Landon is standing in a hole that is 5.1 ft deep. he throws a rock, and it goes up into the air, out of the hole, and then lands on the ground above. the path of the rock can be modeled by the equation y = -0.005x2 + 0.41x - 5.1, where x is the horizontal distance of the rock, in feet, from landon and y is the height, in feet, of the rock above the ground. how far horizontally from landon will the rock land?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
