The function f(x) = −x2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), in

feet, and the horizontal distance x, in feet, of a diver from the diving board. What is a zero of f(x), and what does it represent? x = 5; the diver jumps in the pool at 5 feet per second. x = 10; the diver jumps in the pool at 10 feet per second. x = 10; the diver hits the water 10 feet horizontally from the board x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board

Given the function:
f(x)=-x^2-5x+50
the zeros of the function will be obtained by factorizing the expression.
f(x)=-x^2-5x+50
f(x)=-(x^2+5x-50)
f(x)=-(x-5)(x+10)
the zeros  are:
x=-10
x=5
hence taking the positive value for distance, we take x=5.
This represents the horizontal distance the diver jumped. Thus the correct answer is:

<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board

Choose the most accurate statement based on the graph shown.
Eddi Din [679]
The most accurate would be the second statement: <span>The graph is misleading because it uses 3-dimensional bars.

The vertical range is just enough. It only appears small because the bars are in 3D. It should have been in 2D so that we could directly trace it to how much frequency each category is. Even the axes are in 3D also.</span>

The measure of angle t is 60 degrees. What is the x-coordinate of the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2},

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attached image of unit circle.

We have been given that the measure of angle t is 60 degrees. We are asked to find the x-coordinate of the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle.

We know that x-coordinate on unit circle represents cosine and y-coordinate represents sine of a given angle.

We can see from our attachment that x-coordinate of the point at angle 60 degrees is \frac{1}{2}, therefore, x-coordinate of the angle of 60 degrees, where the terminal side intersects the unit circle is \frac{1}{2}.

How to graph 9x+5y=-45
lilavasa [31]
9x +5y= -45 put in standard form y= mx+b coefficient of x is the slope, b is the y intercpept 5y= -9x -45 y= -9/5 x -45 graphing will start at -45 on the y axis from that point go down 9 to the right 5 for the slope continue and graph minimum 2 points to draw the line hope this helps
