Step-by-step explanation:
a.) To model this scenario
Let the height of ball = y
The height of 1st= 0.5y
2nd =0.5(0.5y)
3rd = 0.5*(0.5(0.5y))
Hence the height of nth bounce can be modeled as
Height of nth bounce =(0.5ⁿ-1)*y
The exponential equation is
hn= (0.5ⁿ-1)*y
b.) if the ball is dropped from 9ft above the ground
y= 9ft
On the 4th bounce
n=4
Substituting in the exponential equation we have
h4=(0.5^4-1)*9
h4=0.5³*9
h4= 0.125*9
h4= 1.125ft
On the 4th bounce, the ball will reach a height of 1.125ft
Given that the line passes through points:
(2,6), (1,3)
the equation will be given by:
m(x-x1)=y-y1
where
slope, m=(y-y1)/(x-x1)
from the points given:
m=(6-3)/(2-1)=3/1=3
thus the equation will be given by:
using point (1,3)
3(x-1)=y-3
3x-3=y-3
hence
y=3x-3+3
y=3x
Answer: y=3x
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = −16x^2 + 24x + 16
Set equal to zero to find the x intercepts
0 = −16x^2 + 24x + 16
Factor out -8
0 = -8(2x^2 -3x-2)
Factor
0 = -8(2x +1) (x-2)
Using the zero product property
2x+1 =0 x-2 =0
x = -1/2 x=2
The x intercepts are -1/2 ,2
Since the coefficient of x^2 is negative the graph will open down and the vertex will be a maximum
The x value of the maximum is 1/2 way between the zeros
(-1/2+2) /2 = 1.5/2 =.75
To find the y value substitute into the function
f(.75) = -8(2x +1) (x-2)
=-8(2*.75+1) (.75-2)
= -8(2.5)(-1.25)
=25
The vertex is at (.75, 25)
We have the zeros, and the vertex. We know the graph is symmetrical about the vertex
