How many x intercepts appear on the graph of this polynomial function? f(x)=x^4-x^3+x^2-x

Round seven point seven six to one decimal place

Rzqust [24]

7.76 to one decimal place

= 7.8

We are looking at one decimal place, in this case the number 7 after the decimal place next to 6. Any number above 5 rounds up the number in front of it. 6 is above 5 so it changes the 7 to an 8.

Answer:

a) 50 meters

b) 2354 meters

c) 12 seconds

d) 24.13 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

<h3>a) How far is Lincoln above the ground when he shoots the gun?</h3>

We need to really understand what the variables represent in this question. Given that t is time, and h is height, the time at which he shoots the bullet will be 0, as the bullet hasn't started traveling yet. This means that we can solve for the original height of the bullet by plugging in 0 for time in the equation.

Equation: $h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50$

Plug in 0 for t:

$h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50$
$h = -16(0)^2 + 384(0) + 50$
$h = 50$

The height at which Lincoln shot the bullet is 50 meters.

We can also look at this graphically. The height of origin will simply be when the x-value (in this case t-value) is 0. That means it is the point at which the graph intersects the y-axis, known as the y-intercept.

Standard form of a Parabola: $y = ax^2 + bx + c$

The y-intercept is the "c" value.

Given our equation: $h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50$

The c-value is 50. This proves that the y-intercept is 50.

<h3 /><h3>b)How high does the bullet travel vertically relative to the ground?</h3>

We want to find the highest point of the graph. To do that, we can find the vertex.

We can utilize the Axis of Symmetry (AOS) to find the Vertex.

First, find the AOS using the formula: $AOS = -\frac{b}{2a}$

a = -16
b = 384

Plug it into the formula:

$AOS = -\frac{b}{2a}$
$AOS = -\frac{384}{2(-16)}$
$AOS = \frac{384}{32}$
$AOS = 12$

Plug in 12 for t in the equation:

$h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50$
$h = -16(12)^2 + 384(12) + 50$
$h = -2304 + 4608 + 50$
$h = 2304+50$
$h = 2354$

Therefore, the highest point of the bullet is 2354 meters.

<h3>c)How long does it take the bullet to reach its greatest height?</h3>

We answered this in the last question. The t-value when h is at its highest is 12.

<h3>d)After how many seconds (round to nearest 100th) does the bullet hit the ground?</h3>

We have to solve for the values of t when h is 0 (when it touches the ground).

Set the equation to 0, and solve using the quadratic formula.

Quadratic formula: $x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$
$x = \frac{-384\pm\sqrt{384^2 - 4(-16)(50)}}{2(-16)}$
$x = \frac{-384\pm\sqrt{147456 +3200}}{-32}$
$x = \frac{-384\pm\sqrt{150656}}{-32}$
$x = \frac{-384\pm388.14}{-32}$
$x = -\frac{4.14}{32}, x = \frac{772.14}{32}$

We are only going to take the positive solution, as we can't have a negative time. The solution that doesn't work is called an extraneous solution.

$x = \frac{772.14}{32}$
$x = 24.13$

It takes approximately 24.13 seconds for the bullet to hit the ground.

PLEASE HELP, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!!!! (08.06 MC) Mike and his friends bought cheese wafers for $2 per packet and choc

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

x = 5 , y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using substitution.

Let the quantity of cheese wafers be denoted by x and the quantity of chocolate wafers denoted by y

2x + 1y = 25

x + y = 20

These two equations are the answer to part A, (remember to include the above prompt which says what x and y denote).

For part B I used substitution because it was more applicable to the question then addition or elimination.

ACTUAL WORK

Set 2x + 1y = 25 equal to x

x = 25 - y / 2

Replace x with y in the second equation

(25 - y / 2) + y = 20

And solve for y

y = 15

Since we know what y is we can replace y in the second equation and find what x is

x + 15 = 20

Solve for x

x = 5
