A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the
time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the
time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.
y = -16x^2+ 181x + 59

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rocket will hit the ground after about 11.63 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rocket is launched from a tower. Its height y in feet after x seconds is modeled by the equation:

[tex]y=-16x^2+181x+59[/tex]

We want to determine the time at which the rocket will hit the ground.

If it hits the ground, its height y above the ground will be 0. So, we can set y = 0 and solve for x:

[tex]0=-16x^2+181x+59[/tex]

Solve the quadratic. Factoring is too tedious or impossible, and completing the square is also very tedious. So, we can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = -16, b = 181, and c = 59. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(181)\pm\sqrt{(181)^2-4(-16)(59)}}{2(-16)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-181\pm\sqrt{36537}}{-32}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{181\pm\sqrt{36537}}{32}[/tex]

Hence, our solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{181+\sqrt{36537}}{32}\approx 11.63\text{ or } x=\frac{181-\sqrt{36537}}{32}\approx-0.32[/tex]

Since time cannot be negative, we can ignore the second solution.

So, the rocket will hit the ground after about 11.63 seconds.

Required

The area

The corner shelf is a quadrant with radius;

[tex]r = 8.5in[/tex]

The area of a quadrant is:

[tex]Area = \frac{\pi r^2}{4}[/tex]

So, the area of the corner shelf is:

[tex]Area = \frac{\pi * 8.5^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{\pi * 72.25}{4}[/tex]

Which functions graph has a period of 8 and reaches a maximum height of 1 if at least one full period is graphed

Answers

Answer: y= -4cos (pi/4x)-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions graph that has a period of 8 and reaches a maximum height of 1 if at least one full period is graphed is; y = -4cos(¹/₄πx) - 3

What is the equation of the graph?

The general equation of this is;

y = A cos bx

We are told that the period of the graph is 8

We know that 2π/b = period

Thus;

2π/b = 8

b = ¹/₄π

We are told that the maximum height is 1 if at least one full period is graphed. Thus, amplitude = 4

Thus the required equation is y = -4cos(¹/₄πx) - 3

Categorical data have values that are described by words rather than numbers. All listed statements are true The number of checks processed at a bank in a day is categorical data.

Answers

Answer:

The number of checks processed at a bank in a day is categorical data.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics, a categorical data can be defined as a statistical data type that is used to group informations having the same attributes or characteristics. Some examples of a categorical data are age, gender, race, religion etc.

A numerical data can be defined as a data set that is expressed in numbers only or a data set consisting of numbers rather than words. A numerical data is also known as a quantitative data.

Basically, numerical data are classified into two (2) main categories and these are;

1. Discrete data: a discrete data is a data set in which the number of possible values are either finite or countable. For instance, the value of a fair die, number of sweets in a jar, number of eggs in a crate etc.

2. Continuous data: a continuous data is a data set having infinitely many possible values and those values cannot be counted, meaning they are uncountable. Any quantity such as height, volume, weight, density, length, pressure, temperature, speed, distance, time are generally a continuous data.

Hence, the number of checks processed at a bank in a day is discrete data.

Answers

Answer:

a. Percent error = 12.5%

b. Percent error = 20%

c. Product = 250

d. Area of rectangle = 200 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Actual length = 40cm

Experimental length = 35cm

Actual breadth = 50cm

Experimental breadth = 60cm

To find the following values;

a. Percentage error in length;

Percent error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.

Mathematically, it is given by this expression;

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {experimental \;value - actual \; value}{ actual \;value} *100[/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {35 - 40}{40} *100[/tex]

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {5}{40} *100[/tex]

[tex] Percent \; error = 0.125 *100[/tex]

Percent error = 12.5%

b. Percentage error in breadth;

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {60 - 50}{50} *100[/tex]

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {10}{50} *100[/tex]

[tex] Percent \; error = 0.2 *100[/tex]

Percent error = 20%

c. Product of the error;

Product = 12.5 * 20

Product = 250

d. Area of the table top;

Dimensions = 50 * 40 cm

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

Area of rectangle = 40 * 50

Area of rectangle = 200 cm²

Which equation represents a linear function x=-5, y=3x4+7, x2-1=y, y=15x+10

Answers

Answer:

y=15x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) which signifies a linear function. Also, linear functions include x to the first degree and no larger. Anything larger than that would be a polynomial.

It is not x=-5 because that would be a straight vertical line.

It is not the second or third equations because x is being raised to the 4th and 2nd powers resulting in polynomial functions.

A nutritionist wants to estimate the average caloric content of the burritos at a popular restaurant. They obtain a random sample of 16 burritos and measure their caloric content. The sample mean and sample standard deviation of measured caloric contents of the 16 burritos are 700 calories and 50 calories, respectively. Suppose the caloric content of burritos is normally distributed. Based on the sample, which of the following is a 95% upper confidence bound for the mean caloric content of these burritos?
A. μ≤700+ t 0.05, 15x50/4
B. μ≤700+ t 0.025, 16x50/4
C. μ≤700+ t 0.025, 15x50/4
D. μ≤700+ z 0.05 x50/4

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mu \leq 700 + t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{4}[/tex], option c

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 16 - 1 = 15

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 15 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and an [tex]\alpha[/tex] level of [tex]\frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex], thus, we have [tex]t_{(0.025,15)}[/tex]

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. For this question, we have [tex]s = 50,n = 16[/tex]. So

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{\sqrt{16}}[/tex]

[tex]M = t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{4}[/tex]

Upper bound:

The upper bound is less than the sample mean of 700 added to the margin of error of M. Thus

[tex]\mu \leq 700 + t_{(0.025,15)}\frac{50}{4}[/tex]

And the correct answer is given by option c.

Answers

Background:

So with sine cosine and tangent, try remembering the following:

Sin : Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cos: Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tan: Opposite / Adjacent

Or just remember "Soh-cah-toa".

Thinking Process:

Anyways, with this, its asking for the sine ratio of angle Z. So we need the opposite side length and the hypotenuse side length

For the opposite side length, look to see where the angle is "opening" up towards, like a door that is opening. With this, Angle Z is opening up towards the Side XY, which has a length of 21.

To find the hypotenuse, it is always the largest side length of a right triangle. It is also where the right angle opens up it's "door" up to. This would be Side XZ, which has a length of 29.

Answer:

With both of these, back to the ratio formula:

Sin : Opposite / Hypotenuse

To finish the question, simply plug in the values that were found above.

This will give you:

Sin Z : 21 / 29

This will be Choice A.
