Answer:

Part A) The potato hit the ground at t=5.70 seconds (see the explanation)

Part B) The potato is 40 feet off the ground at the time t=5.28 seconds (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h(t)=-16t^2+80t+64$

where

h(t) is the height of a potato in feet

t is the time in seconds

Part A) Write an equation that can be solved to find when the potato hits the ground. Then solve the equation

we know that

When the potato hit the ground, the value of h(t) must be equal to zero

For h(t)=0

$-16t^2+80t+64=0$

Solve the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+80t+64=0$

$a=-16\\b=80\\c=64$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{80^{2}-4(-16)(64)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-80+\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}=-0.70$

$t=\frac{-80-\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}=5.70$

therefore

The potato hit the ground at t=5.70 seconds

Part B) Write an equation that can be solved to find when the potato is 40 feet off the ground. Then solve the equation

For h(t)=40 ft

substitute in the quadratic equation

$-16t^2+80t+64=40$

$-16t^2+80t+24=0$

Solve the quadratic equation

we have

$a=-16\\b=80\\c=24$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{80^{2}-4(-16)(24)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-80+\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}=-0.28$

$t=\frac{-80-\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}=5.28$

therefore

The potato is 40 feet off the ground at the time t=5.28 seconds

Your answer would be 4379 members because at the very beginning you had started off with 4372 members, however as the months go by changes happen. On october, it changed by -10, meaning that 10 students left the school meaning 4372-10=4362 members remaining. Then there's november with -8, so you subtract 8 from your new total 4362-8=4354. Then december comes, and this time it's a positive number, so you have to add 23 to 4354, giving you a new total of 4377. Then there's january, and its back to a negative number so you subtract 12 from 4377, 4377-12=4365. Then february comes and it's a change of a positive number, so you add 3 to the 4365, giving you 4368. And then finally by march, it's another positive number so you add 11 to your total, giving you 4379 students which are now at school. So basically if it's a negative change, subtract from the total, and if it is a positive, add to it. And you have to continue with the total that you got from the previous change that you did.

The value of x is . I cant find any answers on this

GenaCL600 [577]

The angle that is next to 9x should be 180 - 9x because it is a straight angle.

Since there are 180 degrees in an angle we can add up the values to 180 and solve for x.

180- 9x + 5x + 9 + x = 180
-3x = -9
x = 3

Hope this helped!

Can someone please Compare and contrast a line graph to a pie graph and the first one to submit an answer gets brainiest

lara31 [8.8K]

Line graphs can be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group. Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show changes over time.

Need help in number 12 and 13 PLEASEE!! I don’t get it and I start school the day after tomorrow

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The explanations for the graphs are provided down below. Please let me know if you have any questions about my answer.

12 and 13 as written on the worksheet is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

12) The answer given is correct.

The relation between x and y is given as:

$y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3$ with $x \in \{-4,-2,0,2}$ .

I replaced the word domain with x since the domain is the set of x's for which the relation exists.

We are going to replace x with each of the x's given to see what y corresponds to each.

Let's begin with x=-4.

$y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3$ with $x=-4$ :

$y=\frac{(-4)^2}{2}-3$

$y=\frac{16}{2}-3$

$y=8-3$

$y=5$ .

So (-4,5) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left 4 from origin then up 5. Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph does show this point.

Moving on.

Let's do the next x: x=-2.

$y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3$ with $x=-2$ :

$y=\frac{(-2)^2}{2}-3$

$y=\frac{4}{2}-3$

$y=2-3$

$y=-1$ .

So (-2,-1) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left 2 from origin and then down 1. Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph shows this point as well.

Now x=0.

$y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3$ with $x=0$ :

$y=\frac{0^2}{2}-3$

$y=\frac{0}{2}-3$

$y=0-3$

$y=-3$

So (0,-3) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left and right none and down 3. Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph shows this point.

Now the last point will be at x=2.

$y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3$ with $x=2$

$y=\frac{2^2}{2}-3$

$y=\frac{4}{2}-3$

$y=2-3$

$y=-1$ .

So (2,-1) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move 2 units right from the origin and then down 1 unit. Now put a dot where you landed. The graph shows this point as well.

13) The answer given is correct.

$g(x)=|x|$ is the parent function and makes like a V shaped graph where it's vertex is at (0,0).

If we want to move this graph right 3 it becomes:

$m(x)=|x-3| \text{ or } m(x)=|(-1)(-x+3)|=|-1||-x+3|=1|-x+3|=|-x+3|=|3-x|$ .

If you move that up once it becomes:

$n(x)=|x-3|+1$ or $n(x)=|3-x|+1$ which is the curve given.

If you don't know about transformations you can choose a few points to plug in to see what's going on with the graph.

Let's choose x=-5,-3,-1,0,1,3,5.

x=-5

f(-5)=|3--5|+1=|3+5|+1=|8|+1=8+1=9.

There is no room for (-5,9) on our graph but if you extended the left hand side of the absolute value function there you would see that (-5,9) is reached.

x=-3

f(-3)=|3--3|+1=|3+3|+1=|6|+1=6+1=7.

(-3,7) should be a point on the graph. Same thing for this point as (-5,9).

x=-1

f(-1)=|3--1|+1=|3+1|+1=|4|+1=4+1=5.

(-1,5) is located on the graph.

x=0

f(0)=|3-0|+1=|3|+1=3+1=4.

(0,4) is also located on the graph.

x=1

f(1)=|3-1|+1=|2|+1=2+1=3.

(1,3) is located on the graph.

x=3

f(3)=|3-3|+1=|0|+1=0+1=1.

(3,1) is located on the graph.

x=5

f(5)=|3-5|+1=|-2|+1=2+1=3.

(5,3) is located on the graph.

Now if we weren't given the graph already:

I would plot the points I found which were:

(-5,9)

(-3,7)

(-1,5)

(0,4)

(1,3)

(3,1)

(5,3)

We should get a basic idea of what the function looks like from these points.

I will graph them. You will have to connect these points because the domain isn't discrete like number 12 is. That is they didn't list out elements for the domain.

I'm going to graph one more point after x=5.

How about x=7?

$f(7)=|3-7|+1=|-4|+1=4+1=5$
