The path of a football can be modelled by the equation, h=-10d2+120d , where h represents the height, in metres, of the football

above the ground and d represents the horizontal distance, in metres, of the football from the player. At what horizontal distance does the football land?

Answer:

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The path of a football has been modeled by the equation:

$h= -10d^2+120d$

where h represents the height and d represents the horizontal distance.

When the ball lands, it means that its height is back at 0 metres. This means that we have to find horizontal distance, d, when height, h, is 0.

=> $0= -10d^2+120d$

$=> 10d^2 - 120d = 0$

$d(10d - 120) = 0$

∴ d = 0 m

and

10d - 120 = 0

=> d = 120 / 10 = 12 m

There are two solutions for d when h = 0 m.

The first solution (d = 0 m) is a case where the ball has not been thrown at all. This means the ball has not moved away from the football player and it is still on the ground.

The second solution is the answer to our problem (d = 12 m). The ball lands at a horizontal distance of 12 m

Answer:

The coordinates of B' and C' are $B'(x,y) = (4, -7)$ and $C'(x,y) = (-1, -8)$ , respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Linear Algebra, we define the translation of a given point as:

$O'(x,y) = O(x,y) + T(x,y)$ (1)

Where:

$O(x,y)$ - Original point, dimensionless.

$T(x,y)$ - Translation vector, dimensionless.

$O'(x,y)$ - Translated point, dimensionless.

If we know that $A'(x,y) = (1, -5)$ and $A(x,y) = (4,-2)$ , then the translation vector is:

$T(x,y) = A'(x,y)-A(x,y)$ (2)

$T(x,y) = (1,-5)-(4,-2)$

$T(x,y) = (-3,-3)$

If we know that $B(x,y) = (7,-4)$ , $C(x,y) = (2,-5)$ and $T(x,y) = (-3,-3)$ , then the translated points are, respectively:

$B'(x,y) = B(x,y)+T(x,y)$ (3)

$B'(x,y) = (7,-4) +(-3,-3)$

$B'(x,y) = (4, -7)$

$C'(x,y) = C(x,y) +T(x,y)$

$C'(x,y) = (2,-5) + (-3,-3)$

$C'(x,y) = (-1, -8)$

The coordinates of B' and C' are $B'(x,y) = (4, -7)$ and $C'(x,y) = (-1, -8)$ , respectively.

Express 192 as a prime factors in order

iVinArrow [24]

You can write this two ways - as a list of prime factors, or combine like factors and represent their quantity with an exponent.
If you begin by dividing by two, you can do that six times, with a three as the remaining prime factor.
