On a movie set, an archway is modeled by the equation y = -0.5x2 + 3x, where y is the height in feet and x is the horizontal dis

tance in feet. A laser is directed at the archway at an angle modeled by the equation -0.5x + 2.42y = 7.65 such that the beam crosses the archway at points A and B. At what height from the ground are the points A and B?

This question really just needs you to solve the system of equations.  These solutions will be the two points when the curve (archway) and the line (laser) intersect.

Let us express the laser line in terms of y.

-.5x+2.42y=7.65

2.42y=.5x+7.65

y=(.5x+7.65)/2.42

The curve is just y=-.5x^2+3x so when it intersects the curve, y=y and x=x so  we can say:

(.5x+7.65)/2.42=-.5x^2+3x

.5x+7.65=-1.21x^2+7.26x

1.21x^2-6.76x+7.65=0  using the quadratic for simplicity and solving for x:

x=(6.76±√8.6716)/2.42

x≈1.577, 4.010  (to nearest thousandth)

So the heights can found using the simple linear equation y=(.5x+7.65)/2.42 with those values of x...

y≈3.49, 3.99

What is the area of the composite figure?
Lyrx [107]

5 • 14 = 70

5 • 12 • 1/2 = 30

30 + 70 = 100

The answer is 100.

Hope this helps!

If it does then I would appreciate it if you could make me brainliest.

Rewrite in order from least to greatest 35% 3/10 37/100 0.305
seraphim [82]

Answer: 3/10 -> 0.305 -> 35% -> 37/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert it all to the same format. Let's choose decimal.

35% = 0.35

3/10 = 0.3

37/100 = 0.37

0.305 = 0.305

We then rank from least to greatest.

0.3 -> 0.305 -> 0.35 -> 0.37

Then convert back.

3/10 -> 0.305 -> 35% -> 37/100

Write the ordered pair that represents yz. Then find the magnitude of yz<br> Y(3,1), Z(0,4)
NikAS [45]

Answer:

(-3, 3),  2\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming this is a vector problem. See the graph for the vector from Y to Z (the tail is at point Y, the head is at point Z).

This vector is equivalent to one which is the same length and in the same direction with its tail at the origin.  That vector's head is at (-3, 3) -- the blue one.

To get that, subtract the tail of the original vector from the head of the original vector.

(0, 4) - (3, 1) = (0 - 3, 4 - 1) = (-3, 3)

The magnitude of the blue vector is its length.  Use the Distance Formula.

\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ \sqrt{(-3-0)^2+(3-0)^2} \\ \sqrt{9+9} \\ \sqrt{18}

This simplifies to 3\sqrt{2}

If the lesser of the two consecutive even integers is five more than half the greater, what are the two integers?
Marina CMI [18]

The integers are 12, 14.

Solution:

Let the even consecutive integers be x and x + 2.

Lesser number = x and Greater number = x + 2

Lesser number = Half of greater number + 5

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2} (x + 2) + 5

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{x + 2}{2} + 5

To add the numbers, denominators must be same. So multiply 5 by \frac{2}{2}.

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{x + 2}{2} + \frac{10}{2}

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{x + 12}{2}

Multiply by 2 on both sides, we get

⇒ 2x = x + 12

Subtract x from both sides.

⇒ x = 12

Lesser number = 12

Greater number = 12 + 2 = 14

Hence the integers are 12, 14.
