1. The function f(x) = -0.05(x2 - 26x - 120) represents the path coming out of the cannon. If x is the horizontal distance from the cannon, what does f(x) represent? (1 point)

f(x) represents the vertical height of the cannon

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.05·(x² - 26·x - 120)

Given that 'x' represent the horizontal path of the cannon and the function describes the path of the cannon, we have that the vertical height reached by the cannon as it moves along the horizontal path is given as the function f(x)

Therefore, we have;

f(0) = -0.05·(0² - 26×0 - 120) = -0.05 × -120 = 6

f(0) = 6

The starting height of the cannon = 6

The maximum height reached by the cannon is given as follows;

f'(x) = d(-0.05·(x² - 26·x - 120))/dx = -0.05·d(x² - 26·x - 120)/dx = -0.05×(2·x - 26)

f'(x) = -0.05×(2·x - 26)

f'(x) = 0 At maximum height, therefore, we have;

-0.05×(2·x - 26) = 0

(2·x - 26) = 0

2·x = 26

x = 26/2 = 13

x = 13

f(13) = -0.05·(13² - 26×13 - 120) = 14.45

The maximum height = 14.45

Therefore;

f(x) = The vertical height of the cannon

i really dont know

step-by-step explanation:

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
