The height of a baseball after it is struck by a bat is modeled by the function h(x) = 3 + 128x − 16x2, where x is the elapsed t

ime in seconds and h is the height measured in feet. In context, what does the constant 3 represent?

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant 3 is the y-intercept of h(x). Physically, it is the initial height of the baseball.

Please solve 5 f <br> (Trigonometric Equations)<br> #salute u if u solved it

Answer:

$\beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve $\tan \beta \sec \beta=\sqrt{2}$ , where $0\le \beta \le360\degree$ .

We rewrite in terms of sine and cosine.

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos \beta} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \beta} =\sqrt{2}$

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

Use the Pythagorean identity: $\cos^2\beta=1-\sin^2\beta$ .

$\frac{\sin \beta}{1-\sin^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}(1-\sin^2\beta)$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta$

$\implies \sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta+\sin \beta- \sqrt{2}=0$

This is a quadratic equation in $\sin \beta$ .

By the quadratic formula, we have:

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4(\sqrt{2})(-\sqrt{2} ) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2+4(2) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{9} }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm3}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{2}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=\frac{-4}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ or $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$

When $\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ , $\beta=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} )$

$\implies \beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$ on the interval $0\le \beta \le360\degree$ .

When $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$ , $\beta$ is not defined because $-1\le \sin \beta \le1$

Shaquana finds some nickels and pennies in her change purse. How much money (in

kupik [55]

Answer:

3.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a nickel is 5 cents, you would do 5 x 60 which would equal 300, which is 3 dollars.

Since a penny is worth 1 cent, you would do 1 x 50 and get 50 cents, which is half a dollar.

3 + .5 = 3.50

Hope this helps!

The price of a set of feeding bowls for dogs have been $9.25 , but was increased to $11.10. What was the precent increased

maw [93]

Answer:

As per the given statement:

Original price of a set of feeding bowls for dogs = $9.25

Increased Price = $11.10

To find the percentage increase.

$\text{Percentage increase} = \frac{\text{Increased Price}}{\text{Original Price}} \times 100$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\text{Percentage increased} = \frac{11.10}{9.25} \times 100$

Simplify:

$\text{Percentage increased} = 120\%$

therefore, the increased percentage was 120%
