An object is launched from a platform. its height in meters X seconds after the launch is modeled by h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60 how many seconds after launch Will the object land on the ground

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 seconds after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should make sure  there aren't odd symbols in your question when you post it.

Assuming it is just the equation -5x^2 + 20x + 60, if you graph it you can see the path of the ball.  at x=0 this is the starting point It then hits the ground when it touches the x axis.  So this is finding zeroes of a quadratic.

You could do this several ways; find a way to factor it, guess and check, the quadratic formula or completing the square.  I will complete the square as that is what I am most used to.  If you would like to see another let me know.

The first step in completing the square is making sure the x^2 has a coefficient of 1, so now it has -5 so we have to factor out -5 from the equation.

-5x^2+20x+60 = -5(x^2 - 4x - 12)

Now you only really need to focus on the factored expression, but I will continue writing everything.  The next step is to find (b/2)^2 where b is the coefficient of the x term.  In this case -4.  so (b/2)^2 = (-4/2)^2 = 4.

Again, focusing on x^2 - 4x - 12 you want to add and subtract (b/2)^2 from that expression.  since you are adding and subtracting you are not changing the value, but we can use this.

-5(x^2 - 4x - 12) = -5(x^2 - 4x - 12 + 4 - 4)

Here you want to rearrange it a bit.  Originally c was the constant term, -12, now you want it to be the positive (b/2)^2, which is positive 4. also you can combine the two other constant terms.  the original c and -(b/2)^2, but I will hold off for now so I don't do too much at once.

-5(x^2 - 4x - 12 + 4 - 4) = -5(x^2 - 4x + 4 - 12 - 4)

Now you focus on x^2 - 4x + 4.  Hope fully you recognize this is the same as (x-2)^2.  This always happens at this step of the process.  also notice -2 = b/2.  Using only variables here are the first steps.

ax^2 + bx + c

a(x^2 + (b/a)x + (c/a))

a(x^2 + (b/a)x + (c/a) + (b/(2a))^2 - (b/(2a)^2)

a(x^2 + (b/a)x + (b/(2a))^2 + (c/a) - (b/(2a))^2)

a((x + b/(2a))^2 + (c/a) - (b/(2a))^2)

Again, being able to make x^2 - 4x + 4 into (x-2)^2 or x^2 + (b/a)x + (b/(2a))^2 into (x + b/(2a))^2 willa lways happen.  this is because if you expand (x + b/(2a))^2 you always get x^2 + (b/a)x + (b/(2a))^2.

Now I would combine the -12-4

-5(x^2 - 4x + 4 - 12 - 4) = -5((x - 2)^2 - 12 - 4) = -5((x - 2)^2 - 16)

If you redistribute the -5 you get vertex form, but I am going to stop here  because I will just undo that in the next step.  So this is the form you want.  Finally we can find when it equals 0.  So, you set this equal to 0 and use algebra to solve.

-5((x - 2)^2 - 16) = 0

Divide both sides by -5

(x-2)^2 - 16 = 0

add 16 to both sides

(x-2)^2 = 16

Take the square root of both sides, but also count botht he positive and negative version of the answer.  the reason is both 2 and -2 squared get you 4.

x - 2 = +/-4

I am using +/- to indicate I am using both positive and negative 4.  Now though add 2 to both sides.  since you have +/- 4 you are going to get two different results.  -4+2 and 4+2

x = -2 and 6.

now, the question wants times after x=0 (the start) so you only get 6.  so x=6, or in other words 6 seconds after launch.

Let me know if you have any questions.

f(x) = x^2. What is g(x)?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the quadratic we need is

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex] where we have everything we need but a. That's what we will solve for.

x and y come from the coordinate given on the red graph:

x = 2 and y = 1

h and k come from the coordinates of the vertex:

(0, 0). Fill all that in and solve for a:

[tex]1=a(2-0)^2+0[/tex] and

1 = 4a so

a = 1/4 That makes our equation

Answer:

A. 0.25 inches

B. 0.125 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

The smallest increment is represented by 1/4. Converting this into decimal form would make this 0.25.

Work:

1/4 = x/100

1 × 100 = 4 × x

100 = 4x

25 = x

25/100

0.25

B.

The uncertainty is what is not labeled on the ruler. We know 0.25 (1/4), 0.50 (2/4), and 0.75 (3/4) are labeled on the ruler. Out of all the options, 0.125 is not labeled. Therefore, 0.125 is the uncertainty.

Suppose that your statistics professor tells you that the scores on a midterm exam were approximately
normally distributed with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 7. The top 15% of all scores have
been designated A’s. Your score is 89. Did you earn an A? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score representing 85% is 1.04 (from table)

Let x be the score representing the lower limit of 85%.

Use the formula to find z-scores:

z = (x - μ)/σ

We have:

z = 1.04, μ = 78, σ = 7

Substitute the values and solve for x:

1.04 = (x - 78)/7x - 78 = 7.28x = 85.28

The lower limit of the top 15% is 85.28.

Since your score is greater than 85.28 you earned an A

x = 5 : y → 4(5) - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

x = 7 : y → 4(7) - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27

x = 9 : y → 4(9) - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35

We want to know what percentage of the population have college degrees. We take a sample of 100 individuals and find that 28 have college degrees. Answer the following, rounding your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What is the sample proportion? b. Find the SE. c. Construct a 95% confidence interval. d. What does this 95% confidence interval tell us about our population proportion p? (One sentence is the perfect length for an answer)

Answers

Answer:

a) p = 28/100    p  =  0,28      or     p  =  28%

b) SE = 0,0448

c) CI 95 %  =  ( 0.1921 ; 0.368 )

We can support with 95 % of confidence that the proportion of people with a College degree would be found within these limits

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample proportion:  Is the number of positive success divide by sample size

That is from 100 ( individuals) ( sample size ) it was found that 28 had College degree  ( positive success)

Then p = 28/100    p  =  0,28      or     p  =  28%

b) The standard error is

SE =  (√p*q)/n

p = 0,28   then  q =  1  -  0,28     q  =  0,72

SE =   √ (0.28)*(0.72)/100

SE =  √0.002016

SE = 0,0448

c) CI =  95 %     then  significance level is  α =  5 %    α = 0.05  

α/2 =  0.025

From z- table we find z(c)  = 1.96

Then  CI 95 %  =  p₀  ±  z(c) * SE

CI 95 %  =  0.28  ±  1.96*0.0448

CI 95 %  =  ( 0.28 ±  0.088 )

CI 95 %  =  ( 0.1921 ; 0.368 )

d) We can support with 95 % of confidence that the proportion of people with college degree would be found within these limits

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2679 base hits last season. Pedro had 283 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each player have?
Pedro had base hits

Answers

Answer:

Pedro: 1481 Base hits

Ricky: 1198 Base hits

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take the total amount of base hits last season 2679, then subtract how many more Pedro has 283.

2679 - 283 = 2396 now divide the sum in half  2396 ÷ 2 = 1198 that gives you how many each player has, you're then going to add the amount that you took off to only Pedras total since he had 283 more

Pedro: 1198 + 283 = 1481

Ricky: 1198

AB belongs to triangle ABC.

To find hypotunuse AB, we need BC and AC so that we can use pythagorean thereom.

BC is already given --> 1.

AC is a diagonal of the rectangular prisms's base.

We already have 2 sides for the triangle that the base diagonal belong's to.

AC^2 = 4^2 + 6^2

AC^2 = 16 + 36 = 52

AC = √52

Now we have AC ad BC. We can find AB using pythagorean thereom.

AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2

(√52)^2 + (1)^2 = AB^2

52 + 1 = AB^2

AB^2 = 53

AB = √53
