It is known that the distance in metres through which a body falls freely varies directly as the square of the time taken. If a body falls through 80 metres in 4 seconds, find the distance it would fall in 5 seconds. step-by-step easy explanation, please.

K = 5 ; 125 m

Step-by-step explanation:

body falls through 80 metres in 4 seconds, find the distance it would fall in 5 seconds.

Given that:

Distance α (Timetaken)²

Distance = d ; Timetaken = t

d = Kt²

K = constant of proportionality

80 = k4²

80 = 16k

K = 80 / 16

K = 5

Distance it would fall in 5 seconds ; t = 5

D = Kt²

D = 5 * 5²

D = 5 * 25

D = 125

It will fall a distance of 125 m in 5 seconds.

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
