Jamie kicked a soccer ball that traveled along a path described by the parabola y = -x^2 +8x, where y equals the height of the s

occer ball in feet, and x = the horizontal distance in feet that the ball has traveled from Jamie.  How many feet from Jamie does the soccer ball hit the ground?

Equation of any Parabola is of the form y= ax^{2}+bx+c

If a is negative the parabola opens down.

The given equation of  soccer ball that traveled along a path was y=-x^{2}+8x

Comparing the two equations we have a=-1,b=8

As a is negative the parabola opens down and will have the maximum point at  vertex .

The x of vertex is given by x=\frac{-b}{2a}

Substituting a and b values we have:

x=-\frac{-8}{2x1} =\frac{8}{2}= 4.

The y of vertex is y=(-4)^{2}+8(4) =16

The highest point the soccer ball hit the ground is 16 ft.

Brian spins a fair spinner numbered 1 - 5 and flips a fair coin.
Greeley [361]

Answer:  0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we spin a fair spinner numbered 1 - 5 and flips a fair coin.

Then, the possible outcomes will be :-

(1,T),(2,T), (3,T), (4,T), (5,T)\\\\(1,H),(2,H), (3,H), (4,H), (5,H)

i.e. total 10 possible outcomes.

The favorable outcomes = a 2 and a head  i.e. only 1 .

Now, the probability of obtaining a 2 and a head will be :_

\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1

Hence, the  probability of obtaining a 2 and a head = 0.1

Find the number of subsets for the following set. {3, 4, 5} How many subsets does this set​ have? nothing ​(Type a whole​ number
AlexFokin [52]
8. When you’re making subsets, you have two options for each element in the original set: you can either include it or not. This gives you 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 possible ways you can put a subset together from the three elements in {3, 4, 5}.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

  2) 162°, 72°, 108°

  3) 144°, 54°, 126°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiply the equation by 2sin(θ) to get an equation that looks like ...

   sin(θ) = <some numerical expression>

Use your knowledge of the sines of special angles to find two angles that have this sine value. (The attached table along with the relations discussed below will get you there.)

____

2, 3) You need to review the meaning of "supplement".

It is true that ...

  sin(θ) = sin(θ+360°),

but it is also true that ...

  sin(θ) = sin(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle

This latter relation is the one applicable to this question.

__

Similarly, it is true that ...

  cos(θ) = -cos(θ+180°),

but it is also true that ...

  cos(θ) = -cos(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle

As above, it is this latter relation that applies to problems 2 and 3.

The product of two numbers is −72. One of the factors is −9, what is the other factor?
frez [133]
The other factor is eight because 9 multiplied by eight is 72 and a negative times a positive is a negative
