Performance task: A parade route must start And and at the intersections shown on the map. The city requires that the total dist

ance of the route cannot exceed 3 miles. A propos route is shown.
Part A: Why does the proposed route not meet the requirement?

Part B: Assuming that the roads used for the
route are the same and the end point is the same,
at what intersection could the parade start so the
total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible?

Part C: The city wants to station video cameras halfway down each road in the parade. Using your answer to Part B, what are the coordinates of locations for the cameras?

Answer:

Part A: The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B: For the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible, the start point of the parade should be at the point on Broadway with coordinates (9.941, 4.970)

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue; (4, 2)

For Broadway; (7.97, 2.49)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The length of the given route can be found using the equation for the distance, l, between coordinate points as follows;

l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Where for the Broadway potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (12, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, 0)

l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -3\right )^{2}+\left (6-12 \right )^{2}} = 3 \cdot \sqrt{5}

For the Central Avenue potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 0)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 4)

l_2 = \sqrt{\left (4 -0\right )^{2}+\left (2-6 \right )^{2}} = 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}

Therefore, the total length of the parade route =-3·√5 + 4·√2 = 12.265 unit

The scale of the drawing is 1 unit = 0.25 miles

Therefore;

The actual length of the initial parade =0.25×12.265 unit = 3.09 miles

The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B:

For an actual length of 3 miles, the length on the scale drawing should be given as follows;

1 unit = 0.25 miles

0.25 miles = 1 unit

1 mile =  1 unit/(0.25) = 4 units

3 miles = 3 × 4 units = 12 units

With the same end point and route, we have;

l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -y\right )^{2}+\left (6-x \right )^{2}} = 12 - 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}

y² + (6 - x)² = 176 - 96·√2

y² = 176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)²............(1)

Also, the gradient of l₁ = (3 - 0)/(12 - 6) = 1/2

Which gives;

y/x = 1/2

y = x/2 ..............................(2)

Equating equation (1) to (2) gives;

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² = (x/2)²

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² - (x/2)²= 0

176 - 96·√2 - (1.25·x²- 12·x+36) = 0

Solving using a graphing calculator, gives;

(x - 9.941)(x + 0.341) = 0

Therefore;

x ≈ 9.941 or x = -0.341

Since l₁ is required to be 12 - 4·√2, we have and positive, we have;

x ≈ 9.941 and y = x/2 ≈ 9.941/2 = 4.97

Therefore, the start point of the parade should be the point (9.941, 4.970) on Broadway so that the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue;

Camera location = ((6 + 2)/2, (4 + 0)/2) = (4, 2)

For Broadway;

Camera location = ((6 + 9.941)/2, (0 + 4.970)/2) = (7.97, 2.49).

The graph of the function showing the path of a soccer ball thrown by a goalie in a video game, f(x) = –0.05x2 + 2.5x + 5.2, is
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=-0.05x^2+2.5x+5.2

Where f(x) is height of the ball and x is the distance.

It is a polynomial function with degree 2. All polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers, therefore the mathematical domain of the function is all real numbers.

-\infty

Factorize the given function.

f(x)=-0.05(x^2-50x-104)

f(x)=-0.05(x^2-50x-104)

f(x)=-0.05(x^2-52x+2x-104)

f(x)=-0.05(x(x-52)+2(x-52))

f(x) = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)

Put f(x)=0 to find the x intercepts.

0 = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)

Equate each factor equal to 0.

x=52,-2

Therefore at x=52 and -2, the graph of f(x) intersects x-axis. Before x=-2 and after x=52 the values of f(x) is negative. Height cannot be negative, therefore reasonable domain is lie between -2 to 52.

Distance cannot be negative, therefore the reasonable domain must be positive.

0\leq x\leq 52

Therefore the reasonable domain is 0\leq x\leq 52 and option 4 is correct.

If I buy 3 4/5kg of cherries and 2 1/4 of strawberry's what is the Mass kilograms of fruit
lisov135 [29]
If you would like to know how many kilograms of fruit do you have, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 4/5 kg of cherries + 2 1/4 kg of strawberries = 3 4/5 + 2 1/4 = 19/5 + 9/4 = 76/20 + 45/20 = (76 + 45) / 20 = 121/20 = 6 1/20 kg of fruit

The correct result would be 6 1/20 kilograms of fruit.

What is the result of a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin of the line 2y + 3x=10?? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEE
maks197457 [2]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

2y+3x=10

The line is dilated by factor 3.

To find:

The result of dilation.

Solution:

The equation of a line is:

2y+3x=10

For x=0,

2y+3(0)=10

2y+0=10

y=\dfrac{10}{2}

y=5

For x=2,

2y+3(2)=10

2y+6=10

2y=10-6

2y=4

Divide both sides by 2.

y=\dfrac{4}{2}

y=2

The given line passes through the two points A(0,5) and B(2,2).

If the line dilated by factor 3 with origin as center of dilation, then

(x,y)\to (3x,3y)

Using this rule, we get

A(0,5)\to A'(3(0),3(5))

A(0,5)\to A'(0,15)

Similarly,

B(2,2)\to B'(3(2),3(2))

B(2,2)\to B'(6,6)

The dilated line passes through the points A'(0,15) and B'(6,6). So, the equation of dilated line is:

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

y-15=\dfrac{6-15}{6-0}(x-0)

y-15=\dfrac{-9}{6}(x)

y-15=\dfrac{-3}{2}x

Multiply both sides by 2.

2(y-15)=-3x

2y-30=-3x

2y+3x=30

Therefore, the equation of the line after the dilation is 2y+3x=30.
