Scenario: The Cannon Instructions: View the video found on page 1 of this Journal activity. Using the information provided in the video, answer the questions below. Show your work for all calculations. The Cannon: Ernest's friend Nik is about to be shot out of a cannon. The path he will travel follows a parabolic arch that can be described by this polynomial. f(x) = –0.05(x2 – 26x – 120) He is supposed to land on a safety net 30 feet away. Does the function give you enough information to tell you where he will land? If so, how far from the cannon will he land?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

Yes

Part B

He will land at a point 30 meters from Cannon

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given function that represent the path of the Cannon, which is the path of a parabolic arc, is presented as follows;

f(x) = -0.05·(x² - 26·x - 120)

We note that the height, 'h', of the path of a parabola at a horizontal distance, 'x' from the origin is equal to f(x)

Therefore, given that at the ground level, at the start and end of the flight, the f(x) = 0, we can write;

-0.05·(x² - 26·x - 120) = 0

∴ x² - 26·x - 120 = 0

x = (26 ± √((-26)² - 4 × 1 × (-120)))/(2 × 1)

Which gives;

x = 30 or x = -4

Therefore, he lands at a point 30 meters from the starting point

Therefore, the function gives enough information to tell where he will land

Part B

He lands at the point, x = 30 from the point the cannon was fired.

Two planes just took off from Boston, MA. The first plane is traveling 2.5 times as fast as the second plane. After traveling in the same direction for 5 hours, they are 735 miles apart. What is the average speed of each plane? (Hint: Since they are traveling in the same direction, the distance between them will be the difference of their distances.)

Answers

Answer:

Plane 1:  rate = 245 mph

Plane 2:  rate = 98 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane 2:  Let r = rate

                    d = 5r

Plane 1:    2.5r = rate

                    d = 5(2.5r)

5(2.5r) - 5r = 735

12.5r - 5r = 735

7.5r = 735

r = 98

A blueprint shows an apartment with an area of 15 square inches. If the blueprint's scale is 1 inch : 8 feet, what will the actual square footage of the apartment be?

Answers

I got 480 square feet. I assume that the apartment was a rectangle so the sides were 3in by 5in. Then I converted inches to feet and then found the area again

The actual area of the apartment will be 960 square feet.

What is dilation?

Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.

There is no effect of dilation on the angle.

A blueprint shows an apartment with an area of 15 square inches.

If the blueprint's scale is 1 inch : 8 feet.

Then the scale factor will be 8/1 feet per inch.

Then the actual area square footage of the apartment will be

Actual area = 15 x (scale factor)²

Then the actual area of the footage will be

Actual area = 15 x (8/1)²

Actual area = 15 x 64

Actual area = 960 square feet

Thus, the actual area of the apartment will be 960 square feet.

More about the dilation link is given below.

Answers

Answer:

77 cm^3

22 m^3

22 kl^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cylinder = nr^2h

n = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

1. Radius = 3.5 / 2 = 1.75

Volume = (22/7) x (8) x 1.75^2 = 77 cm^3

2. radius = 2/2 = 1m

Volume = (22/7) x (7) x 1^2 = 22 cm^3

1 meter = 1 kilolitre

capacity = volume

capacity = 22 kl^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume that 1/3 is the coefficient of the x.

f(x) = 1/3x + 6

y = 1/3x + 6

x = 1/3y + 6

x - 6 = 1/3y

a cylinder shaped water pitcher has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 12.5 inches find the surface area of the pitcher
A.5495 in² B. 54.95 in²
C.549.5 in² D. 5.495 in²​

Answers

Question:-

A cylinder shaped water pitcher has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 12.5 inches. Find the surface area of the pitcher.

Answer:-

Given:-

[tex] \bullet [/tex] Radius (r) of a cylinder shaped water pitcher = 5 inches.

[tex] \bullet [/tex] Height (h) of a cylinder shaped water pitcher = 12.5 inches.

To Find:-

The surface area of the pitcher.

Solution:-

We know,

Formula of Surface area of a cylinder is 2πr(r + h) sq. units.

So,

Surface area of the pitcher = 2 × 3.14 × 5(5 + 12.5)

Surface area of the pitcher = 31.4 × 17.5

Surface area of the pitcher = 549.5 in²

[tex] \therefore [/tex] The surface area of the pitcher is 549.5 in².

Hence, the option (C) 549.5 in² is correct. [Answer]

The surface area of the cylinder is  549.50  in².

What is the surface area of the cylinder?

A cylinder is a three-dimensional object. It is made up of a prism with a circular base. The total surface area is the sum of the areas of the faces or surfaces of a 3-dimensional object

Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)

Where:

π = 3.14r = 5 h = height

2 x 3.14 x 5 (5 + 12.5) = 549.50  in²

Alex has 512 cubes, with dimensions in feet (ft), like the one shown. He uses all the cubes to fill a box shaped like a larger rectangular prism. There are no gaps between the cubes.

Answers

A) First, find the volume of each cube:

V = s³

  = (1/2)³

  = 1/8 ft³

We have a total of 64 cubes, therefore the maximum volume will be:

Vmax = 64 · (1/8) = 8 ft³

B) The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

V = w × l × h

Therefore any combination of w × l × h = Vmax = 8 will be fine.

Examples:

2 × 2 × 2

4 × 2 × 1

What is the measure of angle B?
12∘
20∘
141∘
129∘

Answers

Answer:

12°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the easy first.

We know that m∠C is 39° because together ∠C and the exterior angle equal 180°. And 180 - 141 = 39.

Now, we can use this to find the remaining two angles.

180° - 39° = 141°

So, this means that we can set up m∠A + m∠B = 141°.

6x + 9 + x - 8 = 141

7x + 1 = 141

7x = 140

x = 20

Finally, we can plug in for our x value and find m∠B.

m∠B = x - 8

m∠B = 20 - 8

m∠B = 12°

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
Oys 2x + 4
Oyszx+ 3
O yz {x + 3
O y 2x + 3

Answers

i’m sorry but where is the graph?

The linear inequality that represents the graph is: [tex]y \le \frac 23x + \frac 15[/tex]

The line of the inequality passes through the points:

(0,0.2) and (3,2.2)

So, the slope of the line is:

[tex]m = \frac{2.2 - 0.2}{3 - 0}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2}{3 }[/tex]

The equation is then calculated as:

[tex]y =mx + c[/tex]

Where c represents the value of y, when x = 0.

So, we have:

[tex]y =\frac 23x + 0.2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]y =\frac 23x + \frac 15[/tex]

The down region is shaded, and the line is a closed line.

So, the inequality is:

[tex]y \le \frac 23x + \frac 15[/tex]
