A) P( Jordan finishes before Jacobs)= 2/5 = 0.40
P( Jacobs finishes before Julia) = 3/5 = 0.60
P(Jordan finishes before Jacobs AND before Julia) = 0.40 x 0.60 = 0.24

b)P( Jordan finishes before Jacobs)= 2/5 = 0.40 (already calculated

An archers arrow follows a parabolic path. The height of the f(x) is given by f(x) =-16x^2+200x+4 in feet. Find the maximum heig

diamong [38]

Maximum of function $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ where $a \neq 0$ you can find by using this formula: $y_{\max}= - \dfrac{\Delta}{4a}=-\dfrac{b^2-4ac}{4a}=\dfrac{4ac-b^2}{4a}=c-\dfrac{b^2}{4a}$

In height function you've got:

a= -16
b= 200
c= 4

Just substitute! You'll get

$y_{\max} = 4 - \dfrac{200^2}{4 \cdot (-16)}=4-\dfrac{40 \ 000}{-64}=4+\dfrac{40 \ 000}{64}=4+625=629$

Maximum height is 629 [units]

Solve the following system: 5x + 4y = 6 -2x – 3y = -1

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

$\left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {x=2}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left \{ {{5x+4y=6} \atop {-2x-3y=-1}} \right. \left \{ {{10x+8y=12} \atop {-10x-15y=-5}} \right. \left \{ {{-7y=7} \atop {-10x-15y=-5}} \right. \left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {-10x-15y=-5}} \right. \left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {-10x+15=-5}} \right. \left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {-10x=-20}} \right. => \left \{ {{y=-1} \atop {x=2}} \right.$
