A diver dives from the board at a local swimming pool. Her height, y, in metres, above the water in terms of her horizontal dist

Aneli [31]

Answer:

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in which the coefficient of $x^2$ is negative, the parabola opens up and has a maximum point. This maximum point occurs at the line of symmetry.

Since the divers height, y is modeled by the equation

$y= -x^2 + 2x + 3$

Step 1: Determine the equation of symmetry

In the equation above, a=-1, b=2, c=3

Equation of symmetry, $x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}$

$x=-\dfrac{2}{2*-1}\\x=1$

Step 2: Find the value of y at the point of symmetry

That is, we substitute x obtained above into the y and solve.

$y(1)= -1^2 + 2(1) + 3=-1+2+3=4m$

The maximum height of the diver is therefore 4 meters.

What is the area of this triangle?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

ANSWER

56.1 square inches.

EXPLANATION

The area of this triangle can be calculated using the formula,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} ab \sin( C)$

where a=8in.

b=14.2 in.

and C=99° is the included angle.

We plug in these values to obtain,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 14.2 \sin( 99 \degree)$

$Area = 56.1007$

We round to the nearest tenth to get,

56.1 sq. inch

The tee for the sixth hole on a golf course is 305 yards from the tee. On that hole, Marsha hooked her ball to the left, as sket

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Correct answer is option D. 96.4 yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached figure for labeling of the given diagram.

ABC is a triangle with the following labeling:

A is the hole, B is the Tee and C is the point where the ball is.

Sides are labeled as:

$a =255\ yd\\c = 305\ yd\\\angle B =17^\circ$

To find:

Side $b = ?$

Solution:

Here, we have one angle and two sides . Third side of the triangle is to be found opposite to the given angle.

We can use cosine formula here to find the value of the unknown side.

$cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2ac}$

Putting all the values:

$cos 17 = \dfrac{255^{2}+305^{2}-b^{2}}{2\times 255\times 305}\\\Rightarrow 0.956 = \dfrac{65025+93025-b^{2}}{155550}\\\Rightarrow 148753.2= 158050-b^{2}\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= 158050-148753.2\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= 9296.795\\\Rightarrow b= 96.42\ yd$
