Write the equations of three distinct lines that have the same y-intercept,-1.

1 answer:

7 0

Three possible answers are:
y = 2x-1
y = 5x-1
y = -3x-1

All of them have the same y intercept of -1. The slopes are the only thing that differ.

Any linear equation can be written in the form y = mx+b where
m = slope
b = y intercept

In a video game, a bird is flung on a sling shot and follows a parabolic path. The path of the bird can be modeled by the equati

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h=-16t^2+55t+4$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

where

h is the height of the bird

t is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird had been in the air

For h=40 ft

substitute in the quadratic equation

$40=-16t^2+55t+4$

$-16t^2+55t+4-40=0$

$-16t^2+55t-36=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+55t-36=0$

$a=-16\\b=55\\c=-36$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{55^{2}-4(-16)(-36)}} {2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{721}} {-32}$

$x=\frac{-55+\sqrt{721}} {-32}=0.88\ sec$

$x=\frac{-55-\sqrt{721}} {-32}=2.56\ sec$

therefore

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

Each lenght is in metres Calculate DC

Gnom [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

ED is greater than BC

the line from B to ED ^ (which i drew ) the point it touches ED name it X. so EX will be 2 ( ED-BC)(6-4).

then u have a triangle. EX, XB and EB.

you have length of EX(2) and u have hypotenuse. so u can calculate XB using Pythagoras theorem.

15.1²=2²+XB²

15.1²-2²=XB²

224.01=XB²

XB=14.97

since XB and DC are parallel ( a rectangle is forming XBCD) so DC is also 14.97

How do i show my working when trying to work out 3 1/3 divided by 4?

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing fractions, we use a rule where we keep the first number, change the sign, and flip the second number.

3 1/3 must be converted to an improper fraction before we can do this, though.

3 1/3 is 10/3 because we multiply 3 by the denominator, also 3, and then add one, so 10/3.

Now we can divide. Remember 4 is the same thing as 4/1

10/3 ÷ 4/1

Keep the first fraction the same, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, and divide by flip the second fraction.

It ends up looking like 10/3 x 1/4

Multiply: 10 x 1 and 3 x 4

It's 10/12, but we can simplify that by dividing both the top and the bottom by 2.

The final answer is 5/6
