Ernest's friend Nik is about to be shot out of a connon. The path he will travel fallows a parabolic arch that can be described

by this polynomial.
f(x)=-0.05(x^2-26x-120)
He is supposed to land on a safety net 30 feet away. Does the function give you enough information to tell you where he will land? if so, how far from the cannon will he land?

Simplifying

F(x) = -0.05(x2 + -26x + -120)

Multiply F * x

xF = -0.05(x2 + -26x + -120)

Reorder the terms:

xF = -0.05(-120 + -26x + x2)

xF = (-120 * -0.05 + -26x * -0.05 + x2 * -0.05)

xF = (6 + 1.3x + -0.05x2)


Solving

xF = 6 + 1.3x + -0.05x2


Reorder the terms:

-6 + -1.3x + xF + 0.05x2 = 6 + 1.3x + -0.05x2 + -6 + -1.3x + 0.05x2

-6 + -1.3x + xF + 0.05x2 = 6 + -6 + 1.3x + -1.3x + -0.05x2 + 0.05x2


Combine like terms:

6 + -6 = 0

-6 + -1.3x + xF + 0.05x2 = 0 + 1.3x + -1.3x + -0.05x2 + 0.05x2

-6 + -1.3x + xF + 0.05x2 = 1.3x + -1.3x + -0.05x2 + 0.05x2

1.3x + -1.3x = 0.0

-6 + -1.3x + xF + 0.05x2 = 0.0 + -0.05x2 + 0.05x2

-6 + -1.3x + xF + 0.05x2 = -0.05x2 + 0.05x2

-0.05x2 + 0.05x2 = 0.00

-6 + -1.3x + xF + 0.05x2 = 0.00

An opinion research firm wants to find the country's reaction to a speech by a famous politician.they randomly select six states
Alina [70]
<span>This above passage describes random sampling. Because the researchers pick six random states, then ten random zip codes (for a total of 60 zip codes), then 50 people from each zip code (for a total of 50*60 people), the process is completely random. Although, I would probably make an alteration to include 3 states that favor one party, 3 states that favor another party, and 3 swing states for a survey like this (with everything still being random).</span>
