We have the representation of this problem in the figure below. As we have a 10.3 mile race, then the equation is fulfilled as:

d = 10.3mi =  d_{1}+ d_{2}

We know that there is <span>a water station that is twice as far from the starting line as from the finish​ line, then:

</span>d_{2}=2d_{1}

So:

d_{1} +2d_{1}=10.3
∴ d_{1}=3.43mi

and d_{2}=2(3.43)=6.86mi

<span>Finally, the distance of the runner from the finish​ line is:
</span>
6.86mi

Consider the graph of the function f(x)=2x.
77julia77 [94]

Given:

The parent function is:

f(x)=2^x

The other function is:

g(x)=2f(x)

To find:

The statement that describes a key feature of function g.

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=2^x

g(x)=2f(x)

Using these two functions, we get

g(x)=2(2)^x

Putting x=0, we get

g(x)=2(2)^{(0)}

g(x)=2(1)

g(x)=2

The y-intercept of the function g at (0,2). So, option A is correct and option B is incorrect.

We know that g(x)\to 0 as x\to -\infty and it will never intersect the line y=0. It means the horizontal asymptote of the function g is

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A ball is shot into the air using a brand new super-high-tech robotic arm to help baseball players practice catch fly balls.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

69 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5

where

h(t) is the height of the ball

t is the time in seconds

we know that the given equation is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is the maximum

so

the y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum height of the ball

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

The equation in vertex form is equal to

y=(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5

h(t)-5=-16t^{2}+64t

h(t)-5=-16(t^{2}-4t)

h(t)-5-64=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)

h(t)-69=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)

h(t)-69=-16(t-2)^{2}

h(t)=-16(t-2)^{2}+69

the vertex is the point (2,69)

therefore

The maximum height is 69 ft
