A soccer ball is kicked toward the goal. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = −16t2 + 48t where t equals the

time in seconds and h(t) represents the height of the ball at time t seconds. What is the axis of symmetry, and what does it represent? t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground

Answer:

  • t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.

Explanation:

<u>1) Explanation of the model:</u>

  • Given: h(t) = -16t² + 48t

  • This is a quadratic function, so the height is modeled by a patabola.

  • This means that it has a vertex which is the minimum or maximu, height. Since the coefficient of the leading (quadratic) term is negative, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is the maximum height of the soccer ball.

<u>2) Axis of symmetry:</u>

  • The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line that passes through the vertex.

  • In the general form of the parabola, ax² + bx + c, the axis of symmetry is given by x = -b/(2a)

  • In our model a = - 16, and b = 48, so you get: t = - ( 48) / ( 2 × (-16) ) = 1.5

<u>Conclusion</u>: since t = 1.5 is the axys of symmetry, it means that at t = 1.5 the ball reachs its maximum height and that it will take the same additional time to fall back to the ground, whic is a tolal of  1. 5 s + 1.5 s = 3.0 s.

Answer: t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

$60 per ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

$215 is what it costs after the discount, so add the amount taken off, back on.

215+25

240

Then, divide by 4 to find the cost of each individual ticket.

240/4

60

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y - x = 5?
Ghella [55]
A parallel line would have the same slope as the given line so first you'd rewrite the equation y-x=5 to y=x+5 the slope is the x value so the slope is 1.

Naval intelligence reports that 99 enemy vessels in a fleet of 1818 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 99 vessels are randomly tar
oee [108]

Answer:

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed and then not replaced, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

Fleet of 18 means that N = 18

9 are carrying nuclear weapons, which means that k = 9

9 are destroyed, which means that n = 9

What is the probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

In which

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 0) = h(0,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,0}*C_{9,9}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.000021

P(X = 1) = h(1,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,1}*C_{9,8}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.001666

Then

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.000021 + 0.001666 = 0.001687

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.
