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

Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence −15, −33, −51, −69, .... An equation for the nth term of the
stira [4]

Given:

The arithmetic sequence is −15, −33, −51, −69.

To find:

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

Solution:

We have,

−15, −33, −51, −69

Here,

First term: a = -15

Common difference is

d = -33-(-15)

d = -33+15

d = -18

Now, nth term  of an arithmetic sequence is

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Substitute a=-15 and d=-18.

a_n=-15+(n-1)(-18)

a_n=-15-18n+18

a_n=-18n+3

Therefore, the nth term of the given arithmetic sequence is a_n=-18n+3.

For altitudes up to 36,000 feet, the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The equation for a is a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)

The altitute is 101,428.57 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric  temperature can be described by the formula

t = -0.0035a +g

where:

  • t is the atmospheric  temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
  • a is the altitude, in feet, at which the atmospheric temperature is  measured
  • g is the ground temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Solving the equation for a:

-0.0035a +g=t

-0.0035a= t - g

a=\frac{t-g}{-0.0035}

a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)

<u><em>The equation for a is </em></u>a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)<u><em></em></u>

If the atmospheric temperature is -305 °F and the ground temperature is 50 °F, then t= -305 °F and g= 50 °F

Replacing in the equation for a you get:

a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-305-50)

a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-355)

a= 101,428.57

<u><em>The altitute is 101,428.57 feet</em></u>
