discuss two practical applications in which piecewise functions are used either explicitly or implicitly

Aheated piece of metal cools according to the function c(x) = (.5)x ? 7, where x is measured in hours. a device is added that aids in cooling according to the function h(x) = ? x ? 2. what will be the temperature of the metal after two hours?

Taking algebra two apex courses and need with these questions

Amodel rocket is launched from a roof into a large field. the path of the rocket can be modeled by the equation y = -0.04x^2 + 8.6x + 4.8, where x is the horizontal distance, in meters, from the starting point on the roof and y is the height, in meters, of the rocket above the ground. how far horizontally from its starting point will the rocket land? a. 0.56 m b. 215.56 m c. 431.11 m d. 215.74 m
