Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we used calculus this would be pretty simple, but I'm going to assume this is not a calc class, so I will answer with algebra.

You're going to need to know your graph transformations.  And the base graph of x^2.  When does x^2 decrease?  Well, it reaches its lowest point at  (0,0), so everything before that it is decreasing.  then after that it is increasing, so keep that in mind, especially the point 0,0.

Now, there are three transformations here.  -1*x^2 (x+8)^2 and x^2-1, so let's see what each of those do.

-1*x^2 or just -x^2 flips the graph over the x axis.  So now, instead of the u shape x62 usually has it now has an upside down u shape, which means the increasing and decreasing flipped.  So now it increases from - infinity to 0, and then decreases from 0 to infinity.   It reaches it's highest point at (0,0) still though since it was not moved up, down, left or right.

(x+8)^2 moves the graph to the LEFT 8 times.  I stress left because it's moving int he negative direction on the x axis even though we are adding x  You need to keep this in mind.  Anyway, that peak point (0,0) is moved left by 8 now, so that's (-8,0).  this means the graph increases from - infinity to 8 now, and then decreases from 8 to infinity.

This final transformation is just adding 1.  x^2-1 moves the graph down 1.  Unlike the +8 from the last one this is outside of the parenthesis.  if this was (x-1)^2 it would move the graph to the right by 1.  Also note being outside those parenthesis moves it in the corresponding direction, down on the y axis.  Anyway, x^2-1 would move the tip (or the vertex) down to (0,-1), but we moved our vertex to (-8,0) so now it gets moved to (-8,1).

Now the vertex is a maximum, which means the graph increases until it gets to the vertex, and then decreases.  Since the 1 only moved it down the interval left and right doesn't change for increasing/ decreasing.  So it still decreases from -8 to infinity.

Again, let me know if you didn't get something.

the mean height of a group of 500 nonsmoking college students is 74 inches and the standard deviation is 5 inches. what is the p
Novosadov [1.4K]
Based on the given description above, I have analyzed it and come up with a solution to get the probability if in a random sample of 25 students from this said group and the average height is between 73 and 75 inches. So if you calculate it, it will be like this: 
<span>2P(Z<2)−1</span> To find the probability of Z, use the normal distribution table.
The value for Z being less than 2 is 0.9772. The final result is then<span><span>2(0.9772)−1=0.9544
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.</span></span>

If a ball is thrown directly upward with a velocity of 50ft/s, it's height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y=50t-16t^2 wha
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

39.0625 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function is a quadratic representing height, and the coefficient of the t² is negative, the vertex of the parabola will be the maximum height achieved by the ball.  

The general form for a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c, here a is -16, and b is 50

To find the x coordinate of the vertex, use   x = -b/(2a)

We have x = -50/[2(-16)]

               

                  x = -50/-32

             

                         x= 25/16

Now plug that into the equation to find the y value, which will be the height...

y = 50(25/16) - 16(25/16)²

    y = 1250/16 - 16(625/256)

        y = 1250/16 - 625/16

              y = 625/16

                   y = 39.0625
