Mrs.Peterson dropped a ball from the top of a tower. At the same time, her son, Drake, launches a rocket from a different level of the tower.
The height of the tennis ball in feet after t seconds can be represented by the quadratic function: b(t)=-t^2-2t+26.
The height of Drakes rocket after t seconds can be represented by the linear function: p(t)=-2t+10.
What are the two solutions to this system? Show your work.
Explain which solution is not reasonable in this situation.
After how many seconds do the rocket and the ball reach the same height.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

two solutions: t = -4, t = 4t = -4 is not reasonable4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator shows the two solutions to be ...

  (t, h) = (-4, 18) and (4, 2)

__

The two heights will be equal when ...

  p(t) = b(t)

  -2t +10 = -t^2 -2t +26

  t^2 -16 = 0 . . . . subtract the right side expression

  (t -4)(t +4) = 0 . . . factor the difference of squares

  t = 4 or -4 . . . . values of t that make the factors zero

At these times, the heights will be ...

  p(t) = -2{4, -4} +10 = {-8, 8} +10 = {2, 18}

The solutions are ...

  (t, height) = (-4, 18) and (4, 2).

__

We generally discount solutions for negative time, because we start counting time when the objects are launched. t = -4 is an extraneous solution.

__

The rocket and ball reach the same height after 4 seconds.

write an indirect proof that a triangle cannot have 2 right angles​

Answers

The definition of a triangle is that it has three angles and their sum is 180 degrees. Two right angles each measure 90 degrees and their sun is 180 degrees. Therefore, a triangle cannot have two right angles because that would be two angles with a sum of 180 degrees, not three as required by the definition of a triangle.

An object is dropped from a height of 288 feet. The equation, - 16t ^ 2 + 288t = h(t) represents the height, hof the object after tseconds. How long does it take the object to the ground?

0 seconds
16 seconds
18 seconds

Answers

18 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The object will reach the ground when its height h(t) = 0. Therefore, we can write

[tex]h(t) = 288t - 16t^2 = 0 \Rightarrow 16t^2 = 288t[/tex]

The figure below shows the graph of function f with domain [-1,1] and range [0,1].

Answers

The domain are the possible input while the range are the possible output

of a function.

(a) The domain = [-√2, √2], the range = [0, 2](b) The domain = [-1, 1], the range = [0, 1](c) The domain = [-1, 1], the range = [0, -1](d) The domain = [0, 2], the range = [0, 1](e) The domain = [-(2 + √2), (√2 - 2)], the range = [0, 2]

Reasons:

The given functions can be expressed by the equation; (-x + 1)·(x + 1) = -x² + 1

Therefore, we have;

(a) y = f(x) + 1 = -x² + 1 + 1 = -x² + 2

The x-intercept of the above function are, x = √2, and x = -√2

Which gives;

The domain = [-√2, √2]

The range = [0, 2]

(b) y = 3·f(x) = 3 × (-x² + 1) = -3·x² + 3

At the x–intercepts, we have;

-3·x² + 3 = 0

x = ±1

The domain = [-1, 1]

The maximum value of y is given at x = 0, therefore;

= -3 × 0² + 3 = 3

The range = [0, 1]

(c) y = -f(x) = -(-x² + 1) = x² - 1

At the x–intercepts, x² - 1 = 0

x = ± 1

The domain = [-1, 1]

The minimum value of y is given at x = 0, which is y = -1

The range = [0, -1]

(d) y = f(x - 1) = -(x - 1)² + 1 = -x² + 2·x

At the x–intercepts, we have;  -x² + 2·x = 0, which gives;

(-x + 2)·x = 0

Which gives, x = 0, or x = 2

The domain = [0, 2]

The maximum value of y is given when x = -b/(2·a) = -2/(2×(-1)) = 1

y = f(1) =  -1² + 2×1 = 1

Therefore;

The range = [0, 1]

(e) y = f(x + 2) + 1 = (-(x + 2)² + 1) + 1 = -x² - 4·x - 2

At the x–intercepts, we have;  -x² - 4·x - 2 = 0, which gives;

x = -(2 + √2) or x = x = √2 - 2

The domain = [-(2 + √2), (√2 - 2)]

The maximum value of y is given when x = -4/(2)) = -2

Which gives;

-(-2)² - 4·(-2) - 2 = 2

The range = [0, 2]

Answer:

  C) c || d by converse of corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Only corresponding angles where transversal b crosses lines c and d are shown. All answer choices involving a||b or interior angles can be eliminated from consideration.

The "corresponding angle" theorem tells you corresponding angles are congruent if the lines are parallel.

The converse of that theorem tells you the lines are parallel if the corresponding angles are congruent. Here, the angles are shown congruent, so the "converse" theorem applies.

A = -5/4B = -0.5C = 2

=====================================

Explanation:

The fraction -5/4 converts to -1.25 after using your calculator or long division. It represents the mixed number -1 & 1/4. So we go 1 full unit to the left to arrive at -1, then we move another 1/4 unit to the left to get to point A. That's why point A is located at -5/4 = -1.25 = -1 & 1/4.

Point B is directly midway between 0 and -1, so it must be at -0.5; you can use the midpoint formula.
