While on the golf course last weekend Marc hit into the rough landing the ball behind a tall tree. His best option was to get it

high enough to get over the tree and hopefully come down in the fairway for his next shot. So with a mighty swing he hit the ball into the air and was surprised to see the ball hit near the top of a 300 foot tall tower that he had not noticed. The formula for this shot is: h(x)= -16x^2+120 where h is the height of the ball and x is the number of seconds the ball is in the air.
Question 1. How high did Marc actually hit the ball?

Later during that same golf outing, Marc decided to show off by trying to hit the green in one shot. So with his macho swing, he said he hit the green as the ball hung in the air for 15 seconds. The formula for this shot is: h(x)= -16x^2+200x

Question 2. How long did the ball actually hang in the air?

Answer:

120 ft at 0 seconds

Question 2: 12.5 seconds in the air

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)= -16x^2+120

We want to find the vertex

The vertex is at

h = -b/2a = 0/-32 = 0

The maximum is at 0

h(0) = 0+120 = 120

it occurs at 0 seconds and a height of 120 ft

h(x)= -16x^2+200x

We want to find the zeros of the function

0= -16x^2+200x

Factor out  -8x

0 = -8x(2x -25)

Using the zero product property

-8x=0       2x-25 =0

x =0       2x =25

               x=25/2

The ball starts on the ground   at 0 seconds and lands at 12.5 seconds

Find the coordinates of the circumcenter of the triangle with the given vertices. X(-2, 1), Y(2, -3), Z(6, -3).
lana [24]

Answer:

C (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to find the circumcenter:

1) Find and Calculate the midpoint of given coordinates or midpoints.

2) Calculate the slope of the perpendicular bisector lines

3) By using the midpoint and the slope, find out the equation of the line

( y-y_1 )= m(x-x_1)

4) Do the same for another line

Solve the equations of two lines to get the intersection point.

The intersection point will be the circumcenter of the triangle.

Given :

X(-2,1), Y(2,-3), Z(6,-3)

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 . If there were
Alchen [17]

Answer:

There were 2747 yes votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .

This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.

If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?

5 yes - 8 votes

x yes - 4395 votes

8x = 4395*5

x = 4395*5/8

x = 2747

There were 2747 yes votes.
