Jamie kicked a soccer ball that traveled along a path described by the parabola y = -x^2 +8x, where y equals the height of the s

occer ball in feet, and x = the horizontal distance in feet that the ball has traveled from Jamie. How many feet from Jamie does the soccer ball hit the ground?

We have that
<span>y = -x</span>²<span>+8x

we know that
when the ball hint the ground is the x-intercepts of the graph
the x-intercepts is for y=0
so
0=-x</span>²+8x--------> x²-8x=0----> x*(x-8)=0

the solution is
x=0
x=8

the x intercepts are the points (0,0) and (8,0)
the distance between the x intercepts points =[8-0]-----> 8 ft

the answer is
8 ft

see the attached figure

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 90 units. find the length of side vy . write your answer without variables.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The picture in the attached figure

we know that
perimeter of a rectangle=2*[base+height]
base=3y+1
height=2y+3
perimeter=90 units
so
90=2*[(3y+1)+(2y+3)]-----> 90=2*[5y+4]----> 10y+8=90----> y=8.2 units

base=3y+1-----> base=3*8.2+1-----> 25.6 units
height=2y+3----> height= 2*8.2+3---> 19.4 units 

the answer is
<span>the length of side vy is (2y+3)-----> 19.4 units</span>

The quarterback of a football team releases a pass at a height of 6 feet above the playing field, and the football is caught by
motikmotik

Answer:

t = 25.1seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

X(t)= 16cos75°t

Y(t)= 6 + (Vosin75°t - 16t^2)

Converting 78 yards to feet :

1 yard = 3 feet

78feet =?

78×3=234 feet

Y(t)= number of feet above the ground at t seconds

VoCos75° t = 234

t = 234/(VoCos75°)

At this time,4 = y(234/VoCos75°)

4 = 6 + VoSin75°(234/VoCos75) - 16(234/VoCos75°)^2

Vo= 140.66ft/s

Time,t= 234/(140.66× Cos75°)

t = 25.087seconds

t= 25.1 seconds (1 decimal place)
