Question 1208039: A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity of 130 feet per second at an inclination of 45° to the horizontal. In physics, it is established that the height h of the golf ball is given by the function
h(x) = [(-32x^2)/(130)^2] + x, where x is the distance that the golf ball has traveled.

How far was the ball hit?
I know that the question is asking to find x.

Question 1208040: A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity of 130 feet per second at an inclination of 45° to the horizontal. In physics, it is established that the height h of the golf ball is given by the function

h(x) = [(-32x^2)/(130)^2] + x, where x is the horizontal distance that the golf ball has traveled.

Determine the height of the ball after it has traveled 100 feet.

For this problem, I must let x be 100 and simplify.

Question 1208041: A Boeing 747 crosses the Atlantic Ocean (3000 miles) with an airspeed of 500 miles per hour. The cost C (in dollars) per passenger is given by the formula

C(x) = 100 + (x/100) + (36,000/x), where x is the ground speed (airspeed x wind and - wind).

To the nearest 50 Mike's per hour, what ground speed minimizes the cost per passenger?

The question is asking to find x.

Question 1208059: The following question is from my college algebra textbook. It is preview of calculus 1.

Let m_sec = slope of the secant line.

I am to use m_sec = [(f(x + h) - f(x)]/h. It is called the difference quotient of f.

Given f(x) = 2x^2 + x:

A. Express the slope of the secant line of the given function in terms of x and h. Be sure to simplify your answer.
I found m_sec to be 4x + 2h + 1.

B. Find m_sec for h = 0.5 at x = 1. What value does m_sec approach as h tends to 0?

I don't understand part B.

C. Find the equation of the secant line at x = 1 with h = 0.01.

I don't know how to find the equation of the secant line for part C.
