Larry likes skeet shooting. a clay disc is shot into the air and the participant tries to shoot it. he rarely misses, because he knows that the flight of the disc can be modeled by a quadratic function. the discs are released from a firing mechanism that sits at ground level and shoots the disc on average a horizontal distance of 120m. the average maximum vertical height that the disc reaches is 40 m.

Sagot :

a)The functions that represent the flight of the clay disc in Factored Form will be,[tex]\rm y = - \frac{1}{90} (x-60)^2+40[/tex]

b)The function in its standard form is,[tex]\rm y =- \frac{1}{90} x^3 + \frac{4}{3} x[/tex].

c) The domain and range of the quadratic function with the context provided will be [0,120] and [0,40] respectively.

What exactly is a function?

A function is a statement, rule, or law that specifies the connection between two variables. Functions are common in mathematics and are required for the formulation of physical connections.

The given points represent on the graph is;

x = 0 , y = 0

x = 120 , y = 0

x = 60 , y = 40

The standard equation is;

[tex]\rm y = a(x-h)^2 +k \\\\ y = a(x-60)^2 +40 \\\\ 0 = sA(120-60) +40\\\\ 0= a \times 3600 + 40 \\\\ 3600 a = -40 \\\\ a = - \farc{1}{90}[/tex]

Substitute the value as;

[tex]\rm y = - \frac{1}{90} (x-60)^2+40[/tex]

b)

The above equation  in the standard form is found as;

[tex]\rm y = \frac{-1}{90}(x^2 +3600 -120 x )+40 \\\\ y =- \frac{1}{90}(x^2 -40 + \frac{4}{3}x +40 \\\\ y = \frac{-1}{90} x^2 + \frac{4}{3}x[/tex]

c)The domain and range of the quadratic function with the context provided will be [0,120] and [0,40] respectively.

Hence, the functions that represent the flight of the clay disc in the factored form will be,[tex]\rm y = - \frac{1}{90} (x-60)^2+40[/tex]
