Kari and Samantha have determined that their water-balloon launcher works best when they launch the balloon at an angle within 3

degrees of 45 degrees. Which equation can be used to determine the minimum and maximum optimal angles of launch, and what is the minimum angle that is still optimal? a. |x – 3| = 45; minimum angle: 42 degrees b. |x – 3| = 45; minimum angle: 45 degrees c. |x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 42 degrees d. |x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 45 degrees

ANSWER

<span>|x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 42 

======

EXPLANATION

In general, the distance between two real numbers x and y is given by |x - y|.

Therefore, the distance between the launch angle, x, and 45 degrees is

   |x - 45|

"Within three degrees" means the maximum and minimum angles are when the distance between x and 45 is 3 degrees. We set the distance to equal 3:

   |x - 45| = 3

The minimum angle can be found using subtraction. 45 less than 3 is 42 degrees, so the minimum angle is 42 degrees.

42 degrees is within 3 degrees of 45 degrees. If we added 45, that would get us the maximum angle.</span>

We are given the data that says that the launch angle the two girls use is <span>within 3 degrees of 45 degrees. This means, the mean is 45 degrees and there is a 3-degree separation between the mean and the maximum degree and the mean and the minimum angle. The answer then is </span><span>c. |x – 45| = 3; minimum angle: 42 degrees </span>

OLga [1]

Answer:

21

ctto JBarnum

Step-by-step explanation:

P+11=(1/2)(P-13)^2

P+11=(1/2)(P^2-26p+169)

2(P+11)=(1/2)(2)(P^2-26p+169)

2P+22=P^2-26p+169

0=P^2-28p+147      ( -7 and -21)

(P-7)(P-21)=0

P=7,21                     (cant be 7 as 13 years from 7 is negative so peter is 21)

checking:

21+11=32

32=(1/2)(21-13)^2

32=(1/2)(8)^2

32=(1/2)64

32=32

correct
