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

Explain how you would solve 5x - 3 = 9. (there should be a minimum of 2<br> complete sentences). *
SpyIntel [72]
Haha, you first start off with adding 3 to both sides, cancelling the -3, and adding it to 9. you end up with 5x=12, in which you divide both sides by 5. you get 2 and 2/5 or 12/5! hope that helps :)

A fisherman uses a spring scale to weigh a tilapia fish. He records the fish weight as a kilograms and notices that the spring s
belka [17]

Answer:

k = \frac{980a}{b}

Step-by-step explanation:

Fisherman noticed a stretch in the spring = 'b' centimetres

Weight of the fish = a kilograms

If force applied on a spring scale makes a stretch in the spring then Hook's law for the force applied is,

F = kΔx

Where k = spring constant

Δx = stretch in the spring

F = weight applied

F = mg

Here 'm' = mass of the fish

g = gravitational constant

F = a(9.8)

  = 9.8a

Δx = b centimetres = 0.01b meters

Therefore, 9.8a = k(0.01b)

k = \frac{9.8a}{0.01b}

k = \frac{980a}{b}

Therefore, spring constant of the spring will be determined by the expression, k = \frac{980a}{b}

Write the first three terms in the following sequences. Identify them as arithmetic or geometric
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

A(1)=9

A(2)=4

A(3)=-1

Arithmetic sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

A(n+1)=A(n)-5 \;for\;n\geq 1 A(1)=9

We have to find first three terms and identify the sequence is geometric or arithmetic.

Substitute n=1

Then, we get

A(2)=A(1)-5=9-5=4

For n=2

A(3)=A(2)-5=4-5=-1

For n=3

A(4)=-1-5=-6

d_1=A_2-A_1=4-9=-5

d_2=A_3-A_2=-1-4=-5

d_3=A_4-A_3=-6+1=-5

d_1=d_2=d_3=-5

When the difference of consecutive terms are constant then the sequence is arithmetic sequence.

Therefore, given sequence is arithmetic sequence.
