PLZ HELP WILL GIVE 50 POINTS - QUADRATIC APPLICATIONS find how far away (ground distance) from the catapult will white bird be at its highest. (round to the nearest 2 decimal points)
h= -0.114x^2+2.29x+3.5

The bird will be at a ground distance of 10.04 units away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

It's vertex is the point

In which

Where

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at , and it's value is .

Equation for the height:

The height of the bird after x seconds is given by:

Which is a quadratic equation with .

When the bird is at its highest?

Quadratic equation with , and thus, at the vertex. The ground distance is the x-value of the vertex. Thus

The bird will be at a ground distance of 10.04 units away.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

answer is d-29

step-by-step explanation:

since you didn't include the picture, i can give you the description so you know how to pick the correct answer. the third quartile of a data is always shown in a box plot. in the middle of your graph should be a box. the third quartile is the value that goes with the far right edge of the box.
