Answer:

Maximum height is 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The complete question is as follows:

" The height of a small rise in a roller coaster track is modeled by f(x) = –0.07x^2 + 0.42x + 6.37, where x is the distance in feet from a supported at ground level.

Find the greatest height of the rise "

- To find any turning points ( minimum or maximum ) points of a trajectory expressed as function of independent parameter, we find the critical points of the trajectory where the first derivative of the dependent variable w.rt independent variable is set to zero.

- In our case the height of the roller coaster track (y) is function of the distance (x) from a supported pole at ground level.

                    f(x) = –0.07x^2 + 0.42x + 6.37

- Now set the first derivative equal to zero, and determine the critical values of x:

                    0 =  -0.14x + 0.42

                    x = 0.42 / 0.14 = 3 ft

- The critical value for the coaster track is at point 3 feet away from the supported pole at ground level. So the height f(x) at x = 3 ft, would be:

                    f ( x = 3 ) = max height

                    max height =  –0.07*3^2 + 0.42*3 + 6.37

                                        = 7 ft

A seller has a house that is 1700 ft^2. The neighborhood comps show the line of best fit to be y=0.074x + 50.48. What is a fair
natita [175]
Let the price for the house be x and the square feet of the house be y,
when the house is 1700 sq ft, y = 1700.

y = 0.074x + 50.48
1700 = 0.074x + 50.48
0.074x = 1700 - 50.48
0.074x = 1649.52
x = 22 290.81 (to the nearest cent)

A fair price for this house would be $22 290.81.

The table shows the Grades that students received on a test what fraction of the students scored an A or B on the test
Triss [41]
Okay. So, 15% is 15/100 and 33% is 33/100. 15 + 33 is 48. You leave the denominator the same, so the fraction is 48/100. However, the fraction needs to be simplified. Whatever you do to the numerator, we must do to the denominator. We can divide both numbers by 4 to get the simplified fraction form. 48/4 is 12. 100/4 is 25. There. The simplified fraction is 12/25. The answer is H: 12/25.

What is the result of isolating y2 in the equation below? 9x2 + 7y2 = 42
ElenaW [278]
First, move 9x^2 to the right:

7y^2 = 42 - 9x^2

Then, divide 7 on both sides:

y^2 = 6 - 9/7 * x^2
