Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No answer is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can identify what the parabola looks like.

A parabola of form ax²+bx+c opens upward if a > 0 and downward if a < 0. The a is what the x² is multiplied by, and in this case, it is positive 2. Therefore, this parabola opens upward.

Next, the vertex of a parabola is equal to -b/(2a). Here, b (what x is multiplied by) is 1 and a =2, so -b/(2a) = -1/4 = -0.25.

This means that the parabola opens upward, and is going down until it reaches the vertex of x=-0.25 and up after that point. Graphing the function confirms this.

Given these, we can then solve for when the endpoints of the interval are reached and go from there.

The first endpoint in -2 ≤ f(x) ≤ 16 is f(x) = 2. Therefore, we can solve for f(x)=-2 by saying

2x²+x-4 = -2

add 2 to both sides to put everything on one side into a quadratic formula

2x²+x-2 = 0

To factor this, we first can identify, in ax²+bx+c, that a=2, b=1, and c=-2. We must find two values that add up to b=1 and multiply to c*a = -2  * 2 = -4. As (2,-2), (4,-1), and (-1,4) are the only integer values that multiply to -4, this will not work. We must apply the quadratic formula, so

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x = (-1 ± √(1-(-4*2*2)))/(2*2)

= (-1 ± √(1+16))/4

= (-1 ± √17) / 4

when f(x) = -2

Next, we can solve for when f(x) = 16

2x²+x-4 = 16

subtract 16 from both sides to make this a quadratic equation

2x²+x-20 = 0

To factor, we must find two values that multiply to -40 and add up to 1. Nothing seems to work here in terms of whole numbers, so we can apply the quadratic formula, so

x = (-1 ± √(1-(-20*2*4)))/(2*2)

= (-1 ± √(1+160))/4

= (-1 ± √161)/4

Our two values of f(x) = -2 are (-1 ± √17) / 4 and our two values of f(x) = 16 are (-1 ± √161)/4 . Our vertex is at x=-0.25, so all values less than that are going down and all values greater than that are going up. We can notice that

(-1 - √17)/4 ≈ -1.3 and (-1-√161)/4 ≈ -3.4 are less than that value, while (-1+√17)/4 ≈ 0.8 and (-1+√161)/4 ≈ 2.9 are greater than that value. This means that when −2 ≤ f(x) ≤ 16 , we have two ranges -- from -3.4 to -1.3 and from 0.8 to 2.9 . Between -1.3 and 0.8, the function goes down then up, with all values less than f(x)=-2. Below -3.4 and above 2.9, all values are greater than f(x) = 16. One thing we can notice is that both ranges have a difference of approximately 2.1 between its high and low x values. The question asks for a value of a where a ≤ x ≤ a+3. As the difference between the high and low values are only 2.1, it would be impossible to have a range of greater than that.

We have

(a + bx) / (a - bx) = (b + cx) / (b - cx)

==>   (a + bx) (b - cx) = (a - bx) (b + cx)

==>   ab + (b ² - ac) x - bcx ² = ab + (ac - b ²) x - bcx ²

==>   (b ² - ac) x = (ac - b ²) x

==>   b ² - ac = ac - b ²

==>   2b ² = 2ac

==>   b ² = ac … … … [1]

Similarly, you would find

(a + bx) / (a - bx) = (c + dx) / (c - dx)

==>   ad = bc … … … [2]

and

(b + cx) / (b - cx) = (c + dx) / (c - dx)

==>   c ² = bd … … … [3]

Now:

c ² = bd   ==>   b = c ² / d

b ² = ac   ==>   c = b ² / a

ad = bc   ==>   d = bc / a

and we find

d / c = (bc / a) / (b ² / a) = c / b

and

c / b = (b ² / a) / (c ² / d) = (b ² d) / (a c ²) = b / a

which is to say, the ratio between d and c is equal to the ratio between c and b, and also equal to the ratio between b and a. Therefore (a, b, c, d) are in a geometric progression.

To get the numerator of that problem, we take the number of kids and multiply it by the corresponding age and add them all together. To get the denominator, we add the total number of kids together. That will look like this mathematically, setting the mean equal to 14.44, as stated:

[tex]14.44=\frac{13(15)+14(42)+15X+16(10)+17(3)}{15+42+X+10+3}[/tex] and simplify that a bit to

14.44(70 + X) = 994 + 15X and

Parallelogram PARL is similar to parallelogram WXYZ. If AP = 7, PL = 15, and WZ = 45, find the value of c.

Answers

Answer:

c = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

**I assume that side WX in my diagram (attached as an image below) is the value of C that we're looking for. ALSO, the sizes and lengths of the parallelograms are NOT to scale.**

If two parallelograms are similar, that means the lengths of the corresponding sides have EQUAL ratios.

PL corresponds with WZ. To get from 15 to 45, you would multiply 15 by 3, so the ratio of the legnths of the corresponding sides between these two parallelograms is 1:3.

With that in mind, we can apply this ratio to find WX.

We know that AP has a length of 7, so we will multiply that by 3, getting a value of 21, and 7:21 ratio is the same as 1:3.

c = 21

The above can be simplified as follow:

a√c × b√d = (a×b)√(c×d)

3√2 × 2√8 × √3 × √6 = (3×2)√(2×8×3×6)

= 6√288

Recall

288 = 144 × 2

6√288 = 6√(144 × 2)

Recall

√(a×b) = √a × √b

6√(144 × 2) = 6 × √144 × √2

x = 90 - 60

We used the information we know to give us this equation.

90°+60°+x=180°

We add 90° and 60° to give 150°

150°+x=180°

mZEFG =

Answers

Answer:

m<EFG = 72°

m<GFH = 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<EFG = 2n + 16

m<GFH = 3n + 24

Linear pairs are supplementary, therefore,

m<EFG + m<GFH = 180°

Substitute

2n + 16 + 3n + 24 = 180

Add like terms

5n + 40 = 180

5n + 40 - 40 = 180 - 40 (subtraction property of equality)

5n = 140

5n/5 = 140/5 (division property of equality)

n = 28

✔️m<EFG = 2n + 16

Plug in the value of n

m<EFG = 2(28) + 16 = 72°

✔️m<GFH = 3n + 24

Plug in the value of n

m<GFH = 3(28) + 24 = 108°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to complete the square on the quadratic. This allows us to see what the vertex is and answer the question without having to plug in a ton of numbers to see what the max y value is. Completing the square will naturally put the equation into vertex form:

[tex]y=-a(x-h)^2+k[/tex] where h will be the time it takes to get to a height of k.

Begin by setting the quadratic equal to 0 and then moving over the constant, like this:

[tex]-4.9t^2+19.6t=-58.8[/tex] and the rule is that the leading coefficient has to be a 1. Ours is a -4.9 so we have to factor it out:

[tex]-4.9(t^2-4t)=-58.8[/tex] Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is a -4, from -4t. Half of -4 is -2, and -2 squared is 4, so we add a 4 to both sides. BUT on the left we have that -4.9 out front there as a multiplier, so we ACTUALLY added on to the left was -4.9(4) which is -19.6:

[tex]-4.9(t^2-4t+4)=-58.8-19.6[/tex] and now we have to clean this up. The right side is easy, that is -78.4. The left side...not so much.

The reason we complete the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which is the [tex](x-h)^2[/tex] part from above. Completing the square does this naturally, now it's just up to us to write the binomial created during the process:

[tex]-4.9(t-2)^2=-78.4[/tex] Now, move the constant back over and set the equation back equal to y:

[tex]-4.9(t-2)^2+78.4=s(t)[/tex] and we see that the vertex is (2, 78.4). That means that 2 seconds after launch, the object reached its max height of 78.4 meters, the third choice down.
