Jeremy and Arnold are working on a project for math class in which they are to identify the quadratic equation that represents a

rain gauge that sits off the ground. Graph each of the equations and then determine which one could represent the position of the rain catcher that sits above the ground. The x-axis represents the ground.

Answer:

The parabola generated by the expression :

y=x^2-2x+3

is the one that better represents a rain gauge above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function:

a) y=x^2+11x+24

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: below

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

b) y=-x^2-6x-8

Direction of parabola: branches pointing down

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: above

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

c) y=x^2-2x+3  

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: two units above

So, the parabola depicts a rain gauge off the ground

d) y=x^2+4x+4

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: right on the x-axis

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground (this is sitting on the ground)

e) y=3x^2+21x+30

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis:  below

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

4 cm on a map are equal to 6 km in real life. if two points are 16 cm apart on the map, how far apart are they in real life
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

24km

Step-by-step explanation:

16/4 is 4 so you multiply that by 6 and you get 24. the equation is (16/4)*6

A triangle has a 60° angle, and the two adjacent sides are 12 and "12 times the square root of 3". Find the radius of a circle w
shusha [124]

The radius of a circle with the same vertex as a center is 12 units

<h3>Application of Pythagoras theorem;</h3>

To get the radius of the circle, we need to determine the diameter of the circle first:

According to SOH CAH TOA:

sin\theta = \frac{opp}{hyp} \\sin60 = \frac{12\sqrt{3}}{hyp} \\hyp =\frac{12\sqrt{3}}{sin60} \\hyp =\frac{2\times12\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt3}} \\hyp = 24 = diameter

Determine the radius of the circle

Radius = dismeter/2

Radius = 24/2

Radius = 12

Hence the radius of a circle with the same vertex as a center is 12 units
