The function f(x) = -5x² + 20x + 55 models the height of a ball x seconds after it is thrown into the air. What is the total time that the ball is in the air?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The ball is in the air for about 5.873 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function:

[tex]f(x)=-5x^2+20x+55[/tex]

Models the height of a ball x seconds after it is thrown in the air.

And we want to find the total time the ball is in the air.

So, we can simply find the time x at which the ball lands. If it lands, its height f above the ground will be 0. Thus:

[tex]0=-5x^2+20x+55[/tex]

We will solve for x. Dividing both sides by -5 yields:

[tex]0=x^2-4x-11[/tex]

The equation is unfactorable, so we can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 1, b = -4, and c = -11. So:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(-11)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned} x&=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{16+44}}{2}\\&=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{60}}{2}\\&=\frac{4\pm2\sqrt{15}}{2}\\&=2\pm\sqrt{15}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Approximate:

[tex]x_1=2+\sqrt{15}\approx5.873\text{ or } x_2=2-\sqrt{15}\approx-1.873[/tex]

Since time cannot be negative, our only solution is the first choice.

So, the ball is in the air for about 5.873 seconds.

find the measure of arc VF. (look at the picture provided) please help

Answers

Answer:

60degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the theorem that states that angle at the vertex is half the difference of the angles at the intercepted arcs

Angle at vertex can be gotten by taking the difference of 119 and 65

Angle at the vertex = 119 - 65

Angle at the vertex = 54

Hence;

54 = 1/2(168-VF)

Cross multiply

54  * 2 = 168-VF

108 = 168 - VF

VF = 168 - 108

VF = 60degrees

Hence the measure of arc VF is 60degrees

Triangle XYZ is inscribed in semicircle O shown below such that YZ = 7 and YX = 10. Which of the following
is closest to the radius of the semicircle?

(1) 5.8
(2) 6.1
(3) 11.6
(4) 12.2

Answers

Answer:

(2)   6.1

tep-by-step explanation:

∠Y is a right angle, so ΔXYZ is a right triangle

[tex]XZ^{2} = XY^{2} + YZ^{2}[/tex]

[tex]XZ^{2} = 7^{2} + 10^{2}[/tex] = 49 + 100 = 149

XZ = [tex]\sqrt{149}[/tex] = 12.2

XZ is the diameter of the semicircle, therefore, the radius is 12.2/2 = 6.1

Graph y = x2 - 8x + 13

Answers

y=x^2-8x+16-3=(x-4)^2-3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given x^2 - 8x + 13 we can find several points to graph to represent this quadratic function.

The y-intercept is (0, 13) and stems from letting x = 0.

                                                 b

The axis of symmetry is x = - -----

                                                 2a

                                                                                    -8

Since a = 1 and b = -8, the axis of symmetry is x = - ------- = 4

                                                                                      2(1)

and so the vertex is at (4, 4^2 - 8(4) + 13), or (4, -3)

If you want to go the extra mile, find the roots of the given equation.  These are also your x-intercepts.  One such intercept is (2. 0).  

Plot these points and draw a smooth curve through them.

You roll a 6-sided die.

What is P(5)?

Answers

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

you have a 6 sided die that is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

you roll it once, so the probability that you will roll a five is 1/6

this is because you only want one specific number so that goes on the numerator of the fraction.

then, you have to multiply how many sides you have on the die to the number of rolls. in this case we have one roll and six sides. so the six goes on the denomerator side of the fraction


Use 5 miles = 8 km to convert 18 mph to m/s.
Give your answer as an integer.

Answers

Answer:

8 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 miles = 18*8/5 = 28.8km

28.8 km = 28.8 * 1000

= 28,800 m.

There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

Therefore:

28800 meters per hour = 28800/3600

= 8 m/s.

Jasmine bought a new stereo system for $480.50 if the tax rate is 6 1/2 what was the total cost of the stereo system?

Answers

Answer:

$511.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Cost of stereo system= $480.50

Tax= 6 1/2% = 6.5%

Let us find the amount of the tax

=6.5/100*480.5

=0.065*480.5

=$31.2

Hence the amount of the tax = $31.2

Therefore the total cost is

=31.2+480.50

=$511.7

Answers

Answer:

the approximate value after 6 years is $443

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the approximate value after 6 years is shown below:

= Current value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $250 × (1 + 0.10)^6

= $250 × 1.1^6

= $442.8903

= $443

Hence, the approximate value after 6 years is $443

Answers

C. If you go to a website called Desmos and type in your equation, it’ll give you the parabola. :)

The coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is option (C) (1,-2) is the correct answer.

What is the equation of the parabola?

The set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed line and a fixed point (not on the fixed line) in the plane is a parabola. The fixed line is the ‘directrix’ and the fixed point is the ‘focus’. The point of intersection of the parabola with the axis is the vertex.

For the given situation,

The equation of parabola is [tex](x-1)^2=12(y+2)[/tex] ------ (1)

The diagram below shows the parabola and the vertex of the equation of parabola.

The general form of the equation of parabola is

[tex](x-h)^{2} =4a(y-k)[/tex]

Here the vertex is (h,k)

Now compare the equation 1 with this general form, we get

⇒ [tex]h=1[/tex] and [tex]k=-2[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is option (C) (1,-2) is the correct answer.
