Given points (5,102) (4,74) and (-2,-10)

We frame 3 equations using the given points

y=ax^2+bx+c

Plug in (5,102)

102=a(5)^2+b(5)+c

102 = 25a +5b + c -------> first equation

Plug in (4,74)

74=a(4)^2+b(4)+c

74 = 16a +4b + c----> second equation

Plug in  (-2,-10)

-10=a(-2)^2+b(-2)+c

-10 = 4a -2b + c -----> third equation

Now we use the three equation and solve for a,b,c

Use first and second equation and subtract it

102 = 25a +5b + c

-74 = -16a -4b - c

----------------------------------

28 = 9a + b  --------------> fourth equation

Subtract third equation from first equation

102 = 25a +5b + c

10  = -4a +2b - c

----------------------------------

112 = 21a + 7b --------------> fifth equation

Use fourth and fifth equation

28 = 9a + b

112 = 21a + 7b

Multiply the fourth equation by -7

-196= -63a -7b

112 = 21a + 7b

-----------------------

-84 = -42a

Divide by -42 on both sides

a= 2

Plug in the value of a=2 in fourth equation

28 = 9a + b

28 = 9(2) + b

28 = 18 + b ( subtract 18 from both sides)

b = 10

Plug in the values in third equation and find out c

-10 = 4a -2b + c

-10= 4(2) -2(10)+c

-10 = -12 + c

c= 2

We got a=2, b=10  and c=2

So equation becomes y=2x^2+10x+2

A forest ranger spots a fire from a 115 meter tall tower. The angle of depression from the forest ranger to the fire is 28o. Wha
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

61.15 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry :

Tan x = opposite / Adjacent

x = 28°

Tan 28 = distance from base to fire / height

0.5317094 = distance from base to fire / 115

distance from base to fire = 115 * 0.5317094

distance from base to fire = 61.15 m

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=- \dfrac{1}{\left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = \ln{\left(\dfrac{x + 1}{x - 1}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}

using the properties of log we can take the power 1/2 and multiply it.

y = \dfrac{1}{2}\ln{\left(\dfrac{x + 1}{x - 1}\right)

now we can differentiate:

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{\left(\dfrac{x + 1}{x - 1}\right)}\left(\dfrac{d}{dx}\left(\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}\right)\right)

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{x - 1}{x + 1}\right)\left(- \dfrac{2}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2}}\right)

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=- \dfrac{1}{\left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right)}

this is our answer!

Martin runs 100 meters in 15 seconds. What is the equation for d, the distance in meters that Martin covers per second?
Marizza181 [45]
The answer is d x 15 =100

In order to get the value of d, you must transpose the constant 15 to the left side of the equation.

It can also be written like this:

15d = 100

Divide both sides by 15:

15d / 15 =100/15

d = 6.667 meters per second

Give examples of a 100% increase, 100%<br> decrease, and 100% error. Explain each.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

100% increase from 100 is 200, the difference is 100.

100% decrease from 100 is 0, the difference is -100

error means that you were quite a long way off from the true value.
