I think it might be 10.

8 squared plus 6 squared

64 + 36 = 100

Square root the 100 to get 10 .

The length of AC is a 10 feet

Answer:

At approximately x = 0.08 and x = 3.92.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the ball is modeled by the function:

$f(x)=-16x^2+64x+5$

Where f(x) is the height after x seconds.

We want to determine the time(s) when the ball is 10 feet in the air.

Therefore, we will set the function equal to 10 and solve for x:

$10=-16x^2+64x+5$

Subtracting 10 from both sides:

$-16x^2+64x-5=0$

For simplicity, divide both sides by -1:

$16x^2-64x+5=0$

We will use the quadratic formula. In this case a = 16, b = -64, and c = 5. Therefore:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-64)\pm\sqrt{(-64)^2-4(16)(5)}}{2(16)}$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{64\pm\sqrt{3776}}{32}$

Simplify the square root:

$\sqrt{3776}=\sqrt{64\cdot 59}=8\sqrt{59}$

Therefore:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{64\pm8\sqrt{59}}{32}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{8\pm\sqrt{59}}{4}$

Approximate:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{8+\sqrt{59}}{4}\approx 3.92\text{ and } x=\frac{8-\sqrt{59}}{4}\approx0.08$

Therefore, the ball will reach a height of 10 feet at approximately x = 0.08 and x = 3.92.

D. Expenses for a birthday party are not a fixed expense.

By definition, a fixes expense is a bill or something that won't change in the amount of payment. A car payment will always be the same each month; the mortgage will always be the same and car insurance will always be the same each month.

Phoenix [80]

Let x be a random variable representing the length of a text messaging conversation, then
P(x > 3) = 1 - P(x < 3) = 1 - P(z < (3 - 2)/0.5) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275
