During a pumpkin launching contest, two pumpkins are launched at the same time. The path of pumpkin A is modeled by the equation

h(x) = –0.01x2 + 0.32x + 4. The path of pumpkin B is modeled by the equation h(x) = –0.01x2 + 0.18x + 5. If x represents the distance the pumpkin traveled and h(x) represents height, what does the intersection point of the equations represent?
a)The height at which the pumpkins reach the greatest distance.
b)The distance at which the pumpkins both hit the ground.
c)The starting height at which the pumpkins are launched.
d)The distance at which the height of the pumpkins are the same.

Hello,

A)
h max
A:-2x/100+32/100=0==>x=16
B:-2x/100+18/100=0==>x=9

B)
y=0
A:-x²+32x+400=0==>x=41.612496... or x=-9.61... exclude
B:-x²+18x+500=0  ==> x=28.1039415...or x=-15.1039.. exclude

C)
x=0
A:y=4
B:y=5

D)-x²/100+32/100x+4=-x²/100+18/100x+5
==>14/100*x=1 ==>x=50/7=7.1428....

Answer:

33°

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(x) = 21/25

cos^{-1}(21/25) ≈ 32.86°

to the nearest whole number, that would be ≈ 33°

The breakdown of a sample of a chemical compound is represented by the function p(t) = 500 (0.25)^t, where p(t) represents the n
ludmilkaskok [199]

Given:

The function is:

p(t)=500(0.25)^t

Where p(t) represents the number of milligrams of the substance and t represents the time.

To find:

The correct explanation for the number 0.25 and 500 in the given function.

Solution:

The general exponential function is:

y=ab^x           ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay factor. If 0, then decay factor and if b>1, then growth factor.

We have,

p(t)=500(0.25)^t           ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

a=500, it means initial there are 500 milligrams of the substance.

b=0.25, this value is less than 1, it means the substance is decreasing by a factor of 0.25.

Therefore, 0.25 means the substance is decreasing by a factor of 0.25 and 500 means the initial value of substance is 500 milligram.

A normal distribution has a mean of μ = 100 with LaTeX: \sigmaσ = 20. If one score is randomly selected from this distribution,
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

P(100

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(0

And in order to find these probabilities we can using tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(0

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(100,20)  

Where \mu=100 and \sigma=20

We are interested on this probability

P(100

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(100

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(0

And in order to find these probabilities we can using tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(0
