- In 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_forwardIn 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. 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_forward
- In 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_forwardCrime prevention The number f(x) of incidents of family violence requiring police response appears to be related to x, the money spent on crisis intervention, by the equation f(x)=4300.005x. What expenditure would reduce the number of incidents to 350?arrow_forwardFind the difference quotient. f(x)=x2x+5arrow_forward
- In the following exercises, determine whether each equation is a function. 303. (a) 2x+y=3 (b) y=x2 (c) x+y2=5arrow_forwardTaylor is building a rectangular garden. Due to the space available, the area of the A (in square feet), can be expressed by the function A garden, where W represents the width of the garden (in feet). = w(75 - w), Based on this function, the width of the garden must be more than A feet wide and less than A feet wide.arrow_forwardA snowboarder's elevation, in feet, can be represented by the function E(t)=3000 -70t, where t is in seconds. Graph the function and find the elevation of the snowboarder after 30 seconds.arrow_forward
