When Evil Kenevil was a kid, he decided to attempt to jump a distance of 30 yards using ramps that extended 9 yards high for tak

e off and landing with his motorcycle.
As the figure below illustrates, at zero yards from the take off ramp, he was 9 yards high. At 8 yards from the ramp, he was 17 yards high, and at 18 yards from the ramp, he was 18 yards high.



Since there are no rockets or wings affecting Evil’s flight, he should closely follow a parabolic path that can be modeled by a quadratic equation:
y=ax^2+bx+c, where y is the height of Evil’s bike, and x is the horizontal distance he has traveled.





1.) Using the three data points (x, y) that we know Evil passed through and the general quadratic equation, create three corresponding equations:

Equation 1: (5 pts.)


Equation 2: (5 pts.)


Equation 3: (5 pts.)


2.) Solve your system of equations from above for a, b, and c.

a = (10 pts.)


b = (10 pts.)


c = (10 pts.)


3.) Using your values of a, b, and c, what is the quadratic equation that models Evil’s jump?

Quadratic Equation: (10 pts.)


4.) What is the maximum height for Evil during this jump? (15 pts.)





5.) What is Evil’s height when he gets to the landing ramp? Is this a successful stunt? (15 pts.)




6.) Evil was at a height of 17 yards when he was 8 yards out. Where else was he at a height of 17 yards?

A certain shampoo is available in two sizes. A 13.5 ounces bottle cost $2.98. A 29.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12. Find the Unit pric
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

9.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12 is better buy with unit price of $0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit price of any product is given by

unit price = weight of product/ price of product

Given sizes

A

13.5 ounces bottle cost $2.98

cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size = cost price/weight of shampoo

 cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size =2.98/13.5 = $0.22

Unit price for this size is $.022

B

9.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12

cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size = cost price/weight of shampoo

 cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size =6.12/9.2 = 0.66

Unit price for this size is $0.66

As $0.22 is less than $0.66 thus,

9.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12 is better buy.

What is the value of x
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

with reference angle 45°

hypotenuse (h) = x

perpendicular (p) = 6√2

Now

with reference angle 45°

sin 45° = p / h

1 / √2 = 6√2 / x

Cross multiply ✖

6√2 * √2 = x

x = 6 * 2

x = 12
