Answer:

The meaning of the y-intercept in this function is the start height and each second its getting smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the reason the 0.25 is negative, because it is being subtracted by the previous height.

Readme [11.4K]

The quadratic regression equation for the stream of water is y=-0.139x^{2} +1.667x {parabola}

     

Given that the water stream produced by fountain is parabola

Vertex of parabola is (6,5) , parbola is facing downward,axis of symmetry of parabola is x=6 and parabola passes through (0,0)

according to symmetry the third point on the parabola is (12,0)

General equation for a parabola⇒ Y=-4aX^{2}

⇒(y-5)=-4a(x-6)^{2}    { as the Vertex of parabola is (6,5) }

⇒(y-5)=-4a(x^{2} +36-12x)

subtituting (0,0) in the equation to get the value of a

⇒-5=-4a(36)

⇒ a=\frac{-5}{144}                      

equation of parabola⇒(y-5)=-4( \frac{5}{144})(x-6)^{2}

Therefore,The quadratic regression equation for the stream of water is y=-0.139x^{2} +1.667x

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 372 yards. If the width of the field is 87 yards, what is its length?__yards
worty [1.4K]

ANSWER

The length of the rectangular field is 99 yards

EXPLANATION

Given information

The perimeter of a rectangle field is 372 yards

The width of the field is 87 yards

To find the length of the rectangular field, follow the steps below

Step 1: Write the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangular field

\begin{gathered} \text{ The perimeter of a rectangular field = 2\lparen l + w\rparen} \\ \text{ where l =length, and w = width} \end{gathered}

Step 2: Substitute the given data into the formula in step 1

\begin{gathered} \text{ Perimeter = 2 \lparen l + w\rparen} \\ \text{ Perimeter = 372 yards} \\ \text{ width = 87 yards} \\ \text{  372 = 2\lparen l + 87\rparen} \\ \text{ Divide both sides by 2} \\ \text{ }\frac{372}{2}\text{ = }\frac{2}{2}(l\text{ + 87\rparen} \\ 186\text{ = l + 87} \\ \text{  subtract 87 from each sides of the equation} \\ \text{ 186 - 87 = l + 87 - 87} \\ \text{  99 = l} \\ l\text{ = 99 yards} \end{gathered}

Hence, the length of the rectangular field is 99 yards

If $8700 is invested at 3% annual simple interest, how much should be invested at 6% annual simple interest so that the total ye
True [87]
First off, see  how much 8700 as principal, yields at 3% APR
that is \bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$8700\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}

it will yield some amount

subtract that amount from 393
the difference is how much the yield will be on the 6% investment
so

\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\quad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$8700\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\implies \boxed{?}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{how much to invest at 6\%?}

\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
(393-\boxed{?}) = Prt\quad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$\\
r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{solve for "P", to see how much should the Principal be}\\\\
\textit{keep in mind that }P+\boxed{?}=393\leftarrow \textit{both yields added}
