The image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph. The image crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. The point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola. Which equation can be used to model the image of the lens?

y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The image of a lens crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3.

The point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola.

To find:

The equation that can be used to model the image of the lens.

Solution:

If the graph of polynomial intersect the x-axis at c, then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

It is given that the image of a lens crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. It means (x+2) and (x-3) are factors of the function.

So, the equation of the parabola is:

[tex]y=k(x+2)(x-3)[/tex]          ...(i)

Where, k is a constant.

It is given that the point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola. It means the equation of the parabola must be satisfy by the point (-1,2).

Putting [tex]x=-1, y=2[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]2=k(-1+2)(-1-3)[/tex]

[tex]2=k(1)(-4)[/tex]

[tex]2=-4k[/tex]

Divide both sides by -4.

[tex]\dfrac{2}{-4}=k[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}=k[/tex]

Putting [tex]k=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2)(x-3)[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation of the parabola is [tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2)(x-3)[/tex].

Note: All options are incorrect.

Kiera and her brother, Desmond, are making trail mix to bring on their family's camping trip. Kiera uses 2 cups of raisins and 5 cups of nuts in her trail mix. Desmond uses 3 cups of raisins and 6 cups of nuts in his trail mix. Whose trail mix has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts?

Answers

Answer:

Kiera has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts. (2:5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, you would have to make the number of nuts the same in each to accurately compare them.

It starts with Kiera's 2 cups of raisins and 5 cups of nuts. So it will be 2:5 (raisins first then nuts.)

Desmond will be 3:6 (have to make it the same order, raisins and then nuts.)

So I multiplied both the 2 and the 5 in 2:5 by 6 first.

Then multiply both the 3 and 6 in 3:6 by 5 to make the number of nuts the same in both.

So Kiera will have 12:30 and Desmond will have 15:30.

Then you can conclude that Kiera has the lower ratio.

There is a bag filled with 5 blue and 6 red marbles.
A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced.
Another marble is taken at random.
What is the probability of getting 2 of the same colour?

Answers

Answer:

The probability of getting two of the same color is 61/121 or about 50.41%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bag is filled with five blue marbles and six red marbles.

And we want to find the probability of getting two of the same color.

If we're getting two of the same color, this means that we are either getting Red - Red or Blue - Blue.

In other words, we can find the independent probability of each case and add the probabilities together*.

The probability of getting a red marble first is:

[tex]\displaystyle P\left(\text{Red}\right)=\frac{6}{11}[/tex]

Since the marble is replaced, the probability of getting another red is: [tex]\displaystyle P\left(\text{Red, Red}\right)=\frac{6}{11}\cdot \frac{6}{11}=\frac{36}{121}[/tex]

The probability of getting a blue marble first is:

[tex]\displaystyle P\left(\text{Blue}\right)=\frac{5}{11}[/tex]

And the probability of getting another blue is:

[tex]\displaystyle P\left(\text{Blue, Blue}\right)=\frac{5}{11}\cdot \frac{5}{11}=\frac{25}{121}[/tex]

So, the probability of getting two of the same color is:

[tex]\displaystyle P(\text{Same})=\frac{36}{121}+\frac{25}{121}=\frac{61}{121}\approx50.41\%[/tex]

*Note:

We can only add the probabilities together because the event is mutually exclusive. That is, a red marble is a red marble and a blue marble is a blue marble: a marble cannot be both red and blue simultaneously.

A kite is flying 78 ft off the ground, and its string is pulled taut. The angle of elevation of the kite is 41°. Find the length of the string. Round your answer to the
nearest tenth.
PLZ HELP BEEN STUCK FOR A HOUR!!!

Answers

Answer:

Length of kite string = 118.9 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of kite = 78 feet

Angle of elevation = 41°

Find;

Length of kite string

Computation:

Height of kite = Perpendicular

Length of kite string = Hypotenuse

Using trigonometry function;

Sinθ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

Sin 41 = Height of kite / Length of kite string

0.656 = 78 / Length of kite string

Length of kite string = 78 / 0.656

Length of kite string = 118.9 feet (Approx.)

we need the functional value for t=2.

is 2 = 8 ? no. therefore the first definition does not apply.

is 2 = 10 ? no. therefore the second definition does not apply either.

is 2 unequal to 8 or 10 ? yes, 2 is 2 and not 8 and not 10.

x² = 225 - 81

x² = 144

x = [tex]\sqrt{144}[/tex]

x = 12

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x ≈ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 9² = 15²

x² + 81 = 225 ( subtract 81 from both sides )

x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = [tex]\sqrt{144}[/tex] = 12

3x < 4x < 3x + 8  < 4x + 3 < x² < x² + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because as x → ∞

3x → 3∞ ,

Also, as x → ∞

4x → 4∞ ,

Also, as x → ∞

3x + 8  → 3∞ + 8,

Also, as x → ∞

4x + 3 → 4∞ + 3 ,

Also, as x → ∞

x² → ∞²,

Also, as x → ∞

x² + 6 → ∞² + 6

and 3∞ < 4∞ < 3∞ + 8 < 4∞  + 3 < ∞² < ∞² + 6

A water tank is in the shape of a cylinder with a diameter of 20 feet and a height of 20 feet. The tank is 70% full. About how many gallons of water are in the tank?

Answers

Answer:

32901 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the volume of the cylindrical water tank when it is full.

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

V =

where r = radius and h = height of the cylinder

The diameter of the tank is 20 feet, hence, its radius is 10 feet.

Volume, V, is therefore:

V =

This is the volume of the tank, when it is full.

When it is 70% full, the volume will be:

1 cubic foot () is 7.48 gallons.

Therefore, the volume of the 70% full tank in gallons will be:

4398.23 * 7.48 = 32901.05 gallons ≅ 32901 gallons

The tank contains 32901 gallons of water.

Answer:

approximately 32,900 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

volume water in tank

v = πr²h * .70

v = π * 10² * 20 * .70

v = 4,398.2297150257 ft³

1 ft³ = 7.48 gallons

gallons in tank

4,398.2297150257 * 7.48 = 32,898.7582683922
