A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches and maximum height of 3 feet, 55 feet a

way from the player. The height y (in feet) of a second hockey puck is modeled by y=x(0.15-0.001x), where x is the horizontal distance (in feet). Compare the distances traveled by the hockey pucks before hitting the ground.

Answer:

Distance traveled by hockey puck of second player is 40 feet more than that of first player.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum height of 3 feet is attained by the hockey puck of first player is when the puck is 55 feet away from the player.

It is at the mid point of the total horizontal distance to be traveled by the hockey puck.

So, the horizontal distance traveled by hockey puck of first player = 55 + 55 = 110 feet

Second player:

y=x(0.15-0.001x)

where y is the height of a second hockey puck

x is the horizontal distance.

When the puck hits the ground, y=0

Now, let us find the value of x.

\Rightarrow 0=x(0.15-0.001x)

At x=0 feet or x=150 feet, y=0

Therefore, the distance traveled by second hockey puck is 150 feet.

So, the answer is:

<em>Distance traveled by hockey puck of second player is 40 feet more than that of first player.</em>

A circle is centered on point B, Points A, C and D lie on its circumference. if ABC measures 46 degrees, what does ADC measures?
den301095 [7]
Answer: 23 degrees

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

Explanation:

Using the inscribed angle theorem we can connect the central angle ABC and the inscribed angle ADC. The reason why is because they both cut off the minor arc AC

Angle ABC is given to be 46 degrees, the formula we use is shown below

central angle = 2*(inscribed angle)
angle ABC = 2*(angle ADC)
46 = 2*(angle ADC)
46/2 = 2*(angle ADC)/2 ... divide both sides by 2
23 = angle ADC
angle ADC = 23 degrees

Find the sum of the geometric sequence –3, 15, –75, 375, … when there are 8 terms
arlik [135]
First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.

a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5

Then, we can find the sum by the expression:

S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313

The graph below shows two polynomial functions, f(x) and g(x):
neonofarm [45]
The answer is '<span>f(x) is an odd degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient'.

An odd degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient will have the graph go towards negative infinity as x goes towards negative infinity, and go towards infinity as x goes towards infinity.

An even degree polynomial with a negative leading coefficient will have the graph go towards infinity as x goes toward negative infinity, and go towards negative infinity as x goes toward infinity.

g(x) would have a a positive leading coefficient with an even degree, as the graph goes towards infinity as x goes towards either negative or positive infinity.

Answer:

y = 1        m = -3       b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b                          y = -3x + 1

y = 1

m = -3

b = 1
