- In the following functions, find (a) the equation of the axis of symmetry and (b) the vertex of its graph. 239. f(x)=x2+2x+5arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, solve. 334. Gianna is going to throw a ball from the top floor of her middle school. When she throws the ball from 48 feet above the ground, the function h(t)=16t2+32t+48 models the height, h, of the ball above the ground as a function of time, t. Find: (a) the zeros of this function which tells us when the ball will hit the ground. (b) the time(s) the ball will be 48 feet above the ground. (c) the height the ball will be at t=1 seconds which is when the ball will be at its highest point.arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, solve. 333. Juli is going to launch a model rocket in her back yard. When she launches the rocket, the function h(t)=16t2+32t models the height, h, of the rocket above the ground as a function of time, t. Find: (a) the zeros of this function which tells us when the rocket will hit the ground. (b) the time the rocket will be 16 feet above the ground.arrow_forward
- Find the difference quotient. f(x)=x2x+5arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, solve 462. Jing is going to throw a ball from the balcony of her condo. When she throws the ball from 80 feet above the ground, the function h(t)=16t2+64t+80 models the height, h, of the ball above the ground as a function of time, t. Find: (a) the zeros of this function which tells us when the ball will hit the ground. (b) the time(s) the ball will be 128 feet above the ground. (c) the height the ball will be at t=4 seconds.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between an x-intercept anda zero of a polynomial function f?arrow_forward
- In the following exercises, solve. 444. Shruti is going to throw a ball from the top of a cliff. When she throws the ball from 80 feet above the ground, the function h(t)=16t2+64t+80 models the height, h, of the ball above the ground as a function of time, t. Find: (a) the zeros of this function which tells us when the ball will hit the ground. (b) the time(s) the ball will be 80 feet above the ground. (c) the height the ball will be at t=2 seconds which is when the ball will be at its highest point.arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, determine whether each equation is a function. 504. 2x+y2=4arrow_forwardThe revenue in thousands of dollars is given as R(x)= -2x2+200x-7 where x represents hundreds of units. Determine the revenue when 450 units are sold. Do not include any commas or dollar signs in your response.arrow_forward
