The height is 9.875 feet from which the goalkeeper catches the ball.

The player kicks soccer from a height of 2 feet

x = 0 and y = 2

Maximum height of 20 feet after traveling 40 feet

x = 40, y = 20

So let y = a(x - 40)² + 20  ( the path of parabola)

Since x = 0 , y = 2

So, 2 = a(0 - 40)² + 20

2 = 1600a + 20

-18 = 1600a

a = - 9/800

Thus, y = -9/800(x - 40)² + 20

Since the soccer is caught by the goalkeeper 70 feet from where it was kicked

x = 70

So at this time,

y = -9/800 ( 70 - 40)² + 20

  = -9/800 × 900 + 20

  = - 81/8 + 20

  = 79/ 8

  = 9.875 feet

Therefore the height at which the goalkeeper catches the ball is 9.875 feet.

Answer:

y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's make an equation. We know that when y is 15, x is 3. Or, in other words, y is 5 times what x is. Therefore we can use the equation, y = 5x.

Now, just plug x into the equation.

y = 5(10)

y = 50

Dalia saved $3000 last year. She said $600 in the month of January. What percent of the total amount of money she saved last yea
Anni [7]
1. We assume, that the number 3000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. 
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 100% equals 3000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x% equals 600 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=600. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000
2) x%=600
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=3000/600
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 600 is what percent of 3000

100%/x%=3000/600
<span>(100/x)*x=(3000/600)*x       - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>100=5*x       - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x
<span>100/5=x </span>
<span>20=x </span>
<span>x=20
So 600 is 20% of 3000</span>
