The path followed by a roller coaster as it climbs up and descends down from a peak can be modeled by a quadratic function, wher

e h(x) is the height, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance, also in feet. The path begins and ends at the same height, covers a total horizontal distance of 100 feet, and reaches a maximum height of 250 feet. Which of the functions could be used to model this situation?

Answer:

y = -0.1x^2 + 250 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this quadratic equation would have the curve-down form of:

y = -ax^2 + b

where a and b are positive coefficient.

If we let the peak (250 ft) of the curve be at x = 0. Then

y = -a0^2 + b = 250

b = 250

Also at the begins and ends, thats where y = 0, the 2 points are separated by 100 ft. So let the begin at -50 ft and the end at 50ft. We have

-a(\pm 50)^2 + 250 = 0

-a2500 = -250

a = 250/2500 = 0.1

Therefore, the model quadratic equation of our path would be

y = -0.1x^2 + 250 ft

Answer:

175

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle has to = 360 degrees. 360-10=350

350/2=175

The x is halfway that's why you divide by 2.

The standard form of five and fiffty hundredths is
mash [69]

Answer:

You could do 5 x 1 = 5

And for fifty, 5 x 10 = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is basically a big or small equation of the numbers

standard form is the usual way of writing numbers in decimal notation, i.e. standard form = 876, expanded form = 800 + 70 + 6, written form = eight hundred seventy six

Hope it helped :)

If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you'll get only $1 change from your $10 bill. but if you buy four pens and two me
xxTIMURxx [149]

Let p be the prize of a pen and m the prize of a mechanical pencils. If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you spend 6p+m. We know that this equals 9, because you get 1$ change from a 10$ bill.

Similarly, if you buy four pens and two mechanical pencils, you spend 4p+2m, which is 8$, because now you get a $2 change. Put these equation together in a system:

\begin{cases} 6p+m=9\\4p+2m=8\end{cases}

Now, if you multiply the first equation by 2, the system becomes

\begin{cases} 12p+2m=18\\4p+2m=8\end{cases}

Subtract the second equation from the first:

12p+2m - (4p+2m) = 18-8 \iff 8p = 10 \iff p = \dfrac{10}{8} = 1.25

Plug this value into the first equation to get

6p+m=9 \iff 6\cdot 1.25 +m = 9 \iff 7.5 +m=9 \iff m = 9-7.5 = 1.5
