The path of an object projected at a 45 degree angle with initial velocity of 80 feet per second is given by the −32 2 function h(x) = (80)2 x + x where x is the horizontal distance traveled and h(x) is the height in feet. Use the TRACE feature of your calculator to determine the height of the object when it has traveled 100 feet away horizontally.

The height of the object is 50 feet

Explanation:

Given that:

The path of an object projected at a 45 degree angle with initial velocity of 80 feet per second is given by the  function  

where;

x  is the horizontal distance traveled and  h(x) is the height in feet.

The objective is to use the TRACE feature of your calculator to determine the height of the object when it has traveled 100 feet away horizontally.

Before then;

If the function

and x = 100

then :

h(x) = 50 feet

Using the TRACE CALCULATOR,

In your Trace calculator;

input Y = X - 32 X^2/(80)        this  because in the calculator Y denotes h(x)

Now over to the WINDOW

set the window as follows:

Xmin = 0

Xmax = 200

Xsc1 =1

Ymin = 0

Ymax = 50

Ysc = 1

Xres = 1

After that, click on the graph key and an output will display as seen in the image below.

Therefore, the show the value of Y which we earlier said it denotes the h(x) = 50 feet

electric field is a function of 1/r^2

yes, the force per unit charge for a point charge is inverse square law.
