Chapter 3, Problem 5P
Torricelli's Law Water in a tank will flow out of a small hole in the bottom faster when the tank is nearly full than when it is nearly empty. According to Torricelli’s Law, the height h(t) of water remaining at time t is a quadratic function of t.
A certain tank is filled with water and allowed to drain. The height of the water is measured at different times as shown in the table.
(a) Find the quadratic polynomial that best fits the data.
(b) Draw a graph of the polynomial from part (a) together with a scatter plot of the data
(c) Use your graph from part (b) to estimate how long it takes for the tank to drain completely.

- PROBLEMS Torricellis Law Water in a tank flow out of small hole in the bottom faster when the tank is nearly full than when it is nearly empty. According to Torricellis Law, the height ht of water remaining at time t is a quadratic function of t. A certain tank is filled with water and allowed to drain. The height of the water is measured at different times as shown in the table. (a) Find the quadratic polynomial that best fits the data. (b) Draw a graph of the polynomial from parta together with a scatter plot of the data. (c) Use your graph from partb to estimate how long it takes for the tank to drain completely.

- Height of a football A football is thrown by a quarterback from the 10-yard line and caught by the wide receiver on the 50-yard line. The footballs path on this interval can be modeled by the quadratic function f(x)=120x2+3x19, where x is the horizontal distance in yards from the goal line and f(x) is the height of the football in feet. Find the maximum height reached by the football.arrow_forwardFinding Quadratic Functions Find a function f whose graph is a parabola with the given vertex and that passes through the given point.
