The height h (in feet) of an object dropped from a ledge after x seconds can be modeled by h(x)=−16x2+36 . The object is dropped

again from a different starting height so that it hits the ground 0.5 seconds sooner. Write a function f that models the path of the object the second time it is dropped.

Check the picture below.

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity in feet} \\\\ h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\textit{initial velocity}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h_o=\textit{initial height}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h=\textit{object's height}&\\ \qquad \textit{at "t" seconds} \end{cases}

so the object hits the ground when h(x) = 0, hmmm how long did it take to hit the ground the first time anyway?

\bf h(x)=-16x^2+36\implies \stackrel{h(x)}{0}=-16x^2+36\implies 16x^2=36 \\\\\\ x^2=\cfrac{36}{16}\implies x^2 = \cfrac{9}{4}\implies x=\sqrt{\cfrac{9}{4}}\implies x=\cfrac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x = \cfrac{3}{2}~~\textit{seconds}

now, we know the 2nd time around it hit the ground, h(x) = 0, but it took less time, it took 0.5 or 1/2 second less, well, the first time it took 3/2, if we subtract 1/2 from it, we get 3/2 - 1/2  = 2/2 = 1, so it took only 1 second this time then, meaning x = 1.

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity in feet} \\\\ h(x) = -16x^2+v_ox+h_o \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\textit{initial velocity}&0\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h_o=\textit{initial height}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h=\textit{object's height}&0\\ \qquad \textit{at "t" seconds}\\ x=\textit{seconds}&1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 0=-16(1)^2+0x+h_o\implies 0=-16+h_o\implies 16=h_o \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill h(x) = -16x^2+16~\hfill

quick info:

in case you're wondering what's that pesky -16x² doing there, is gravity's pull in ft/s².

Any of these please I’m having difficulty
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

864 squared meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.  The scale between 270 and 360 should be the same as 648 to the fourth yard.

\frac{270}{360} = \frac{648}{x}\\270x = (360)(648)\\270x = 233280\\x = 864 m^2

The weights of soy patties sold by Veggie Burgers Delight are normally distributed. A random sample of 15 patties yields a mean
Elden [556K]

Answer:

t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549    

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=3.8 represent the sample mean

s=0.5 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample  

n=15 sample size  

\mu_o =4 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean weight is less than 4 ounces, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 68  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 4  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549
