A ball is thrown vertically in the air with an initial velocity of 60 feet per second from an initial height of 6 feet. The equa

tion describing the height of the ball at any time is s = -16t^2 +60t+6.
1. how long did it take for the ball to reach its height point?
2. How high did the ball go?

Answer:

  1. 1.875 seconds to reach the maximum height
  2. 62.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be solved by putting the equation into vertex form.

  s - 6 = -16(t^2 -15/4t)

  s -6 -16(15/8)^2 = -16(t^2 -15/4t +(15/8)^2) . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses and equivalent amount on the other side of the equation

  s -62.25 = -16(t -15/8)^2 . . . . write as a square, simplify the constant

  s = -16(t -1.875)^2 +62.25 . . . . put in vertex form

The vertex of the downward-opening parabola is at (t, s) = (1.875, 62.25).

1. It took 1.875 seconds for the ball to reach its maximum height.

2. The ball went up to 62.25 feet.

A data set of 27 different numbers has a mean of 33 and a median of 33. A new data set is
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a set of N values:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The median is the value in the middle, and the mean is calculated as:

M = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + x_3 ... + x_n)}{N}

Because here we have "the median" then we will assume that N is odd, and there is only one median, the value "k"  (if N was even, the median would be the mean of the two middle values, that case is really similar to the case where N is odd, so solving only one of the cases is enough)

Now we add 7 to all the values greater than the median

We subtract 7 to all values smaller than the median.

Then the median remains unchanged (because we did not add nor subtract anything to the median).

The new mean will be:

M' = \frac{(x_1 - 7) + (x_2 - 7) + ... + (x_{k}) + ... + (x_n + 7)}{N} = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n) + (-7)*(n/2 - 0.5) + 7*(n/2 - 0.5)}{N}  = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n)}{N} = M

So the mean does not change.

Because the mean is computed as the sum of the numbers divided by N, and the mean does not change, and N does not change, then the sum of the numbers does not change.

Finally, the standard deviation is computed as:

SD = \sqrt{\frac{(x_1 - M)^2 + ... + (xn - M)^2}{N} }

Because M does not change, if we add or subtract numbers to some of the values, the standard deviation will change (Because all the terms are squared, so the added and subtracted sevens don't cancel like in the previous cases)

Then the only value that does not have the same value in both the original and new data sets is the standard deviation.
