Sarina throws a ball up into the air, and it falls on the ground nearby. The ball's height, in feet, is modeled by the function

ƒ(x) = –x2 – x + 3, where x represents time in seconds. What's the height of the ball when Sarina throws it? Question 4 options: A) 4 feet B) 1 foot C) 3 feet D) 2 feet

Answer:

(C) 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a function of f(x) here. When Sarina throws the ball, it has been 0 seconds since she threw it.

Since x represents the amount of seconds, we can find the height of the ball (f(x)) by substituting x in as 0.

-0^2 - 0 + 3

0 squared is 0, 0 minus zero is 0, and 0+3 = 3, so

f(x) = 3

Meaning that when Sarina threw the ball, it's height was 3 feet.

Hope this helped!

Two students are reading a novel. Ashley reads 10 pages per day. Carly reads 8 pages per day, but she starts early and is alread
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The word per indicates the slope (m) of a linear function, y=mx +b.Using d for x and p for y , the equation representing Ashely's reading is p = 10d. Carly begins on page  40 which represents b, the y intercept of a linear function which indicates an initial amount.  So the equation representing Carly's reading is p=8d + 40.

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-3,3) and (4,4).
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient or slope of a straight line which is found between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Where y2 = 7

y1 = 3

x2 = 4

x1 = 2

=> m = (7 - 3) / (4 - 2)

m = 4 / 2 = 2

The gradient is 2.

Electric saw A cuts planks at a uniform rate of 150 every 30 seconds, and Electric saw B cuts planks at a uniform rate of 130 ev
aleksley [76]

Saw A = 150 planks/30 seconds = 5 planks per second

Saw B = 130 planks/ 13 seconds = 10 planks per seconds

5 + 10 = 15 planks per second total

225 planks / 15 planks per second = 15 seconds

Answer: 15 seconds
