Question

The height of a hill, h(x), in a painting can be written as a function of x, the distance from the left side of the painting. Both h(x) and x are measured in inches. h(x) = -1/5(x)(x – 13) What is the height of the hill in the painting 3 inches from the left side of the picture? inches

Answer 1

6 inches.

Explanation:

Answer 2

h(x)=(-1/5)x(x-13(

h(x)=(-x/5)(x-13)

h(x)=(13x-x^2)/5

h(3)=(13*3-3^2)/5

h(3)=(39-9)/5

h(3)=30/5

h(3)=6 in
