Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-directi

on. The first boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (1, 10), whereas the second boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (0, –7). Which system of equations can be used to determine whether the paths of the boats cross?

Answer:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

y=ax^2 +bx+c

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a

Equation:

y=ax^2 -2ax+c

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1

Solve:

c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}

Parabola equation:

y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

y=ax^2 +bx+c

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0

Equation:

y=ax^2+c

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1

Solve:

a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7

Parabola equation:

y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7

System of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.

Write an exponential function y = ab" whose graph passes through (2,12) and (5,96).
motikmotik

Answer:

y = 3(2)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given points into the function and solve for a and b

Using (2, 12)

12 = ab² → (1)

Using (5, 96)

96 = ab^{5} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

\frac{ab^5}{ab^2} = \frac{96}{12} , that is

b³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )

b = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2

Substitute b = 2 into (1) and solve for a

12 = a2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = a

Thus

y = 3(2)^{x} ← is the exponential function

Chapter 8 Written Homework 1. A hypothesis test is conducted to test the claim that the proportion of people with dark hair at M
UNO [17]

Answer:

we reject  H₀

Step-by-step explanation:  Se annex

The test is one tail-test (greater than)

Using   α = 0,05   (critical value )  from z- table we get

z(c) = 1,64

And Test hypothesis is:

H₀         Null hypothesis           μ   =  μ₀

Hₐ       Alternate hypothesis   μ   >  μ₀

Which we need to compare with z(s) = 2,19  (from problem statement)

The annex shows z(c), z(s), rejection and acceptance regions, and as we can see z(s) > z(c) and it is in the rejection region

So base on our drawing we will reject  H₀
