The height of a flare fired from the deck of a ship in distress can be modeled by h=-16t^2+104t+56, where h is the height of the

flare above water and t is the time in seconds. Find the time it takes the flare to hit the water.

Answer:

7 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the height of a flare fired from the deck of a ship in distress can be modeled by h=-16t^2+104t+56, where h is the height of the flare above water and t is the time in seconds.

The ball will hit the ground, when height will be 0 meters, so we will equate h=0 to find the time when ball will hit the ground as:

-16t^2+104t+56=0

Using quadratic formula, we will get:  

t=\frac{-104\pm\sqrt{104^2-4(-16)(56)}}{2(-16)}

t=\frac{-104\pm\sqrt{10816+3584}}{-32}

t=\frac{-104\pm\sqrt{14400}}{-32}

t=\frac{-104\pm120}{-32}

t=\frac{-104+120}{-32}\text{ or }t=\frac{-104-120}{-32}

t=\frac{16}{-32}\text{ or }t=\frac{-224}{-32}

t=-\frac{1}{2}\text{ or }t=7

Since time cannot be negative, therefore, it will take 7 seconds for the flare to hit the ground.

The following information was collected on 20 randomly chosen high school students, which compared their IQ score to musical apt
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Y = 0.4925X - 22.26 ;

(-12.413, 13.398) ;

Yes, there is

Step-by-step explanation:

X = IQ Score ; Y = musical aptitude

The regression equation from the table given using the slope and intercept coefficient :

Y = 0.4925X - 22.26

0.4925 = slope ; Intercept = - 22.26

The 95% confidence interval of the slope :

Confidence interval = b ± Tcritical*SE

Tcritical at 95%, df = n - 2 = (20 - 2) = 18

Tcritical = 2.1009

b = slope Coefficient = 0.4925

S.E = 6.143

Hence, we have :

Confidence interval = 0.4925 ± (2.1009 * 6.143)

Confidence interval = 0.4925 ± 12.9058287

Lower boundary = 0.4925 - 12.9058287 = - 12.413

Upper boundary = 0.4925 + 12.9058287 = 13.398

(-12.413, 13.398)

There is a significant relationship between IQ score and musical aptitude because, 0 is within the confidence interval obtained.
