The function f(x) = −x2 − 9x + 10 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), in

feet, and the horizontal distance x, in feet, of a diver from the diving board. What is a zero of f(x), and what does it represent?
A: x = 1; the diver jumps in the pool at 1 foot per second
B: x = 10; the diver jumps in the pool at 10 feet per second
C: x = 1; the diver hits the water 1 foot away horizontally from the board
D: x = 10; the diver hits the water 10 feet away horizontally from the board

Answer:

Zeros of a function: x = 1 and x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

A zero of a function is the value of x when f(x) = 0. In other words it is the intersect point between x and y=f(x), when y =0.

First we need to make f(x)=0, so we would have: -x^{2}-9x+10=0.

If we factorize this quadratic function, we would have: (x+10)(x-1)=0

So we get x = -10 and x = 1.

  • x = 1 means that the diver hits the water 1 foot away horizontally from the board.
  • x=-10 means the diver hits the water 10 feet behind the diving board.

Hope it helps!

The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles. A length of 1.7 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map. City C
Xelga [282]
The scale of the map is equal to 250 miles per 1.7 feet. or 250m/1.7ft. set up as a fraction.
Divide 250 by 1.7 to get how many miles are equal to just 1 foot.
250/1.7 = 147.058824 miles per 1 foot
Multiply that times 3.06 feet (the distance between C and D on the map)
147.058824m/1ft x 3.06ft = 450m
The actual distance between City C and City D should be 450 miles.

Weights of the vegetables in a field are normally distributed. From a sample Carl Cornfield determines the mean weight of a box
pantera1 [17]
To find the z-score for a weight of 196 oz., use

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{196-180}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2

A table for the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution (see picture) gives the area 0.9772 BELOW the z-score z = 2.  Carl is wondering about the percentage of boxes with weights ABOVE z = 2.  The total area under the normal curve is 1, so subtract .9772 from 1.0000.

1.0000 - .9772 = 0.0228, so about 2.3% of the boxes will weigh more than 196 oz.
