Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = -1/2 × sqrt(x+3)

2y = -sqrt(x+3)

4y² = x + 3

x = 4y² - 3

now renaming this, so that the normal symbols and names are used for this function definition, so that the input variable is called "x" :

f-1(x) = 4x² - 3

basically, just by itself, this function would be defined for all possible real values of x.

but because it is the inverse of the original function, which generates only values of y<=0, then for the inverse function that same range applies for its input variable x

x<=0

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rocket, after x seconds, is given by the following equation:

$y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98$

It hits the ground when $y = 0$ , so we have to find x for which $y = 0$ , which is a quadratic equation.

Finding the roots of a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98$

$-16x^2 + 177x + 98 = 0$

$a = -16, b = 177, c = 98$

$\bigtriangleup = 177^{2} - 4(-16)(98) = 37601$

$x_{1} = \frac{-177 + \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = -0.53$

$x_{2} = \frac{-177 - \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = 11.59$

Since time is a positive measure, the rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.

The number of electoral votes each state is assigned is determined by the size of its population every ten years. The chart show

sattari [20]

Answer:

D. $Q_3=47$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a table that represents the the number of electoral votes California was assigned each decade of the past century. We are asked to find the 3rd quartile of our given data.

The number of votes are: 9, 13, 13, 22, 25, 32, 40, 45, 47, 54, 55.

We will use upper quartile formula to solve our given problem.

$Q_3=\frac{3}{4}*(n+1)^{\text{th term}}$ , where, n represents the number of elements in the data set.

We can see that our data set has 11 data points, so upon substituting n=11 in above formula we will get,

$Q_3=\frac{3}{4}*(11+1)^{\text{th term}}$

$Q_3=\frac{3}{4}*(12)^{\text{th term}}$

$Q_3=3*3^{\text{th term}}$

$Q_3=9^{\text{th term}}$

Now let us count 9th term of our data set. Upon counting our data set from left to right we can see that 9th term of our data set is 47, therefore, 3rd quartile of our given data is 47 and option D is the correct choice.
