Answer:

A) h(2.4) is 2.53

B) The numerical value of the vertical intercept is 5.8

C) The numerical value of the vertex is (\frac{60}{113},\frac{3439}{565})

D) The shot put strike the ground at x = 2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The path of the longest shot put is modeled by

  h(x)= -1.017x² + 1.08x + 5.8, where x is the horizontal distance from

  start and h(x) is the height of the shot put above the ground

A)

- We need to find h(2.4), that means substitute x in the equation by 2.4

∵ h(x)= -1.017x² + 1.08x + 5.8

∵ x = 2.4

∴ h(2.4)= -1.017(2.4)² + 1.08(2.4) + 5.8 = 2.53

∴ h(2.4) = 2.53

* h(2.4) is 2.53

B)

- We need to find the numerical value of the vertical intercept

- That means the y-intercept of the graph of the path ⇒ h(0)

- To find the vertical intercept put x = 0 in the equation

∴ h(0) = 0 + 0 + 5.8

* The numerical value of the vertical intercept is 5.8

C)

- We need to find the numerical value of the vertex

∵ h(x)= -1.017x² + 1.08x + 5.8 is a quadratic function

∴ The coordinates of its vertex are (v , w), where v \frac{-b}{2a}

   and w = h(v), a is the coefficient of x² and b is the coefficient of x

∵ a = -1.017 and b = 1.08

∴ v = \frac{-1.08}{2(-1.017)}=\frac{60}{113}

∵ w = f(v)

∴ w = -1.017(\frac{60}{113})^{2}+1.08(\frac{60}{113}) + 5.8=\frac{3439}{565}

* The numerical value of the vertex is (\frac{60}{113},\frac{3439}{565})

D)

- We need to find how far from start the shot put strike the ground

- That means h(x) = 0, because the height at the ground = 0

∴ -1.017x² + 1.08x + 5.8 = 0

- Use your calculator to find the value of x

∴ x = 2.977 and x = -1.915

- We will ignore the negative value of x because we need the final

 put strike on the ground from the start

∴ x = 2.98

* The shot put strike the ground at x = 2.98

The ratio of boys to girls in Ms. smith’s class is 3 to 4. If there are 12 boys, how many girls are there?

                  Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ There will be 16 girls.

The relationship is x4. If we multiply 3 x 4, we get 12. What we do to one number we do to the other so 4 x 4 = 16.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Mandy travels more miles.</u>

We determine this by multiplying the distance from home by the number of trips.

For Mandy, she lives 10 miles away from school, and takes 9 trips. 9 times 10 is 90 miles.

For Matt, he lives 8 miles away from school, and takes 11 trips. 11 times 8 is 88 miles.

Many travels 2 more miles in total than Matt.

MATH.... TRIANGLE JKL HAS VERTICES...
7nadin3 [17]
<h3>Answer: Choice (d)</h3>

Explanation:

To reflect over the y axis, we apply this rule

(x,y) \to (-x,y)

which says to flip the sign of the x term but keep the y coordinate the same.

So that means something like J(-2,5) becomes J ' (2, 5). The other points are handled in the same fashion and that leads us to choice (d). Points on the y axis will stay where they are.
