Problema Solution
The function h(x) = 1/98 x square describes h(x) the height is part of a roller coaster track, where. X is the horizontal distance in feet from the center of this section of the track., the towers that support this part of the track are the same height and are 150 feet apart. Which is the best estimate of the height of the towers.
Answer provided by our tutors
the towers are x = 150/2 = 75 ft horizontal distance from the center thus their height is
h(75) = (1/98)*75^2
h(75) = 57.4 ft
the best estimate of the height of the towers is 57.4 ft.
