The flight of a kicked football follows the quadratic function f(x)=−0.02x^2+2.2x+2, where f(x) is the vertical distance in feet and x is the horizontal distance the ball travels. How far, in feet, will the ball travel across the field by the time it hits the ground? Round your answer to one decimal place.

110.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models the flight of the ball is

where f(x) is the vertical distance in feet and x is the horizontal distance the ball travels

If the ball hits the ground, then f(x)=0

The solution is given by the quadratic formula:

We substitute a=-0.02, b=2.2, and c=2 to get:

This implies that:

Since we are dealing with time,

To one decimal place, we have 110.9 feet

step-by-step explanation:

∆abc has the points a(1, 7), b(-2, 2), and c(4, 2) as its vertices. formed with the point d(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ∆abd is triangle.

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
