Jordan lives 6 kilometers due south of his parents' house and 4 kilometers west of his grandparents' house. On his birthday, Jor

dan drove from his house to his parents' house. From there, he drove in a straight line to his grandparents' house and then back home. How far did Jordan drive on his birthday? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of Jordan on his birthday forms a right angle triangle. His movement from his house to his parents due south represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. His movement due west represents the adjacent side and the movement back home along the straight line, d represents the hypotenuse. To determine d, we would apply the Pythagorean theorem. Thus

d² = 6² + 4² = 52

d = √52 = 7.2 km

The total distance that he drove on his birthday is

6 + 4 + 7.2 = 17.2 km

(HELP ASAP) Kite EFGH is inscribed in a rectangle where F and H are midpoints of parallel sides.
Reika [66]
Let's say that FH and EG intersection is O,
So we have the following:
OF = 2
OH = 5

Just because F and H are midpoints it means that EO = OG = x
And as it's given the area S=35

On the other hand
S = OF*OG/2 + OG*OH/2 + OH*OE/2 + OE*OF/2 = 2*x/2 + x*5/2 + 5*x/2 + x*2/2 = 2*x + 5*x = 7*x = 35

7x = 35 so x = 35/7 = 5

Answer: 5 units

A batch consists of 12 defective coils and 88 good ones. Find the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are rando
Allushta [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected if the first selection is replaced before the second is made is 0.7744  

<u>Solution:</u>

Total number of coils = number of good coils + defective coils = 88 + 12 = 100

p(getting two good coils for two selection) = p( getting 2 good coils for first selection ) \times p(getting 2 good coils for second selection)

p(first selection) = p(second selection) = \frac{\text { number of good coils }}{\text { total number of coils }}

Hence, p(getting 2 good coil for two selection) = \frac{88}{100} \times \frac{88}{100} =\bold{0.7744}

Find the quadratic function y=​f(x) whose graph has a vertex ​(−3​,4​) and passes through the point ​(−7​,0). Write the function
olganol [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabola since a quadratic is a parabola.  The standard form for a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c

but before we do that, we will use the vertex form, since it will make our work easier at the beginning.  

First and foremost, when we plot the vertex and the given point, the vertex is higher up than is the point; that means that this parabola opens upside down, and its vertex form will be

y=-|a|(x - h)² + k

The absolute value is out in front of the a, so we know that the value of a is positive, but the quadratic itself is negative (upside down) and we will find that math takes care of that negative that needs to be out front.  So we need to solve for a by filling in the x, y, h, and k values from the point and the vertex:  x = -7, y = 0, h = -3, k = 4

0 = a(-7 - (-3))² + 4 and

0 = a(-7 + 3)² + 4 and

0 = a(-4)² + 4 and

0 = a(16) + 4 and

0 = 16a + 4 and

-4 = 16a so

a=-\frac{1}{4}

Now that we know a, we can plug it back into the vertex form and then put it into standard form from there.

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x+3)^2+4

Now we will FOIL out what's inside the parenthesis to get

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x^2+6x+9)+4

Simplify by distributing the -1/4 into the parenthesis:

y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{9}{4}+4

Combine like terms to get

y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{7}{4}

And there you go!

Which function models the area of a rectangle with side lengths of 2x - 4 units and x + 1 units?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Area of rectangle, f(x)=2x^2-2x-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with side lengths of a rectangle are (2x-4) units and (x+1) units. It is required to find the area of rectangle.

The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and breadth. It is given by :

A=L\times B

Let us consider, L = (2x-4) units and B = (x+1) units

Plugging the side lengths in above formula:

A=(2x-4)\times (x+1)

A=2x^2+2x-4x-4\\\\A=2x^2-2x-4

So, the function that models the area of a rectangle is f(x)=2x^2-2x-4.
