How far is a football kicked if its y=-0.03x^2+1.53x

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is 51 (not sure of the measurement unit). Assuming you mean the football hits the ground when it's kicked and lands somewhere downfield, y would be 0 (y means height from the ground, and if something is on the ground, it has no height. Hence, the 0). Set the equation equal to 0 and factor to solve for x. 0 = -.03x(x-51). 0 = -.03x and x = 0, or 0 = x-51 and x = 51

Suppose the students construct a 95% confidence interval for the true weight of their rocks. Whose interval do you expect to be

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is:

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which z is related to the confidence level, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From the equation above, the larger the size of the sample, the lower the margin is, that is, the narrower the interval is.

In this question:

A student weighed the rock 20 times and other the 5. From above, the one who weighed the rock 20 times will have the more precise interval.

So the correct answer is:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Consider the radical equation (3√6-x)+4=-8. Explain why the calculation in Problem 1 does not produce a solution to the equation

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First we will solve the radical equation</u> (which I guess was problem 1),

Let's start by simplifying it:

$3\sqrt{6-x}+4=-8\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-8-4\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-12\\\sqrt{6-x}=-4$

Now we will solve the equation by squaring both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt{6-x} =-4\\6-x=-4^{2} \\6-x=16\\-x=16-6\\-x=10\\x=-10$

So the calculation for x was that x = -10

However, this does not produce a solution to the equation: When we plug this value into the radical equation we get:

$3\sqrt{6-x} +4= -8\\3\sqrt{6-(-10)} +4=-8\\3\sqrt{16}+4 = -8\\ 3(4)+4 = -8\\12 + 4 = -8$

This happens because <u>when we first squared both sides of the equation in the first part of the problem we missed one value for x </u>(remember that all roots have 2 answers, a positive one and a negative one) while squares are always positive.

When we squared the root, we missed one value for x and that is why the calculation does not produce a solution to the equation.
