Pierre throws a snowball up in the
air. The height of the snowball in
feet, h(x), can be represented by
h(x) = -0.5x2 + 6x + 4, where x is
the horizontal distance the snowball
travels in feet. Pierre wants to
know how far the snowball has
traveled when the height is 20
feet.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the given function, it is found that the snowball traveled 4 feet when the height is 20 feet.

What is the function for the ball's height?

The height when x feet are traveled is given by:

h(x) = -0.5x² + 6x + 4.

When the height is of 20 meters, we have that h(x) = 20, hence:

20 = -0.5x² + 6x + 4.

0.5x² - 6x + 16 = 0

x² - 12x + 32 = 0

(x - 8)(x - 4) = 0

For the first time: x - 4 = 0 -> x = 4.

The snowball traveled 4 feet when the height is 20 feet.

The ceiling of Katie’s living room is a square that is 15 ft long on each side. To decorate for a party, she plans to hang crepe paper around the perimeter of the ceiling and then from each corner to the opposite corner. Katie can buy rolls that each contain 20 ft of crepe paper. What is the minimum number of rolls she should buy? Show your work.

Answers

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of all sides of the square ceiling is 15 ft

Perimeter of the ceiling = 4 * length of each side = 15 * 4 = 60 ft

Distance from one corner to another corner i.e. BD and AC (in the figure below) forms the diagonals of the square ceiling

We know that,

Diagonal of a square = √(2) * a , where a is the length of the side of the square.

Therefore,

BD = AC = 15 √(2)

Thus,

Total crepe paper required = Perimeter of the ceiling + BD + AC = 60 + 15 √(2) + 12 √(2) = 102.43 ft

Crepe paper in each roll = 20 ft

Therefore,

Number of rolls required = 102.43 / 20 = 5.1215

Therefore, the minimum number of rolls she should buy is 6

Answer:

m∡EFG = 139°, and m∡ IFH = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that vertical angles are congruent so we can say that

∡EFG ≅∡DFH and that ∡EFD≅∡GFH

Congruent angles have the same measure therefore

∡EFG = ∡DFH  = 6x+25 and

∡EFD = ∡GFH = 2x+3

Use that all those angles add up to 360° to find x

∡EFG +∡GFH +∡DFH + ∡EFD = 360°, substitute the given measures

6x+25 +2x+3 + 6x+25 +2x+ 3 = 360 , combine like terms

16x + 56 = 360, subtract 56 from both sides

16x = 304, divide both sides by 16

x = 19

m∡EFG = 6x +25 , substitute x with 19 and calculate

m∡EFG = 6·19 +25

m∡EFG = 139°

m∡ IFH = 90°- m∡GFH, substitute m∡GFH with 2x+3

m∡ IFH = 90°- (2x +3), substitute x with 19

m∡ IFH = 90°- (2·19 +3)

m∡ IFH = 90°- 41

m∡ IFH = 49°

Which set of side lengths forms a right triangle?

a(2 + b(2= c(2

A. 6,8,10

6(2 + 8(2 = 10(2

4 + 16 = 36

20 ≠ 36

Nope.

C. 1,2,3

1(2 + 2(2 = 3(2

2 + 4 = 9

6 ≠ 9

No again!

D. 2,3,4

2(2 + 3(2 = 4(2

4 + 9 = 16

13 ≠ 16

Not this one.

Therefore our answer is A.

Calculatep the perimeter of the figure

Answers

Answer:

76 m

Sorry if this answer is not correct, if it is or is not, please tell me in the comments!

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we know all of the sides already except for two, so we need to find them. (The side on the very left and top).

The side on the very top is 18 since the top and bottom are the same lengths. This also implies to the side on the very left. The sides (4+4+4) is equivalent to the side we are trying to find. We now know it is 12.

Second, to find the perimeter of almost every shape, we add all of the sides together.

18+4+8+4+8+4+18+12

This gives the answer of 76 m. (don't forget the label!)

Let f be the function defined by 1 2 1 1 4 3 2 f x( ) = x − x + x − x 4 3 2 2 . For how many values of x in the open interval (0, 1.565) is the instantaneous rate of change of f equal to the average rate of change of f on the closed interval [0, 1.565] ?

Answers

There are three values of x where the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) are equal in the open and closed intervals

How to determine the number of x values?

The function is given as:

[tex]f(x) = \frac 14x^4 - \frac 23x^3 + \frac 12x^2 - \frac 12x[/tex]

Calculate f(0)

[tex]f(0) = \frac 14 * 0^4 - \frac 23 * 0^3 + \frac 12 *0^2 - \frac 12 * 0[/tex]

[tex]f(0) = 0[/tex]

Calculate f(1.565)

[tex]f(1.565) = \frac 14 * 1.565^4 - \frac 23 * 1.565^3 + \frac 12 *1.565^2 - \frac 12 * 1.565[/tex]

[tex]f(1.565) = -0.613[/tex]

The average rate of change is then calculated using:

[tex]m = \frac{f(1.565) - f(0)}{1.565 - 0}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]m = \frac{-0.613 - 0}{1.565 - 0}[/tex]

[tex]m = -0.392[/tex]

Differentiate the function f(x)

[tex]f'(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + x - \frac 12[/tex]

Set f'(x) to [tex]m = -0.392[/tex]

[tex]x^3 - 2x^2 + x - \frac 12 = -0.392[/tex]

From the graph of the above equation (see attachment), we have three values of x at:

x = 0.1492, x = 0.5614 and x = 1.2894

Hence, there are three values of x in the open interval (0,1.565)
