Given:
The height of a basketball is given by the function:
[tex]h(x)=-0.5x^2+3x+6[/tex]
where x is the horizontal distance from where it is thrown.
To find:
How far away from the basket should the player stand in order for the ball to go in the basket (10 feet high) on its way down.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]h(x)=-0.5x^2+3x+6[/tex]
Putting [tex]h(x)=10[/tex], we get
[tex]10=-0.5x^2+3x+6[/tex]
[tex]10+\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-3x-6=0[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-3x+4=0[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2.
[tex]x^2-6x+8=0[/tex]
Splitting the middle term, we get
[tex]x^2-4x-2x+8=0[/tex]
[tex]x(x-4)-2(x-4)=0[/tex]
[tex](x-2)(x-4)=0[/tex]
[tex]x=2,4[/tex]
In the given function the leading coefficient is negative, so the given function represents a downward parabola. It means, first the function is increasing after that the function is decreasing.
So, the value of the function is 10 at [tex]x=2[/tex] (its way up) and at [tex]x=4[/tex] (its way down.
Therefore, the player should stand 4 units away from the basket in order for the ball to go in the basket (10 feet high) on its way down.
The area under the standard normal curve to the right of z = -0.51 is 0.6950. What is the area to the left of z = 0.51?
Answer:
0.305
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that area under the standard normal curve to the right of z = -0.51 is 0.6950
Thus, to get the area to the left, we just subtract 0.6950 from 1.
Thus;
area to the left of z = 0.51 is;
P( z < 0.51) = 1 - 0.6950 = 0.305

Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle JKLM. AB = 12, BC = 8, CD = 12, DA = 8, and JK = 15. What is the scale factor from JKLM to ABCD? Reduce all answers.
Answer:
4/5 or 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
this problem description is not very precise. it leaves out the definition what corners or sides of JKLM correspond to corners and sides of ABCD.
I assume J and K correlate to A and B, and JK is a long side of JKLM.
so, we are going from JKLM to ABCD.
that means we are going from larger to smaller (as JK = 15 and therefore larger than AB = 12).
what is the scale factor to go from 15 to 12 ?
15 × x = 12
x = 12/15 = 4/5 or 0.8
the legs of a 45 45 90 triangle have a length of 8 units what is the length of the hypotenous
Answer:
11.31 units
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 8^2 = c^2
64 + 64 = c^2
128 = c^2
Opposite of exponents is square roots, and we need to get rid of that exponent in c^2, meaning we find the square root.
[tex]\sqrt{128\\} \\\\[/tex] = c
c = 11.31 units
Abby made the following conjecture: The sum of a multiple of 7 and a multiple of 8 will be an
odd number. Do you agree or disagree? Briefly justify your decision with a counterexample if
possible.
Answer:
Disagree. As long as the odd number (7) is multiplied by an even number, the sum of multiples of an odd and even number in general will add to be even.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume you have a=7 and b=8.
Now there are 4 combinations since there are only two types of numbers: even and odd.
Combination 1 would consist of an ODD amount of multiples of a, and and ODD amount of multiples of b.
See: 3a + 3b
3(7) + 3(8) = 45
*Combination 2 would be an EVEN amount of a and an EVEN amount of b.
2a + 2b
14 + 16 = 30
HERE, in combination 2, the claim is already debunked.
Combination 3 is an ODD amount of a and an EVEN amount of b
1a + 2b
7 + 16 = 21
*Combination 4 is an EVEN amount of a and an ODD amount of b
2a + 1b
14 + 8 = 24
HERE, in combination 4, the claim is justified again

Answer:
A = 2, B = 1, C = 28Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope of the line AB.
The slope:
m = (11 - 9)/(11 - 7) = 2/4 = 1/2Since the altitude is perpendicular to AB, it has a slope of -2.
The line with the slope of -2 and passes through point C(6, 16).
Use point-slope equation to find the line:
y - 16 = -2(x - 6)y - 16 = -2x + 12y + 2x = 16 + 122x + y = 28A = 2, B = 1, C = 28
Answer:
Solution given:
A(7,9)
B(11,11)
C(6,16)
Slope of AB=[tex]\frac{11-9}{11-7}=\frac{2}{4}=½[/tex]
since altitude is perpendicular to it .
so its slope becomes negative reciprocal to the slope of base
so
slope of altitude(m) =-2
now
equation of a line passing through C(6,16) perpendicular to its base is:
By using formula
[tex]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})[/tex]
y-16=-2(x-6)
solve it
y-16=-2x+12
y+2x=12+16
in the form of Ax +By=C is:
2x+y=28
:.
A=2B=1
C=28

Joanna bakes a cake in the shape of a
cylinder. The cake is 10 inches in
diameter and 4.5 inches tall. She
wants to put frosting on the entire
cake that is not resting on the tray.
How many square inches of frosting
will she need?
The cake has a cylindrical format, and the outside of the cake will be frosted, which means that the total surface area has to be found, and doing this, we find that she will need 298.5 square inches of frosting.
Surface area of a cylinder:
The surface area of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:
[tex]S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh[/tex]
The cake is 10 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches tall.
Radius is half the diameter, so [tex]r = \frac{10}{2} = 5[/tex].
The height is [tex]h = 4.5[/tex].
How many square inches of frosting will she need?
This is the surface area, so:
[tex]S = 2\pi(5)^2 + 2\pi(5)(4.5) = 50\pi + 45\pi = 95\pi = 298.5[/tex]
She will need 298.5 square inches of frosting.
A similar problem can be found at https://brainly.com/question/24332238
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we need the formula of a cylinder which is: 2[tex]\pi[/tex]rh + 2[tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex]
BUT also remember we are solving for one base since we do not count the bottom of the tray. That formula would look like this: 2[tex]\pi[/tex]rh + [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex] since we are using 1 base instead of 2.
Now input the missing values into the formula and solve:

A = 36 pi m^2
The graph shows the function f(x) = 2*
What is the value of x when f(x) = 8?
Ay
10-
A. 3
B. 2
C. 0
D. 1
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Equate f(x) to 8 , that is
[tex]2^{x}[/tex] = 8 = 2³
Since bases on both sides are equal, both 2, then equate exponents
x = 3
The value of the x when the exponential function shown in the graph f(x) = 2ˣ is 8 is when x = 3, which is option A.
Here, given the graph of the function,
f(x) = 2ˣ
We have to find the value of x when f(x) = 8.
In order to find the value of x, when f(x) = 8, we have to write as,
f(x) = 8
2ˣ = 8
Now write 8 as an exponent with base 2.
2ˣ = 2³
Hence the value of x = 3

A recipe for eight flapjacks needs 2oz of butter, 3oz of sugar, and 4 oz of rolled oats. How many flapjacks can I make if I have 14 oz of butter, 15 oz of sugar, and 16 oz of rolled oats?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Eight flapjacks
2oz of butter
3oz of sugar
4 oz of rolled oats.
Each flapjack
Butter = 2/8 = 1/4 oz
Sugar = 3/8 oz
Rolled oats = 4/8 = 1/2 oz
How many flapjacks can I make if I have
14 oz of butter,
15 oz of sugar, and
16 oz of rolled oats?
Butter
= 14 oz ÷ 1/8 oz
= 14 × 8/1
= 112 flapjack
Sugar
= 15 oz ÷ 3/8 oz
= 15 × 8/3
= 120/3
= 40 flapjacks
Rolled oats
16 oz ÷ 1/2 oz
= 16 × 2/1
= 32 flapjack
Therefore,
Considering the quantity of rolled oats available, the number of flapjacks that could be made is 32

find H.C.F OF 4x²y and xy²
Answer:
xy
Step-by-step explanation:
The HCF is known as the highest common factor. To find the HCF of two values, we have to take the greatest number that fits into all of their factors.
To start, we can list each value's factors.
For 4x²y, this can also be written as 4*x²*y = 4*x*x*y. In multiplication, we can take the factors of each value that is multiplied. Therefore, we can start with the factors of 4 and then go to the factors of x² and so on. Our factor list is thus 1,2,4,x,x²,y
Similarly, for xy² = x*y*y, our factors are x, y, and y²
The common factors for each of these are x and y. Assuming all values are positive and greater than 1, the x*y will be greater than either x or y. Therefore, the highest common factor would be x*y = xy
the ordered pairs model an exponential function, where w is the function name and t is the input variable.
{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)}
what is the function equation in sequence notation?
wt = ____
Answer:
w = 15 (4^t)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w be what the function is equal to
Let t be the input variable
equation :
w = k a^t
Plug in any two of the points to solve for k and a
for example, let's take (1, 60) and (2, 240):
60 = k * a^1
k = 60 / a
240 = k a^2
Substituting:
240 = 60/a (a^2)
a = 4
k = 15
The function is
w = 15 (4^t)
