Clear question is;
A ball is dropped from the top of a
building. The expression 4.9x² gives the distance in meters the ball
has fallen after x seconds. Write and simplify an expression that gives the
distance in meters the ball has fallen after x² seconds. after x³ seconds.
Answer:
A) Distance = 4.9x⁴
B) Distance = 4.9x^(6)
Explanation:
We are given the expression 4.9x² which is the distance in meters the ball
has fallen after x seconds.
Thus,
A) after x² seconds, we have;
Distance = 4.9(x²)²
Distance = 4.9 * (x²) * (x²)
When we have to multiply 2 same numbers with the same power, the powers add up. Thus, we now have;
Distance = 4.9x⁴
B) after x³ seconds, we have;
Distance = 4.9(x³)²
Distance = 4.9 * (x³) * (x³)
When we have to multiply 2 same numbers with the same power, the powers add up. Thus, we now have;
Distance = 4.9x^(6)
