Answer:

2.0 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given quadratic functions</u>:

$\begin{cases}y=-7x^2+26x+3\\y=-6x^2 +23x+5\end{cases}$

To find the time, in seconds, that the balloons collided at the highest point, <u>substitute</u> one equation into the other equation and rearrange to <u>equal zero</u>:

$\begin{aligned}-6x^2+23x+5 & = -7x^2+26x+3\\-6x^2+23x+5+7x^2 & = -7x^2+26x+3+7x^2\\x^2+23x+5 & = 26x+3\\x^2+23x+5-26x & = 26x+3-26x\\x^2-3x+5& = 3\\x^2-3x+5-3& = 3-3\\x^2-3x+2& = 0\end{aligned}$

<u>Factor</u> the quadratic:

$\begin{aligned}x^2-3x+2 & = 0\\x^2-2x-x+2 & = 0\\x(x-2)-1(x-2) & = 0\\(x-1)(x-2) & = 0\\\end{aligned}$

Apply the <u>zero-product property</u> to solve for x:

$\implies (x-1)=0 \implies x=1$

$\implies (x-2)=0 \implies x=2$

Therefore, the balloons collided at 1 second and 2 seconds.

To find at which time the highest point of collision occured, substitute both values of x into one of the functions:

$f(1)=-6(1)^2 +23(1)+5=22$

$f(2)=-6(2)^2 +23(2)+5=27$

Therefore, the time, in seconds, that the balloons collided at the highest point is 2.0 seconds.

Vicky did a survey to answer the following question: What is the average fitness score of grade 8 students? The mean fitness sco

mario62 [17]

The mean is calculated by adding up all of the data points and then dividing the sum by the amount of points added.

The mean fitness score was 3.2 points. If all of the students scored the same thing (3.2 points) then this would be the fitness score of each student.

Thus, the answer is D. 3.2 points.
