Two skaters are practicing at the same time on the same rink. A coordinate grid is superimposed on the ice. One skater follows t

he path y = −2x + 32, while the other skater follows the curve y = −2x2 + 18x. Find all points where they might collide if they are not careful.

Answer:

The skaters will collide at the points;

(2,28) and (4,24)

Step-by-step explanation:

The points they might collide will be the points when both y are equal;

-2x + 32 = -2x^2 + 18x

2x^2 -18x -2x + 32 = 0

2x^2 -20x + 32 = 0

2x^2 - 16x - 4x + 32 = 0

2x(x -8) -4( x -8) = 0

(2x -4)(x -8) = 0

2x = 4 or x = 8

x = 4/2 or x = 8

hence; x = 2 or 8

Now let’s get the y value

at x = 2, just substitute into any of the 2

y = -2x + 32

y = -2(2) + 32

y = -4 + 32 = 28

at x = 4

y = -2(4) + 32

y = -8 + 32

y = 24

The points that they will collide are;

(2,28) and (4,24)

Which can be used to expand the expression below?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

5(3x - 6/7)

Distributive Property would work because 5 has to be mutliplied by 3x and -6/7 to rid the parenthesis and also give a final answer for the equation. Any others will lead to a wrong answer.

How to find the gradient of line segment joining each pair of points?
yarga [219]

Answer:

2

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A(xA, yA) = A (3,1)

B(xB,yB)=B(5,5)

the gradient=(yB-yA)/ (xB-xA)=(5-1)/(5-3)=4/2=2

C(4,7),D(10,9)

the gradient=(yD-yC)/(xD-xC)=(9-7)/(10-4)=2/6=1/3

Please answer Ill give 5 stars to right answers: a neighbors dog barked at tana the last 4 out of 5 times she walked by their ho
oksian1 [2.3K]
Ratio of dog bark is 4:5

Multiply that by 20 each side

Ratio is now 80:100

So 80%

If they walk past 45 time you just have to multiply the ratio 4:5 by 9

36:45

So the dog would bark 36 times

Determine the graph of the sinusoid with amplitude of 4 and period of 2π/3
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Option b.

y = 4 sin (3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

To quickly solve this problem, we can use a graphing tool or a calculator to plot the equation.

Please see the attached image below, to find more information about the graph

The period is  

T = 2π/3

This means the frequency in radians is

W = 2π/T = 3

The equation is either:

y = 4 cos(3x)

y = 4 sin (3x)

The correct answer is

Option b.

y = 4 sin (3x)
