During halftime of a basketball ​game, a sling shot launches​ T-shirts at the crowd. A​ T-shirt is launched from a height of 4 f

eet with an initial upward velocity of 64 feet per second. The​ T-shirt is caught 41 feet above the court. How long will it take the​ T-shirt to reach its maximum​ height? What is the maximum​ height? What is the range of the function that models the height of the​ T-shirt over​ time?

Answer:

(a) The time the T-shirt takes to maximum height is 2 seconds

(b) The maximum height is 68 ft

(c) The range of the function that models the height of the T-shirt over time given above is 4 + 64\cdot t - 16 \cdot  t^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we note that the general equation representing the height of the T-shirt as a function of time is

h = h_1 + u\cdot t - \frac{1}{2} \cdot g  \cdot  t^{2}

Where:

h = Height reached by T-shirt

t = Time of flight

u = Initial velocity = 64 ft/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity (negative because upward against gravity) = 32 ft/s²

h₁ = Initial height of T-shirt = 4 ft

(a) The maximum height can be found from the time to maximum height given as

v = u - gt

Where:

u = Initial velocity = 64 ft/s

v = Final upward velocity at maximum height = 0 m/s

g = 32 ft/s²

Therefore,

0 = 64 - 32·t

32·t = 64 and

t = 64/32 = 2 seconds

(b) Therefore, maximum height is then

h = 4 + 64\times 2 - \frac{1}{2} \times 32  \times  2^{2}

∴ h = 68 ft

The T-shirt is then caught 41 ft above the court on its way down

(c) The range of the function that models the height of the T-shirt over time given above is derived as

h = h_1 + u\cdot t - \frac{1}{2} \cdot g  \cdot  t^{2}

With u = 64 ft/s

g = 32 ft/s² and

h₁ = 4 ft

The equation becomes

h =4 + 64\cdot t - \frac{1}{2} \times 32  \cdot  t^{2} = 4 + 64\cdot t - 16 \cdot  t^{2}.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion

Interquartile range is preferred when the distribution of data is highly skewed (right or left skewed) and when we have the presence of outliers. Because under these conditions the sample variance and deviation can be biased estimators for the dispersion.

What is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile​ range?

The most important advantage is that the sample variance and deviation takes in count all the observations in order to calculate the statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The interquartile range is defined as the difference between the upper quartile and the first quartile and is a measure of dispersion for a dataset.

IQR= Q_3 -Q_1

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion obatined from the sample variance and is given by:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

Solution to the problem

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 30 cm and a height of 75 cm
vivado [14]
The formula for the area of a triangle is

1/2 b•h

Let’s plug in our values !

1/2 (30•75)

1/2 • 2,250 = ?

2,250/2 = 1,125

The area of the triangle is 1,125 cm^2

I hope I helped !

What is the circumference of the circle that circumscribes a triangle with side lengths 3, 4, and 5?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

  5π, about 15.708 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A 3-4-5 triangle is a right triangle. When a circle circumscribes a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle. The circumference of a circle is given by ...

  C = πd

For a diameter of 5 units, the circumference is ...

  C = π(5) = 5π = 15.708 . . . units

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The (3, 4, 5) triple is one of the first Pythagorean triples you run across. It is the smallest integer triple, and the only primitive triple with values in an arithmetic sequence. You can show this is a Pythagorean triple by ...

 3² + 4² = 9 +16 = 25 = 5²

That is, these numbers satisfy the Pythagorean theorem relation for sides of a right triangle.
