Vector a = (2, 1, 2)
Vector b = (1, 2, 4)
Vector p = (k, k, k)

Vector a to vector b = vector b - vector a = (1, 2, 4) - (2, 1, 2) = (1 - 2, 2 - 1, 4 - 2) = (-1, 1, 2)
Vector a to vector p = vector p - vector a = (k, k, k) - (2, 1, 2) = (k - 2, k - 1, k - 2)

Vector a to b is perpendicular to vector a to p if the dot product of vector a to vector b and vector a to vector p is equal to zero.
i.e. (-1, 1, 2) . (k - 2, k - 1, k - 2) = 0
-1(k - 2) + (k - 1) + 2(k - 2) = 0
-k + 2 + k - 1 + 2k - 4 = 0
2k -3 = 0
2k = 3
k = 3/2

The ball followed a path modelled by the equation h = −0.001! + 0.5 + 2.5 where h is the height of the ball in feet and is the h
Mama L [17]

The heights the balls hit a fence at 350 ft distance are 65 feet, 38 feet and 30 feet, respectively

<h3>Represent the distance-height relationship for each player’s ball as an equation, in a table and on a graph. </h3>

<u>Juan</u>

Juan's equation is given as:

h = -0.001d^2 + 0.5d + 2.5

h =

Set d to multiples of 50 from 0 to 400.

So, the table of values of Juan's function is:

d (ft)                   h(ft)

0                          2.5

50                        25

100                      42.5

150                        55

200                      62.5

250                        65

300                      62.5

350                        65

400                      42.5

See attachment for the graph of Juan's function

<u>Mark</u>

A quadratic function is represented as:

h = ad^2 + bd + c

Using the values on the table of values, we have:

c = 3 -- the constant value

So, the equation becomes

h = ad^2 + bd + 3

Using the two other values on the table of values, we have:

23 = a(50)^2 + b(50) + 3

38 = a(100)^2 + b(100) + 3

Using a graphing tool, we have:

a = -0.001

b = 0.45

So, Mark's equation is h(d) = -0.001d^2 + 0.45d + 3

See attachment for Mark's graph.

<u>Barry</u>

From the graph, we have the table of values of Barry's function to be:

d (ft)                   h(ft)

0                          2.5

50                        21

100                      35

150                       44

200                      48

250                       46

300                      41

350                       30

400                      14

450                      0

Using a graphing tool, we have the quadratic function to be:

y = -0.001x^2 +0.4x +2.5

<h3><u>The shortest and the greatest distance before hitting the ground</u></h3>

From the graphs, equations and tables, the distance travelled by the balls are:

Juan = 505 feet

Mark = 457 feet

Barry = 450 feet

This means that Juan's ball would travel the greatest distance while Barry's ball would travel the shortest.

<h3>The height the balls hit a fence at 350 ft distance</h3>

To do this, we set d = 350

From the graphs, equations and tables, the height at 350 ft by the balls are:

Juan = 65 feet

Mark = 38 feet

Barry = 30 feet

The above represents the height the balls hit the fence

A total of 597 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 53 fewer stu
Elena L [17]

Answer:

325

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of adult tickets sold is half the total plus half the difference, so is ...

... (597 +53)/2 = 325

_____

You can write an equation for the number of adult tickets (a) as ...

... a + (a -53) = 597

... 2a = 597 +53 . . . . . simplify, add 53

... a = 650/2 = 325 . . divide by 2
