Answer:

<6

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles have the same matching corner.

<6 has the same matching corner as <2. <6 and <2 are congruent.

Therefore, it can be concluded that <6 corresponds to <2.

A ball is thrown into the air from a height of 4 feet at time t = 0. The function that models this situation is h(t) = -16t2 + 6

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Part a) The height of the ball after 3 seconds is $49\ ft$

Part b) The maximum height is 66 ft

Part c) The ball hit the ground for t=4 sec

Part d) The domain of the function that makes sense is the interval

[0,4]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2} +63t+4$

Part a) What is the height of the ball after 3 seconds?

For t=3 sec

Substitute in the function and solve for h

$h(3)=-16(3)^{2} +63(3)+4=49\ ft$

Part b) What is the maximum height of the ball? Round to the nearest foot.

we know that

The maximum height of the ball is the vertex of the quadratic equation

so

Convert the function into a vertex form

$h(t)=-16t^{2} +63t+4$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$h(t)-4=-16t^{2} +63t$

Factor the leading coefficient

$h(t)-4=-16(t^{2} -(63/16)t)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$h(t)-4-16(63/32)^{2}=-16(t^{2} -(63/16)t+(63/32)^{2})$

$h(t)-(67,600/1,024)=-16(t^{2} -(63/16)t+(63/32)^{2})$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$h(t)-(67,600/1,024)=-16(t-(63/32))^{2}$

$h(t)=-16(t-(63/32))^{2}+(67,600/1,024)$

the vertex is the point (1.97,66.02)

therefore

The maximum height is 66 ft

Part c) When will the ball hit the ground?

we know that

The ball hit the ground when h(t)=0 (the x-intercepts of the function)

so

$h(t)=-16t^{2} +63t+4$

For h(t)=0

$0=-16t^{2} +63t+4$

using a graphing tool

The solution is t=4 sec

see the attached figure

Part d) What domain makes sense for the function?

The domain of the function that makes sense is the interval

[0,4]

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 seconds and less than or equal to 4 seconds

Remember that the time can not be a negative number

What is the value of x? <br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> x =___

Zanzabum

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows an equilateral triangle (because all angles are congruent). All sides in equilateral triangle are congruent, so

$4x-10=5x-22=3x+2$

Solve the equation

$4x-10=5x-22\\ \\4x-10-4x=5x-22-4x\\ \\-10=x-22\\ \\-10+22=x-22+22\\ \\12=x$

Check this value:

$4x-10=4\cdot 12-10=48-10=38\ units \\ \\5x-22=5\cdot 12-22=60-22=38\ units\\ \\3x+2=3\cdot 12+2=36+2=38\ units$

Thus, $x=12$

Create your own real-world example of a relation that is a function. Domain: The set of Range: The set of

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C(t)=5000 -10t

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many examples in the real world of relationships that are functions.

For example, imagine a tank full of water with a capacity of 5000 liters, this tank has a small hole, by which 10 liters of water are lost every hour.

If we call C the amount of water in the tank as a function of time, then we can write the following equation for C:

$C(t)=C_{0}-at\\$

Where:

C (t): Amount of water in the tank as a function of time

$C_{0}$ : Initial amount of water in the tank at time t = 0

a: amount of water lost per hour

t: time in hours

Then the equation is:

$C(t)=5000 -10t$

The graph of C (t) is a line of negative slope. This relation is a function since for each value of t there is a single value of C.

Its domain is the set of all positive real numbers t between [0,500]

Because the time count starts at t = 0 when the tank is full and ends at t = 500 when empty

Its Range is the set of all positive real numbers C between [0,5000] Because the amount of water in the tank can never be less than zero or greater than 5000Litres
