A player shoots a basketball from a height of 6 feet. The equation, , gives the height, h, of the basketball after t seconds. Describe the height, rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot, of the basketball after 1.5 seconds, assuming no other player touches the ball.

feet above the ground

Answers

Answer 1

It will be 6 - 4.875 = 1.125 feet above the ground or 1.1 feet (rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot).

All you need to do is to replace t in the given equation with 1.5:

[tex]h=-16(1.5)^2+25(1.5)+6[/tex]

h=-4.875

The value is negative so we can assume that after 1.5 seconds the ball will be 4.875 feet lower than it was shot from.

What is the height?

The measurement of someone or something from head to foot or from base to top.

But we also know that it was shot from a height of 6 feet,

So it will be 6 - 4.875 = 1.125 feet above the ground or 1.1 feet (rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot).

O d. No y-int and x-int x =4/3​

Answers

Answer:

O c. y-int y = 4 and No x-int

Step-by-step explanation:

In the slope-intercept equation y = -3x + 4, only slope and y-intercept are displayed as it is in slope-intercept format which is y = mx + b; m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

There is no x-intercept present in a slope-intercept equation.

But due to the 4 being in the place of the y-intercept is the y-intercept of the graph and line depicted off this linear equation (slope-intercept equation).

Hence, the answer is C. Y-intercept = 4 and No x-intercept.

Use interval notation to indicate all real numbers between and including −3 and 5.

Answers

Answer:

[-3,5]

Step-by-step explanation:

Interval notation is a shorthand way of writing and interval of values.  To describe an interval, imagine the two endpoints on the number-line.  Then, list the two endpoint values, leftmost point from the number-line first, separated by a comma.  Lastly, include the appropriate brackets for each endpoint:

Only two brackets total will be used for each interval, a bracket to start it, and one bracket to end it.If a number is included, a square bracket should be used -- either "[" or "]"If the endpoint number is not meant to be included, a 'curved bracket' (which we usually just call a parenthesis) should be used -- either "(" or ")"

For our situation, the two endpoints are -3 and 5.  -3 is to the left of 5 on the number-line, so -3 should be listed first

[tex]-3,5[/tex]

Lastly, the directions say "including -3 and 5", so both endpoints should be included.

To include the -3 on the left, we'll use "["To include the 5 on the right, we'll use "]"

Solve, finding all solutions in [0, 2(pi)]

Answers

Answer:

  x = π/12, 5π/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work this problem a couple of ways. We can convert it to single trig function, shifted horizontally. Or we can convert it to a double-angle equation.

__

horizontal shift

We recall the sum of angles formula is ...

  sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y) +cos(x)sin(y)

Using this, we can rewrite the left side of the equation using some angle offset y, and some scale factor k.

  k·sin(x +y) = k·sin(y)·cos(x) +k·cos(y)·sin(x) = 2cos(x) +2sin(x)

finding the shift

Equating coefficients of cos(x) and sin(x), we can solve for k and y:

  k·sin(y) = 2

  k·cos(y) = 2

The ratio of these equations is ...

  (k·sin(y))/(k·cos(y)) = 2/2

  tan(y) = 1   ⇒   y = π/4

  k = 2/sin(π/4) = 2√2

shifted equation

So, our original equation becomes ...

  2√2·sin(x +π/4) = √6

Dividing by √2 and using the inverse sine function, we have ...

  x +π/4 = arcsin((√3)/2) = π/2 ±π/6

  x = π/4 ±π/6

  x = π/12, 5π/12

__

double-angle equation

If we square both sides of the original equation, we get ...

  (2sin(x) +2cos(x))² = (√6)²

  4sin²(x) +8sin(x)cos(x) +4cos²(x) = 6

  2sin(x)cos(x) = (6 -4)/4 = 1/2 . .  . . use sin² +cos² = 1, subtract 4, divide by 4

Using the trig identity 2sin(x)cos(x) = sin(2x), we can find ...

  2x = arcsin(1/2) = π/2 ±π/3 +2kπ . . . . k = an integer;

  x = π/4 ±π/6 +kπ . . . . for integer k

  x = {π/12, 5π/12, 13π/12, 17π/12}

We know that squaring the equation can introduce extraneous solutions, so we need to try these out. For x in the third quadrant, the sine and cosine values are both negative, so the only useful solutions here are ...

  x = π/12, 5π/12

_____

Additional comment

Based on the above, we now know that any trig expression of the form ...

  a·sin(x) +b·cos(x)

can be rewritten to the form ...

  (√(a² +b²))·sin(x +arctan(b/a)) . . . . . a scaled and shifted sine function

The arctangent will have to take the signs of 'a' and 'b' into account in order to get the angle quadrant right.
