Question

A rocket is shot off from a launcher. The accompanying table represents the height of

the rocket at given times, where x is time, in seconds, and y is height, in feet. Write a
quadratic regression equation for this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the
nearest hundredth. Using this equation, find the height, to the nearest foot, at a time
of 14.7 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:The quadratic model obtained using a quadratic regression solver with Coefficient rounded to the nearest hundredth is :y = - 15.57x² + 179.32x + 0.20height = yx = time Using the model obtained;The height, to the nearest foot, at a time, x = 6.4 seconds.y = - 15.57x² + 179.32x + 0.20y = - 15.57(6.4^2) + 179.32(6.4) + 0.20y = 510.1008y = 510
