Answer:

180feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function that models the height of a ball

s(t) = 144 + 48t − 16t^2.

At maximum height, the velocity is zero ie. ds/dt = 0

ds/dt = 48 - 32t

0 = 48 - 32t

48 = 32t

t = 48/32

t = 1.5secs

Get the maximum height

s(t) = 144 + 48t − 16t^2.

s(1.5) = 144 + 48(1.5)-16(1.5)^2

s()1.5) = 144 + 72 - 16(2.25)

s(1.5) = 144 + 72-36

s(1.5) = 180 feet

Hence the maximum height attained by the ball is 180feet

Using the quadratic formula to solve 7x2 – x = 7, what are the values of x?

Kruka [31]

How the quadratic formula works:

For any quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the solution is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ .

In the case of our equation 7x² - x = 7, first we need to subtract 7 from each side so that we have 0 on the right.
7x² - x - 7 = 0

Identify the values of a, b, and c.
a = 7, b = -1, and c = -7.

Plug these into our quadratic formula and solve.

$x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(7)(-7)}}{2(7)}=\boxed{\frac{1\pm\sqrt{197}}{14}$

There are two values for x: (1+√197)/14 and (1-√197)/14.
The approximate values for these are 1.073976 and -0.931119.

Answer:

The margin of error that corresponds to a 95% confidence interval is 4.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard error(which is the same as the standard deviation of the sample), so we use the students t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. There are 6 days, so

df = 6 - 1 = 5

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 35 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975([tex]t_{0.975}$ ). So we have T = 2.5706

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.5706*1.93 = 4.96

The margin of error that corresponds to a 95% confidence interval is 4.96.

A share of ABC stock was worth $70 in 2011 and only

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

5v + 32y = 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the year counting starts in 2011 and represented by y.

So, the share of ABC stock value was $70 at y = 0. And in the year 2016 i.e. y = (2016 - 2011) = 5, the share worth $38.

If there is a linear relationship between the number of years since 2011 i.e. y and the value of the share of ABC stock i.e. v, then we can write the equation of this situation as

$\frac{v - 70}{70 - 38} = \frac{y - 0}{0 - 5}$

⇒ 5v - 350 = - 32y

⇒ 5v + 32y = 350 (Answer)
