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.

The answer is C. 71. You add up all the numbers to get 355. and then you divide by the amount of numbers there are. there are 5 numbers so you do 355/5 to get 71.

N=0 bc you remove the parentheses, cancel the equal terms what would be 6 being cancel it would look like -24n=3n now and move the variable to the left collet like terms and then you will divide the sides. Your answer is 0

A shop keeper has offered an item for sale. Its label price is Rs . It is not sold in one-month period and after one month its l
BigorU [14]

Answer:

x = Rs 20,833.33

the value of x is Rs 20,833.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y and z represent the price of the item initially, after one month and after two months respectively.

Given that;

after one month its label price is reduced by 20%

y = x - 20% of x

y = x - 0.20x

y = 0.80x ........1

after 2 months its reduced price is further reduced by 10% and then sold it for Rs 15000.

z = y - 10% of y

z = y - 0.10y

z = 0.90y ........2

Substituting equation 1 into 2;

z = 0.90(0.80x)

z = 0.72x

Also z = Rs 15000

So,

z = 0.72x = Rs 15000

0.72x = Rs 15000

x = Rs 15000/0.72

x = Rs 20833.33333333

x = Rs 20,833.33

the value of x is Rs 20,833.33
