A penguin leaps out of the water while swimming. This action is called porpoising. The height y (in feet) of a porpoising pengui

n can be modeled by y = −16x2 + 4.8x, where x is the time (in seconds) since the penguin leaped out of the water. Find the roots of the equation when y = 0. Explain what the roots mean in this situation.

Answer: The roots of the equation when y = 0 are 0 and 0.3

In this situation the root means the time (in seconds) since the penguin is inside the water.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height y (in feet) of a porpoising penguin can be modeled by

y=-16x^2+4.8x, where x is the time (in seconds) since the penguin leaped out of the water.

When y=0, then

-16x^2+4.8x=0

Taking 16x as common from both terms as gcf, we get

16x(-x+0.3)=0\\\Rightarrow\ 16x=0\ or\ -x+0.3=0\\\Rightarrow\ x=0\ or\ x=0.3

The roots of the equation when y = 0 are 0 and 0.3

In this situation the root means the time (in seconds) since the penguin is inside the water.

Ann [662]

Answer:

71.4699, 81.7301.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the following are the scores: 74

90

84

78

61

65

62

67

73

75

76

95

71

98

80

Let,\;the\;total\;sum\;of\;the\;scores\;be:\sum x =1149

Then,\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\sum x^2=89795

The length of the score : 15

Then, let the size of the scores be n : 15.

Then, we have to find the mean.

                                      \bar{x}=\frac{\sum x}{n}

                                         =\frac{1149}{15}=76.6

Then,\;we\;have\;to\;find\;standard\;deviation:S=\sqrt{\frac{\sum x^2-n.(\bar{x})^2}{n-1} }

                                         =\sqrt{\frac{89795-15\times(76.6)^2}{15-1} }=11.2808

The\;degree\;of\;freedom:n-1=14

So,\;the\;significant\;level:\alpha=1-0.90=0.10

and\;the\;critical\;value:t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=1.7613

Finally:\\=\bar{x}\;\pm\;t_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }\;\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }\\=(71.4699, 81.7301)
