Answer: NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions that models the height of the ball is given as

h(t) = -5t2 + 40t + 100

Where

a = -5, b = 40, c = 100

The time the ball will reach the maximum height will be the vertex of the parabola. At the line of symmetry, the time t will be:

t = -b/2a

Substitute b and a into the formula above.

t = - 40 / -5 = 8

Substitute 8 for t in the function f(t)

h(t) = - 5(8)^2 + 40(8) + 100

h(t) = -5(64) + 40(8) + 100

Open the bracket

h(t) = -320 + 320 + 100

h(t) = 100

The maximum height of the ball is 100m

Given that the power lines is 185 metres above the ground. The golf ball will therefore not hit power lines because the maximum height the ball can go is 100 metres

Each of the four sides of a swimming pool measures 9 meters. The pool is 5 meters deep. How much water will be needed to fill it

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

D. 405

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the area of the swimming pool without the water. That is 9 x 9 = 81. Then you multiply the area (without water) by 5 to find the area with the water.

The data below are the ages and systolic blood pressures (measured in millimeters of mercury) of 9 randomly selected adults. Wha

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following dataset given:

x: 38,41,45,48,51,53,57,61,65

y: 116,120,123,131,142,145,148,150,152

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$
