a volley ball player servers the ball. The ball follows a path given by the equation y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3 where x and y are measure

d in feet and the origin is on the court directly below where the player hits the ball. for what distance from the player is the ball at least as high as the net, which is 8 ft high? if the player is 30 feet away from the net, is the ball likely to go over the net?

Answer:

(a)

Distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

The ball will go over the net

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The ball follows a path given by the equation

y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3

where

x and y are measured in feet and the origin is on the court directly below where the player hits the ball

(a)

net height is 8 ft

so, we can set y=8

and then we can solve for x

8=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3

8\cdot \:100=-0.01x^2\cdot \:100+0.5x\cdot \:100+3\cdot \:100

800=-x^2+50x+300

-x^2+50x-500=0

x^2-50x+500=0

we can use quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-50\pm \sqrt{50^2-4\left(-1\right)\left(-500\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}

x=5\left(5-\sqrt{5}\right),\:x=5\left(5+\sqrt{5}\right)

x=13.82,x=36.2

So, distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

we can plug x=30 and check whether y=8 ft

y=-0.01(30)^2+0.5(30)+3

y=9ft

we know that

height of net is 8 ft

so, the ball will go over the net

Answer:

x = 30, x = 5 and x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other, so

∠ AEB = 90° , then

3x = 90 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 30

---------------------------------------------------------

(9)

The 4 angles of a square are right and the diagonals bisect the angles, then

∠ BAC = 45° , so

9x = 45 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 5

-------------------------------------------------------

(10)

All sides are congruent , so

CD = AB , that is

3x - 5 = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 5 = 4 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 9
