A football thrown by a quarterback follows a path given by hx=-0.0095x2+x+7, where h is the height of the ball in feet and x is

the horizontal distance the ball has traveled in feet. If any height less than 10 feet can be caught or knocked down, at what distances from the quarterback can the ball be knocked down?

Answer:

The ball can be knocked down at a horizontal distance of 3.09 feet or 102.17 feet from the marshal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function that represents the height h (x) of the ball h(x) = -0.0095x^2 + x + 7

Where x is the horizontal distance of the ball.

We want to find the horizontal distance the ball is at (horizontal distance between the field marshal and the ball) when it is at a height of 10 feet.

To do this, we must do h (x) = 10

10 = -0.0095x^2 + x + 7\\0 = -0.0095x^2 + x -3

Now we must solve the second degree equation. For this we use the formula of the resolvent:

\frac{-b + \sqrt{b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c}}{2a}

       and

\frac{-b - \sqrt{b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c}}{2a}


\frac{-1 + \sqrt{1 ^ 2 - 4 * (- 0.0095)(-3)}} {2 (-0.0095)} = 3.09 ft

  and

\frac{-1 - \sqrt{1 ^ 2 - 4 * (- 0.0095)(-3)}} {2 (-0.0095)} = 102.17ft


Then, the ball can be knocked down at a horizontal distance of 3.09 feet or 102.17 feet from the marshal.

Find the area of the regular polygon
olasank [31]

area = 44.0467 \: cm {}^{2}

<h3>step by step explanation </h3>

● area of regular polygon Formulas ,

⟹a = \frac{l^{2}n}{4tan(\frac{\pi }{n)}}

● now finding the area of regular polygon,

⟹\frac{4 {}^{2} \times 8 }{ 4 \: tan \:  \binom{180}{5} }

⟹a =  \frac{128}{4 \times 0.7265}

⟹a = 44.0467 \: cm {}^{2}

Hope it's helps you

What does 6-2p+5p-3 equal
viva [34]

Answer:

3 + 3p

Step-by-step explanation:

since there's no equal sign or no value that it shows all of that added together is equivalent to it's not really equal to anything. However if you're asking what that equation would look like if you simplified it down , then it would be 3 + 3p because you combine the like terms

Ainat [17]

Answer:

C. One-fourth mile over thirty-six seconds = 25 miles per hour.

We have been given that an elephant can run one over four of a mile in 36 seconds.

To find elephant's rate in miles per hour, we will convert our given time in hours as shown below:

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
