Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the ball is thrown, it is at the ground level. At the ground level, the height is zero. Substitute h = 0 into the equation;

h(x)=-x^2+10x-16

0=-x^2+10x-16

x^2-10x+16 = 0

Factorize

x^2-8x-2x+16 = 0

x(x-8) - 2 (x-8) = 0

x-2 = 0 and x - 8 = 0

x = 2 and 8

At x = 2

h(2) = -2^2 + 10(2) - 16

h(2) = -4 + 4

h(2) = 0

<em>Hence the height of the ball at the time it is thrown is 0m</em>

Answer:

Rise: 200.25

Descent 300.2

Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are using the Pythagorean theorem for the climb and descent. (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

For climb a = 200, b = 10 c = ?

200^2 + 10^2 = c^2 = 40000 + 100 = c^2 = 40100 = c^2

c = about 200.25

For the descent: a = 300, b = 10

300²+10² = c²

90000 + 100 = c²

90100 = c²

c = about 300.2

B) If a plane is going 600 km/h and it goes about 10 km that means the plane is only going for 10/600 of an hour.

10/600 is 1/60, so only a couple minutes difference.

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers

Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the $x^2$ coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like $x^2+bx+c=0$ , then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

$b$ is the opposite of the sum of the roots
$c$ is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

$4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2$
$4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8$

So, the equation is $x^2-2x-8=0$

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

$\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}$
$\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}$

And so the equation is

$x^2 - \dfrac{5}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8} = 0$

In order to have integer coefficients, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:

$8x^2 - 10 + 3 = 0$

Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fract

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$P(X = 0) = 0.03125$

$P(X = 1) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 2) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 3) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 4) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 5) = 0.03125$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
