The path of a golf ball can be modeled by the quadratic equation y=-0.001x^2+0.3x, where y represents the vertical distance and

x represents the horizontal distance that the ball has traveled in yards. How far does the ball travel before it hits the ground?

Well if y represents the vertical distance of the ball then you want to solve the equation for when y is 0, since 0 would represent the ball being on the ground.  So substitute 0 in for y and solve the equation.

0 = - 0.001x^2 + 0.3x

we have a common factor of x in both terms so we can take that out.

0 = x(-0.001x + 0.3)

Zero product property tells us that we can set both of those products equal to zero and solve

0 = x
0 = -0.001x + 0.3

our first answer is x = 0 is obvious bc thats when the ball starts before you hit it, means it traveled 0.

solving the second equation gives us x = 300 

so the ball traveled 300 "yards" I suppose your problem starts, which is impossible, but no matter thats the answer :-)

yKpoI14uk [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the extended warrant is calculated as follow.

Value of Waranty

= 800 x 20% − 112.10

= 800 x 20/100 − 112.10

= 47.9

The expected value of the extended warranty assuming it is replaced in the first 2 years is given as follow.

Expected value=800-112.10=>687.90

Therefore, required expected value of extended warranty is 687.90

2.

Given information:

Number of Trials (n) = 15

Probability of Success (p) = 0.10

a) Let X represents the number of left-handed people.

b) The probability distribution follows binomial distribution.

X ∼ Binomial distribution

The probability distribution is given as follow.

P(X = x) = ^nCx(p)^x(1 − p)^n − x

c)The histogram is given as follow. (See attachment)

d) The shape of histogram is skewed right.

e) The mean is calculated as follow.

Mean

=n x p

= 15 x 0.10

= 1.5

f) The variance is calculated as follow.

Variance

= n x p x q

= 15 x 0.10 x 0.90

= 1.35

g) The standard deviation is calculated as follow.

Standard deviation

=√n x p x q

=√15 x 0.10 x 0.90

= 1.162

Answer:

275 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of trapezoid is:

Area=((b1+b2)/2)*h

In the given trapezoid, as it can be seen

b1=16

h=11

The lower base will be calculated using all the lengths in the lower base

b2=9+16+9

b=34

Putting the values in formula

Area=((16+34)/2)*11

Area=(50/2)*11

Area=25*11

=275 units^2
