31x - 880/31

Answer:

Check below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

We're dealing with linear functions. f(x)=mx+b

We have here the first function.

g(x)=3x

That's a linear function, with slope, and no linear coefficient since

But on the other hand, the functions below, they all describe parallel lines, since their slope has the same value. I've changed the letters to make it easier the comprehension.

Even though each one has the same slope value, they have different non zero linear coefficients, {-6,-18,6,18}. Unlike, the first one

h(x)=3(9x-2) \rightarrow h(x)= 27x-6\\i(x)=9(3x-2)\rightarrow i(x)=27x-18\\j(x)=3(9x+2)\rightarrow j(x)=27x+6 \\k(x)=9(3x+2)\rightarrow k(x)=27x+18\\

A possible solution would be adjusting any of these, whose operation would result in g(x)=3x, but

Like

y=9(\frac{3x}{9}-2)+18 =3x
