Question

Maya throws a rock
straight up from the edge
of a 192-foot cliff and into
the ocean. After two
seconds, the rock
reaches a maximum
height of 256 feet. Four
seconds later, the rock
enters the ocean
Write an equation to
model the scenario.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.256 = 4x

So first Maya throws the rock from the 192-foot cliff into the ocean.

After 2 seconds, the rock reaches a maximum height of 256 feet;

so 2 seconds, 256 feet - 2.256

After 4 seconds, the rock reaches the ocean.

so 4  seconds, it reaches the ocean but we don't know how many feet. ( x )

-- 4 seconds, x feet.

equation: 2 . 256 = 4 . x

Good luck!
