The slope of the function for pronghorn antelope is 60.78 which infers that the rate of speed of the pronghorn is 60.78 miles per hour.
7) The given function that represents the speed of the pronghorn is
y = 60.78x - 5.4
Comparing this function with the general equation of a straight line
y = mx + c we can conclude that the slope of the function is 60.78 .
So the Pronghorn's rate of speed is 60.78 miles per hour.
8) Now the speed of the cheetah is given in the form of a table.
Let us take any two points on the graph
(0.5,21.85) and (2,118.60)
Slope of the line passing through these two points
= (118.6-21.85)/(2-0.5)
=64.5
So the slope of the graph is 64.5 and the average rate of speed of the Cheetah is 64.5 miles per hour.
9) From the above two slopes and the rate of speed we can conclude that the speed of the cheetah is 64.5 mph which is greater than that of the pronghorn 's speed of 60.78 miles per hour.

Answer:
The correct option is;
21 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the parabolic arc is as follows;
y = a(x - h)² + k
Where the height is 25 ft and the span is 40 ft, the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) is then (20, 25)
We therefore have;
y = a(x - 20)² + 25
Whereby the parabola starts from the origin (0, 0), we have;
0 = a(0 - 20)² + 25
0 = 20²a + 25 → 0 = 400·a + 25
∴a = -25/400 = -1/16
The equation of the parabola is therefore;
To find the height 8 ft from the center, where the center is at x = 20 we have 8 ft from center = x = 20 - 8 = 12 or x = 20 + 8 = 28
Therefore, plugging the value of x = 12 or 28 in the equation for the parabola gives;
.
First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now
2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4
At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real.
Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result.
For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196
No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.
So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to
x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
15.5=26−7p
15.5=−7p+26
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−7p+26=15.5
Step 3: Subtract 26 from both sides.
−7p+26=15.5
-26 -26
−7p=−10.5
Step 4: Divide both sides by -7.
-7p = -10.5
/-7 /-7
Answer:
P = $1.5 (Price for each game)
