Answer:

0.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

If it decreases by 50% each time it hits the ground then all you have to do is divide 10 by 2 (50%) each time it bounces.

10 / 2 = 5 (first bounce)

5 / 2 = 2.5 (second bounce)

2.5 / 2 = 1.25 (third bounce)

Ect. . .

Until on the fifth bounce it is 0.3125m high.

What is the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation<br> y=x+3<br> y=x^2+2x-4
8_murik_8 [283]

The solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

y = x + 3 ------- eqn 1\\\\y = x^2 + 2x - 4  ----- eqn 2

<em><u>We have to substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>

x + 3 = x^2 + 2x - 4

\mathrm{Switch\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4=x+3\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4-3=x+3-3\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+2x-7=x\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-7-x=x-x\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+x-7=0

\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:formula}\\\\\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=1,\:c=-7\\\\x =\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{ 1 + 28}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{ -1 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}

x = \frac{ -1 \pm 5.385 }{2}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\x = \frac{ -1 + 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = 2.1925

Also\\\\x = \frac{ -1 - 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = -3.1925

Substitute x = 2.1925 in eqn 1

y = 2.1925 + 3

y = 5.1925

Substitute x = -3.1925 in eqn 1

y = -3.1925 + 3

y = -0.1925

Thus the solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

castortr0y [4]

<em>Answer: h = 120 ft;    w = 80 ft </em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation: Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = h*w   (eq1)</em>

<em></em>

<em>The total amount of fence used is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>L = 2*h + 2*w + w    (eq2)    (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)</em>

<em></em>

<em>Solving for w:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h   (eq3)  Replacing this into the area eq:</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:</em>

<em></em>

<em>   Solving for h:</em>

<em></em>

<em>h = 120 ft.  Replacing this into eq3:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = 80ft</em>

<em></em>

<em>Therefore the maximum area is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>
