We can create a parabola equation of the trajectory using
the vertex form:
y = a (x – h)^2 + k
The center is at h and k, where h and k are the points at
the maximum height so:
h = 250
k = 120
Therefore:
y = a (x – 250)^2
+ 120
At the initial point, x = 0, y = 0, so we can solve for
a:
0 = a (0 – 250)^2 + 120
0 = a (62,500) + 120
a = -0.00192
So the whole equation is:
y = -0.00192 (x – 250)^2 + 120
So find for y when the golf ball is above the tree, x =
400:
y = -0.00192 (400 - 250)^2 + 120
y = 76.8 ft
So the ball cleared the tree by:
76.8 ft – 60 ft = 16.8 ft
Answer:
16.8 ft
If you think about how it works when cups are stacked. you will begin with the height of the cup plus the height of the lip you would then add just the heigt of the lips until you get to the height needed. so your answer should be 19 cups
36/4 = 9 per hat
56/7 = 8 per hat
no, they are not equivalent
You just solve it like a normal multiplication problem and then start putting the decimal begin the answer and place it 3 numbers forward
