<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>Let's find 'a' using Pythagoras theorem.</u>
- => 4² = 2² + a²
- => 16 = 4 + a²
- => 12 = a²
- => a = √12
- => a = √2 x 2 x 3
- => a = 2√3
- => a = 2 x √3
- => a = 2 x 1.732
- => a = 3.464 = 3.5 (Estimated)

Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, the vertex (the maximum or minimum point) is at x = -b/(2a).
1) y = -0.5t² + 2t + 38
The maximum is at:
t = -2 / (2 × -0.5)
t = 2
The maximum height is:
y = -0.5(2)² + 2(2) + 38
y = 40
The coordinates of the vertex are (2, 40). That means the missile reaches a maximum height of 40 km after 2 minutes.
2) y = -4.9t² + 12t + 1.6
The maximum is at:
t = -12 / (2 × -4.9)
t = 1.22
The maximum height is:
y = -4.9(1.22)² + 12(1.22) + 1.6
y = 8.95
The coordinates of the vertex are (1.22, 8.95). That means the missile reaches a maximum height of 8.95 m after 1.22 seconds.
3) y = -0.04x² + 0.88x
The maximum is at:
x = -0.88 / (2 × -0.04)
x = 11
The maximum height is:
y = -0.04(11)² + 0.88(11)
y = 4.84
The maximum height of the tunnel is 4.84 meters.
The maximum width is when y = 0.
0 = -0.04x² + 0.88x
0 = -0.04x (x − 22)
x = 22
The maximum width is 22 feet.
Answer:
0.7 + 0.4 - 0.2 = 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's denote the probabilities as following:
The probability that the show had animals is
P(A) = 0.7
The probability that the show aired more than 10 times is
P(B) = 0.4
The probability that the show had animals and aired more than 10 times is
P(A⋂B) = 0.2
The probability that a randomly selected show had animals or aired more than 10 times is P(A⋃B)
The correct form of addition rule to determine the probability that a randomly selected show had animals or aired more than 10 times is:
P(A⋃B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A⋂B) = 0.7 + 0.4 - 0.2 = 0.9
=> Option B is correct
Hope this helps!
