The equation for the path of the ball can be measured using a regression model calculator which produced the quadratic model ;

  • y(x) = - 16x² + 36x + 4
  • Height at x = 1.7 = 18.89 feets

<u>The table given</u> :

Time, x : __0.5 ___ 1 ____ 1.5 ____ 2

Height, y _ 18 ____22 ___ 24 ____ 12

<u>Using </u><u>technology</u><u> such as a </u><u>quadratic regression</u><u> calculator or </u><u>excel</u> ;

The quadratic regression model obtained is :

  • y(x) = - 16x² + 36x + 4

<u>The </u><u>height after, 1.7 seconds</u><u>, x = 1.7 can be calculated thus</u> :

Put x = 1.7 in the equation :

  • y(1.7) = - 16(1.7)² + 36(1.7) + 4
  • y = 18.89 feets

Therefore, the height of the baseball after 1.7 seconds will be 18.89 feets.

a pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with side length of 4 and a slant height of 6. what is the total area of the pyramid
Stels [109]
So hmm notice the picture below

the pyramid itself, is really, just one regular hexagon, at the bottom
and 6 triangles, stacked up at each other at the edges

now, if you just get the area of the regular hexagon, and the 6 triangles, add them up, that'd be the total surface area of the pyramid then
\bf \textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\&#10;A=\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot  n\cdot  s^2\cdot  cot\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=\textit{number of sides}\\&#10;s=\textit{length of a side}\\&#10;\frac{180}{n}=\textit{angle in degrees}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;n=6\\&#10;s=4&#10;\end{cases}\\\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot  6\cdot  4^2\cdot  cot\left( \frac{180}{6} \right)

now, for the triangles, well, area of a triangle is 1/2 bh, as you'd know, and you have both

What is the slope of the following graph? Plzz help &lt;3
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution comes rom the formula for finding the slope of a graph: Rise/Run

In this case, the rise would be -2, because it is going down the graph 2 points. The run would be 5, because it is going to the right 5 points. Hopefully this will help you in the future.
