Amissile is launched from the ground. its height, h(x), can be represented by a quadratic function in terms of time, x, in seconds. 130 after 1 second, the missile is 103 feet in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 240 feet in the air. find the height, in feet, of the missile after 11 seconds in the air.

The height of the missile in the air  after 11 seconds is 330 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for the quadratic function f(x)= , which is the function of the parabola model.

We are given two points.

(1, 130) and (2, 240)

Here the first coordinate represents the x (time) and the second coordinate represents h(x), which is height.

Now plug these two coordinates and find the two equations.

(1, 130), the equation is

130 = a.(1)^2 + b(1) + c, where "c" is the initial height. Which is equal to zero.

Therefore, we get

130 = a + b + 0

a + b = 130 -------(1)

Now let's form the second equation using the coordinate (2, 240)

240 =

240 = 4a + 2b -------------(2)

Now let's solve the equations (1) and (2) and find the value of "a" and "b"

a + b = 130 can be written as a = 130 - b

Here we can use the substitution method.

Now plug in a = 130 - b in the second equation, we get

240 = 4(130 - b) + 2b

240 = 520 - 4b + 2b

240 = 520 - 2b

2b = 520 - 240

2b = 280

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

b = 140

Now plug in b = 140 in a = 130 -b and find the value of a

a = 130 - 140

a = -10

Now we got a = -10 and b = 140.

We plug in a = -10 and b = 140 in the general form, we gety

h(x) =

Where c is the initial height, which is equal to 0.

h(x) =

Now plug in x = 11 seconds and find the height.

h(11) = -10(11)^2 + 140 (11)

= -10 (121) + 1540

= - 1210 + 1540

h(11) = 330 feet,

Therefore, the height of the missile in the air  after 11 seconds is 330 feet.
