Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rock ,(s), in feets after t seconds is given by the function

S = −16t^2 + 24t + 3

The given function is a quadratic equation. If values of height attained is plotted against time, the shape of the graph will be a parabola whose vertex would correspond to the maximum height obtained by the object.

Vertex of the parabola = -b/2a

a = - 16

b = 24

Vertex = - 24/- 16×2 = 24/32

Vertex = 0.75

So the maximum height is 0.75 feet

To determine the time at which it will reach a maximum height of 0.75, we will substitute s = 0.75 into the equation.

S = −16t^2 + 24t + 3

0.75 = −16t^2 + 24t + 3

−16t^2 + 24t + 2.25 = 0

Applying the general formula for quadratic equation,

t = b ± √b^2 - (4ac)]/2a

a = -16

b = 24

c = 2.25

t = - 24 ± √24^2 - 4(-16 × 2.25)]/2×-16

t = - 24 ± √(576  + 144)]/-32

t = - 24 ± √(720)/-32

t = (- 24 ± 26.83)/-32

t = 2.83/-32 or t = -50.83 /-32

t = - 0.088 or t = 1.588

The time cannot be negative so,

The time take to reach maximum height is 1.588 seconds

Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimeters,
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Probability that the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is 0.3594.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimetres, and a standard deviation of 7.

A random sample of 39 steel bolts is selected.

Let \bar X = <u><em>sample mean diameter</em></u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                            Z  =  \frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean diameter = 141 millimetres

           \sigma = standard deviation = 7 millimetres

           n = sample of steel bolts = 39

Now, Percentage the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is given by = P(\bar X > 141.4 millimetres)

      P(\bar X > 141.4) = P( \frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  } } > \frac{141.4-141}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{39} }  } } ) = P(Z > 0.36) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.36)

                                                            = 1 - 0.6406 = <u>0.3594</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.36 in the z table which has an area of 0.6406.

What are the center and radius f the circle with equation xthe power of 2 +y power of 2 -4x -6y +8=0
Dovator [93]
<span>x² +y² -4x -6y +8=0
(x² -4x) +(y² -6y) = -8
We are going to complete square for x and y,
it should look like a²+2ab+b² = (a +b)², or </span>a²-2ab+b² = (a -b)²,
<span>
(x²-2*2x+2²) -2² + (y²-2*3y +3²)-3²=- 8
(x-2)²+(y-3)²-4-9=-8
</span>(x-2)²+(y-3)²=-8+13
(x-2)²+(y-3)²=5

Raquel and Van live in two different cities. As part of a project, they each record the lowest prices for a gallon of gas at gas
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the information given, the average or mean lowest prices and standard deviations for the two cities are given. The standard deviation is a measure of variability. It is used to determine how far the values in the data are from the mean. A lower standard deviation means that the values are closer to the mean. A higher standard deviation means that the values are farther from the mean.

Since 0.07 is lower than 0.23, the correct statement that is true about their gas-price data is

Raquel's data are most likely closer to $3.42 than Van's data are to $3.78.
