Ajump rope held stationary by two children, one at each end, hangs in a shape that can be modeled by the equation h=0.01x^2 - x + 27, where h is the height (in inches) above the ground and x is the distance (in inches) along the ground measured from the horizontal position of one end. how close to the ground is the lowest part of the rope?

Answer with explanation:

To find the height of rope from other end of the equation,

       h=0.01 x² - x + 27, where h is the height (in inches) above the ground and x is the distance (in inches) along the ground measured from the horizontal position of one end.

We will Substitute,

  h=0,and get ,two roots of the Quadratic function.

→→For a quadratic function of the type, ax² +b x +c=0

Roots can be obtained by the formula

As the two roots obtained are not real.

It will not cut the x axis.

Now, finding the vertex of the parabola,which has coordinate, (50,2).

→Lowest part of the rope is 2 inches above the ground.

For,the quadratic function

  →y=0.01 x² - x + 27

 → y =0.01×(x² -100 x  + 2700)

 →y = 0. 01 ×[(x-50)²-2500+2700]

→y -2 = 0.01 (x-50)²

⇒Vertex = (50,2)

h=2 inches→→Lowest part  of the rope above the ground.

step-by-step explanation:

the graph shows 30% of students walk. 80 students were questioned, so the number that said they walk is

30% × 80 = 0.30 × 80 = 24
