Answer:

squared feet

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area of a barn is its length multiplied by its width which most definitely would have been measured in ft

therefore xfeet multiplied by yfeet will give xy squared feet

Write a slope intercept form equation through given points . (18, 14), (-6, -19)

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

y-14=11/8(x-18)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-19-14)/(-6-18)

m=-33/-24

m=33/24

simplify

m=11/8

y-14=11/8(x-18)

SOLVE THE QUESTION BELOW ASAP

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Part A) The graph in the attached figure (see the explanation)

Part B) 16 feet

Part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Graph the function

Let

h(t) ----> the height in feet of the ball above the ground

t -----> the time in seconds

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+98$

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex is a maximum

To graph the parabola, find the vertex, the intercepts, and the axis of symmetry

<em>Find the vertex</em>

The function is written in vertex form

so

The vertex is the point (0,98)

Find the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of the function when the value of t is equal to zero

For t=0

$h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98$

$h(0)=98$

The y-intercept is the point (0,98)

Find the t-intercepts

The t-intercepts are the values of t when the value of the function is equal to zero

For h(t)=0

$-16t^{2}+98=0$

$t^{2}=\frac{98}{16}$

square root both sides

$t=\pm\frac{\sqrt{98}}{4}$

$t=\pm7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$

therefore

The t-intercepts are

$(-7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0), (7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0)$

$(-2.475,0), (2.475,0)$

Find the axis of symmetry

The equation of the axis of symmetry in a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

$x=0$ ----> the y-axis

To graph the parabola, plot the given points and connect them

we have

The vertex is the point $(0,98)$

The y-intercept is the point $(0,98)$

The t-intercepts are $(-2.475,0), (2.475,0)$

The axis of symmetry is the y-axis

The graph in the attached figure

Part B) How far is the artifact fallen from the time t=0 to time t=1

we know that

For t=0

$h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98$

$h(0)=98\ ft$

For t=1

$h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98$

$h(1)=82\ ft$

Find the difference

$98\ ft-82\ ft=16\ ft$

Part C) Does the artifact fall the same distance from time t=1 to time t=2 as it does from the time t=0 to time t=1?

we know that

For t=1

$h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98$

$h(1)=82\ ft$

For t=2

$h(t)=-16(2)^{2}+98$

$h(2)=34\ ft$

Find the difference

$82\ ft-34\ ft=48\ ft$

so

The artifact fall 48 feet from time t=1 to time t=2 and fall 16 feet from time t=0 to time t=1

therefore

The distance traveled from t=1 to t=2 is greater than the distance traveled from t=0 to t=1

An isosceles triangle’s altitude will bisect its base. Which expression could be used to find the area of the isosceles triangle

omeli [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{40}\cdot \sqrt{40}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the base is the distance between the points 4+2i and 10+4i, so

$\text{Base}=|10+4i-(4+2i)|=|10+4i-4-2i|=|6+2i|=\sqrt{6^2+2^2}=\\ \\=\sqrt{36+4}=\sqrt{40}$

The middle point of the base is placed at point

$\dfrac{4+2i+10+4i}{2}=\dfrac{6i+14}{2}=7+3i$

The length of the height is the distance between the points 5+9i and 7+3i

$\text{Height}=|5+9i-(7+3i)|=|5+9i-7-3i|=|-2+6i|=\sqrt{(-2)^2+6^2}=\\ \\=\sqrt{4+36}=\sqrt{40}$

So, the area of the triangle is

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{Base}\cdot \text{Height}=\dfrac{\sqrt{40}\cdot \sqrt{40}}{2}$

Suppose lightning strikes at an average of 1.4 strikes per minute during a particular storm. You play the following game: if the

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

$3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean, λ = 1.4

Strike within next minute = $3 won

Strike between one and 2 minutes = $5

Strike more than 2 minutes = $1

Probability that next strike occurs within the next minute :

Using poisson :

P(x < 1) = 1 - e^-(λx) ;

P(x < 1) = 1 - e^-(1.4*1) = 1 - e^-1.4

P(x < 1) = 1 - 0.2465969

P(x < 1) = 0.7534030

Next strike occurs between 1 and 2 minutes :

(1 < x < 2) :

P(x < 2) - P(x < 1)

P(x < 2) = 1 - e^-(λx) ;

P(x < 2) = 1 - e^-(1.4*2) = 1 - e^-2.8

P(x < 2) = 1 - 0.0608100

P(x < 2) = 0.9391899

P(x < 2) - P(x < 1)

0.9391899 - 0.7534030 = 0.1857869

P(striking after 2 minutes)

P(x > 2) = e^-(λx) ;

P(x > 2) = e^-(1.4*2) = e^-2.8

P(x > 2) = 0.0608100

Amount charged :

(0.7534030 * 3) + (0.1857869 * 5) + (0.06081 * 1)

= 3.2499

= $3.25
