When you bisect something, you cut it into two equally sized pieces. (from Latin: "bi" = two, "sect" = cut)

Bisecting an interval creates two smaller intervals each with half the length of the original interval. Some examples:

• bisecting [0, 2] gives the intervals [0, 1] and [1, 2]

• bisecting [-1, 1] gives the intervals [-1, 0] and [0, 1]

• bisecting an arbitrary interval $[a,b]$ gives the intervals $\left[a,\frac{a+b}2\right]$ and $\left[\frac{a+b}2,b\right]$

Rosa climbs a 16-meter tower to ride a straight water slide. After landing in the slash pool, she walks 9 meters back to the bas

erastova [34]

Answer:

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right-angled triangle where

The height of tower id perpendicular, the distance between slash pool and base of tower is base and the length of slide will be hypotenuse.

Height of tower = h = 16 meters

Distance between slash pool and base of tower = b = 9 meters

Length of slide = s = ?

As it is a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of slide

Pythagoras theorem states that:

$(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2\\s^2 = b^2+h^2\\s^2 = (9)^2+(16)^2\\s^2 = 81+256\\s^2 = 337\\s^2 = 18.36\ meters$

Hence,

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

The cost, C, to produce b baseball bats per day is modeled by the function C(b) = 0.06b2 – 7.2b + 390. What number of bats shoul

kozerog [31]

Check the picture below, that's just an example of a parabola opening upwards.

so the cost equation C(b), which is a quadratic with a positive leading term's coefficient, has the graph of a parabola like the one in the picture, so the cost goes down and down and down, reaches the vertex or namely the minimum, and then goes back up.

bearing in mind that the quantity will be on the x-axis and the cost amount is over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of the vertex of this parabola? namely, at what cost for how many bats?

$\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ C(b) = \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{0.06}b^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-7.2}b\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+390} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right)$

$\bf \left( -\cfrac{-7.2}{2(0.06)}~~,~~390-\cfrac{(-7.2)^2}{4(0.06)} \right)\implies (60~~,~~390-216) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (\stackrel{\textit{number of bats}}{60}~~,~~\stackrel{\textit{total cost}}{174})~\hfill$
