Xavier shoots a basketball in which the height, in feet, is modeled by the equation,h(t) = -4t2 + 10 + 18, where t is time, in
seconds. What is the maximum height of the basketball?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum height of the basketball is of 24.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, y_{v})[/tex]

In which

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]y_{v}[/tex].

Height of the basketball:

Given by the following function:

[tex]h(t) = -4t^2 + 10t + 18[/tex]

Which is a quadratic function with [tex]a = -4, b = 10, c = 18[/tex]

What is the maximum height of the basketball?

y(in this case h) of the vertex. So

[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac = 10^2 - 4(-4)(18) = 388[/tex]

[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{388}{4(-4)} = 24.25[/tex]

The maximum height of the basketball is of 24.25 feet.

Sadie and Connor both play soccer. Connor scored 2 times as many goals as Sadie. Together they scored 9 goals. Could Sadie have scored 4 goals? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

no

the goal total would be too high

Step-by-step explanation: If Sadie had scored 4 goals, Connor would have scored 2 times 4 = 8 goals. Their goal total would then be 4+8 = 12, not 9. Sadie cannot have scored 4 goals.

__

If we let s represent the number of goals Sadie scored, then 2s is the number Connor scored. Their total is ...

 s + 2s = 9

 3s = 9 . . . . . . collect terms

 s = 9/3 = 3 . . . divide by the coefficient of s

Sadie scored 3 goals. (s=4 is not the solution to the problem)

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 1) and a directrix of y = -1. ​

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is y = x²/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given focus of the parabola = (0, 1)

The directrix of the parabola is y = -1

A form of the equation of a parabola is presented as follows;

(x - h)² = 4·p·(y - k)

We note that the equation of the directrix is y = k - p

The focus = (h, k + p)

Therefore, by comparison, we have;

k + p = 1...(1)

k - p = -1...(2)

h = 0...(3)

Adding equation (1) to equation (2) gives;

On the left hand side of the addition, we have;

k + p + (k - p) = k + k + p - p = 2·k

On the right hand side of the addition, we have;

1 + -1 = 0

Equating both sides, gives;

2·k = 0

∴ k = 0/2 = 0

From equation (1)

k + p = 0 + 1 = 1

∴ p = 1

Plugging in the values of the variables, 'h', 'k', and 'p' into the equation of the parabola, (x - h)² = 4·p·(y - k), gives;

(x - 0)² = 4 × 1 × (y - 0)

∴ x² = 4·y

The general form of the equation of the parabola, y = a·x² + b·x + c, is therefore;

y = x²/4.

A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

This is false because A density graph is not used to find the probability of a discrete random variable taking on a range of values. This is because you have to use a calculations instead of a graph. The correct how to calculate is: Determine a single event with a single outcome. Identify the total number of outcomes that can occur. Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes.

Chris was given 1/3 of the 84 cookies in the cookie jar. He ate 3/4 of the cookies that he was given. How many cookies did Chris eat?

Answers

Answer:

21 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First we know that Chris was given a third of 84 cookies so we can start working on this problem by figuring out what a third of 84 is. We can do this by multiplying 84 by 1/3 or just dividing by 3, which gives us: 84/3 = 28

So now we know that Chris was given 28 cookies, we can figure out what 3/4 of that is to work out how many cookies he ate. 28 x (3/4) = 21 cookies.

Chris ate 21 cookies.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 × 84 = 28

3/4 × 28 = 21

Can we conclude that the mean lifetime of the bulbs made by this manufacture differ from 51 months?

Answers

Answer:

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Manufacturing process under control must produce items that follow a normal distribution.

Manufacturer information:

μ  =  51 months     mean lifetime

σ  =  7 months       standard deviation

Sample Information:

x  =  51 months

n  =  60

Confidence Interval  =  90 %

Then significance level  α  =  10 %  α  =  0.1    α/2  =  0,05

Since it is a manufacturing process the distribution is a normal distribution, and with   n = 60 we should use a Z test on two tails.

Then from z- table z(c) for  α = 0,05  is  z(c)  = 1.64

Hypothesis  Test:

Null Hypothesis                              H₀            x  =  μ

Alternative Hypothesis                  Hₐ            x ≠  μ

To calculate z statistics  z(s)

z(s)  =   (  x   -  μ )  / σ /√n

z(s)  =   (  53  -  51 ) / 7 /√60

z(s)  =  2 * 7.746 / 7

z(s)  = 2.213

Comparing  z(s)  and  z(c)

z(s)  >  z(c)   then  z(s)  is in the rejection region

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month
