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

Find the approximate length of segment AC. Math item stem image CLEAR CHECK 5.74 units 8.06 units 11 units 65 units
laiz [17]

Answer:

         \large\boxed{\large\boxed{8.06units}}

Explanation:

The figure is a right triangle with:

  • hypotenuse = segment AC
  • vertical leg = 7 units
  • horizontal leg = 4 units

Hence, you must use Pythagora's theorem, which is valid for all right triangles:

             hypotenuse^2=(leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2

Substituting the data:

        hypotenuse^2=(7unit)^2+(4unit)^2=49unit^2+16unit^2=65unit^2

Square root both sides:

         hypotenuse=\sqrt{65unit^2}=8.06unit

A mini-golf course is determining the par score for each of its holes. The dot plot shows the number of strokes required to plac
Julli [10]

The mean is the unit of center that may be used to predict how many strokes will be needed to complete the ninth hole.

The data is almost symmetrical, making the mean the best option.

What is symmetrical data?

  • Asymmetric communications refers to any system where, when averaged over time, the data speed or amount is different in one direction from the other.
  • Asymmetry is defined as the lack of precise similarity between two pieces.
  • A fiddler crab's body is asymmetrical, as evidenced by the fact that one of its claws is larger than the other.
  • Absence of a standard unit of measurement between two things or amounts; incomprehensibility.

So the more about symmetrical visit.

A kitchen sink has a volume of 1800 cubic inches.What is the volume of a similar sink that is larger by a scale factor of 2
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

14400 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l, b and h are length, breadth and height of a cuboid respectively, then

V=l\times b\times h

If another cuboid is larger by a scale factor of k, then kl, kb and kh are length, breadth and height of new cuboid respectively.

V_1=kl\times kb\times kh

V_1=k^3(l\times b\times h)

V_1=k^3V       ...(i)

It is given that a kitchen sink has a volume of 1800 cubic inches and a similar sink is larger by a scale factor of 2.

Substitute k=2 and V=1800 in equation (i).

V_1=2^3(1800)

V_1=14400

Therefore, the volume of required sink is 14400 cubic inches.
