The center of an ice rink is located at (0, 0) on a coordinate system measured in meters. Susan is skating along a path that can

be modeled by the equation y = 6x – x2 – 5. Luke starts at (10, –21) and skates along a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (8, –9). If the rink is a circle with a radius of 35 meters, which statement best interprets the solution(s) of a system of equations modeling the paths of the skaters?
A. The skaters’ paths intersect once, but that point is outside the rink.

B. The skaters’ paths intersect once, and that point is inside the rink.

C. The skaters’ paths intersect twice, but only one of those points is inside the rink.

D. The skaters’ paths intersect twice, and both points are inside the rink.

Answer:

Option C:The skaters path intersect twice, but only one of those points is inside the rink.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of center of ice rink: (0,0) Radius of ice rink circle = 35 m

We know that the equation of a circle with center coordinates (a,b) and radius of (r) is given as; (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

Thus, the total area on which the skaters are skating will be given by the equation;

x² + y² = 35²

Now, we are told the path along which Susan is skating is modeled by the equation: y = 6x - x² - 5

While Luke starts at (10, –21) and skates along a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (8, –9)

From equation of a parabola, the path along which like is skating can be modeled by;

(x - 8)² = 4a(y + 9)

To find a, we will substitute the coordinate started at to get;

(10 - 8)² = 4a(-21 + 9)

4 = 4a × -12

Divide both sides by 4 to get;

a = -1/12

Thus;

(x - 8)² = 4(-1/12)(y + 9)

(x - 8)² = (-1/3)(y + 9)

This gives: 3(x - 8)² = -(y + 9)

I've drawn the graph on demos and attached it.

From the graph we can see that the skaters points intersect twice but one is inside the rink circle while the other is outside the rink circle. The point at which they intersect outside the rink was slightly cropped out because of size. But it is clearly seen that they are both approaching point of intersection.

Thus, correct answer is Option C.

Which of the following points are solutions to the system of inequalities shown below?
vlada-n [284]
The following solutions to the given system of inequalities shown above would be option c : (-3, -5) option d : (0, 4)  option e. (4, 4)  and option f. <span>(2, -1) 
So how did I know the answer. To check this, you just have to substitute the values.
For example let us take option c (-3, -5)
y </span><span><  3x + 5
-5 </span><span><  3(-3) + 5
-5 </span><span><  -9 + 5
-5 </span><span><  -4 <<You see that -4 is greater than -5 which makes this inequality correct. This is the same process as with the other correct options.
Hope that this answer helps.</span>

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x + 7

perp. 1/4

y - 3 = 1/4(x + 8)

y - 3 = 1/4x + 2

y = 1/4x + 5

Jorge bought 6 large balloons for a party. This was 25% of all the balloons he bought. How many total balloons did Jorge buy sho
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The answer would be 24 balloons in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jorge bought 6 large balloons, which was 25% of ALL the balloons he bought.

Meaning that since 6 is 25% of the number 24, he bought 24 balloons in total.

PROOF:

25% * 24 = 6

24 / 6 = 4

6 * 4 = 24

.At Phil’s work, there are 12 part-time workers and 18 full-time workers. What is the ratio of part-time workers to total worker
Scrat [10]

Answer:

  2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired ratio is ...

  (part-time)/(total) = (part-time)/((part-time) +(full-time)) = 12/(12+18)

  = 12/30 = 2/5

The ratio of part-time workers to total workers is 2 : 5.
