Answer:
The amount of weight he has lost in 3 months is 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we are to calculate the amount of weight he has lost in three months
1 stone = 14 pounds
Let's convert all the weight lost to stone
At the start of the diet keirin weighted 14 stone 13 pounds
14 pounds = 1 stone
13 pounds = x
Cross Multiply
14x = 13
x = 13/14
x = 0.9285714286 stone
Approximately = 0.929 stone
Hence:
14 stone 13 pounds = 14 + 0.929 = 14.929 stone
Three months later he weighted 13 stone 10 pounds
14 pounds = 1 stone
10pounds = x
Cross Multiply
14x = 10
x = 10/14
x = 0.7142857143 stone
Approximately = 0.714 stone
Hence:
13 stone 10 pounds = 13 + 0.714 = 13.714 stone
The amount of weight he has lost is calculated as:
14.929 stone - 13.714 stone = 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds
Synthetic division yields
-3 | 1 5 4 -6
. | -3 -6 6
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
. | 1 2 -2 0
which translates to
with remainder 0. Now by the quadratic formula,
and so
Part A
We have
. To solve for the x-intercept, we set f(x) equal to 0. That is
Take the square root of both sides,
The x-intercept is (-2,0).
To solve for the y-intercept, we set x=0. That is
The y-intercept is (0, 8)
The coordinates of the optimum point are actually the vertex which can be easily seen from the vertex form equation given above. The minimum point is
(-3, -1).
Part B.
We have
.
Factor out -2
Complete the square
Simplify
Part C
We have
.
The maximum height is 12.25 feet after 0.875 seconds from the time of the jump. The dolphin will be back in the water after 1.75 seconds. The graph of the jump is shown in the photo.
(5x+1)(5x+1)=25x+5x+5x+1=35x+1
The area of the square rug is (35x+1).
I may be wrong, I never was good at these types of problems.
