Which is the slope of a line through the points (-1, 2) and (5, 8)?

Mathematics

stepan [7]3 years ago

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 8 )

m = \frac{8-2}{5+1} = \frac{6}{6} = 1 → A

Taya2010 [7]

Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of t=0.6482

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s       Eqn(1).

Where:

h(t) : is the height range as a function of time

v_{o}   : is the initial velocity

s     : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40        Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

<u>Ben:</u>

We know that v_{o}=60ft/s

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40        Eqn.(3)

<u>Josh:</u>

We know that v_{o}=48ft/s

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40       Eqn. (4).

<em><u>Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at </u></em>h(t)=0<em><u>. Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one. </u></em>

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec

Since time can only be positive we reject the t_{2} solution and we keep that Ben's book took t=4.3276 seconds to reach the ground.

Similarly solving for Josh we obtain

t_{1}=3.6794sec\\t_{2}=-0.6794sec

Thus again we reject the negative and keep the positive solution, so Josh's book took t=3.6794 seconds to reach the ground.

Then we can find the difference between Ben and Josh times as

t_{Ben}-t_{Josh}= 4.3276 - 3.6794 = 0.6482

So to answer the original question:

<em>Whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds?</em>

  • Josh's textbook reached the ground first
  • Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of t=0.6482

Write a quadratic function, in standard form, that fits the set of points. Solve it as a system of three equations. (-4, 9), (0,
Tresset [83]

Answer:

\boxed{y=2x^2+4x-7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

y=ax^2+bx+c


We substitute (-4,9) into the equation to obtain;


9=a(-4)^2+b(-4)+c


\Rightarrow 9=16a-4b+c---(1)


We substitute (0,-7) to obtain;


-7=a(0)^2+b(0)^2+c


\Rightarrow c=-7---(2)


We finally substitute (1,-1) to obtain;


-1=a(1)^2+b(1)^2+c


\Rightarrow -1=a+b+c---(3)


We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;


9=16a-4b-7


16a-4b=16


\Rightarrow 4a-b=4---(4)


\Rightarrow -1=a+b-7


\Rightarrow a+b=6---(5)


We add equation (4) and (5) to get;

4a+a=6+4



\Rightarrow 5a=10



\Rightarrow a=2


We put a=2 into equation (5) to get;


2+b=6


\Rightarrow b=6-2


\Rightarrow b=4


The reqiured quadratic function is

y=2x^2+4x-7

Round 538.060 to the nearest whole number
sasho [114]

Answer:

538

Step-by-step explanation:

if you round the hundreth place up, the tenth place would be 1. However, rounding that would give you 0 as it's less than 5. Therefore, all decimal places would become 0, and that only leaves 538.
