Answer:

BD - AC = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

BC = 36 , CD = 15 and BD = x

As these are forming right angled triangle,

Using Pythagorean theorem,

$(BD)^2+(CD)^2=x^2\\(36)^2+(15)^2 = x^2\\1296 + 225 = x^2\\1521 = x^2\\$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{1521}\\x=39$

As the given shape is rectangular, the sides parallel to each other will have same values.

AB = 15 , AD = 36 and AC = x

$(15)^2+(36)^2 = x^2 \\225 + 1296 = x^2 \\1521 = x^2 \\x = 39$

Now,

BD - AC = 39 - 39 = 0

Hence,

BD - AC = 0

1.) What is the equation of the path of firework #1? Write your equation in general form.

valina [46]

1. I'm assumig that the paths are perfect parabolas

this means that their general forms can be written in $y=ax^2+bx+c$

it's easier to find vertex form first then expand to get general form

vertex form is $y=a(x-h)^2+k$ where the vertex is (h,k) and a is a constant

firework #1

vertex is (10,50), so (h,k)=(10,50) and h=10, k=50

$h_1=a(t-10)^2+50$

to find the value of $a$ , subsitute another point

(0,0)

$0=a(0-10)^2+50)$

$0=100a+50$

$a=\frac{-1}{2}$

so the equation in vertex form is $h_1=\frac{-1}{2}(t-10)^2+50$

expand to get general form

$h_1=\frac{-1}{2}(t^2-20t+100)+50$

$h_1=\frac{-1}{2}t^2+10t-50+50$

$h_1=\frac{-1}{2}t^2+10t$

same as last time

vertex is (10,72) so (h,k)=(10,72) so h=10 and k=72

equation is $h_2=a(t-10)^2+72$

find $a$

use another point

(0,22)

$22=a(0-10)^2+72$

$22=100a+72$

$-50=100a$

$a=\frac{-1}{2}$

so the equation in vertex form is $h_2=\frac{-1}{2}(t-10)^2+72$

range is the numbers that h is allowed to be

think about what h represents. it represents the height of the rocket

from the graph, we can see that the lowest possible height is 0yd and the highest height is 50yd

so range is 0 to 50 or 0≤h≤50

domain is the numbers that t is allowed to be

think about what t represents. it represents how long the rocket has been flying

it will stop flying when it hits the ground or at t=20

it starts flying at t=0

so domain is from 0 to 20 or 0≤t≤20

Children who have lost some baby teeth have better arithmetic skills than children who have not lost any baby teeth. In fact, th

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

B. There is correlation but no direct casual relation, but losing teeth and arithmetic skills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Correlation between lost of baby teeth and arithmetic skills.

Solution:

Correlation and causality concepts are so used here.

Correlation is the relationship between two variables to get or to predict information.

Correlation is not always causation.

So here the correlation is used to predict the arithmetic skills based on lost teeth.

i.e. More teeth lost more arithmetic skills.

Causality means change in one variable changes value of other variable.

So it gives direct causal relation between the variables.

Here they given relationship between the children lost teeth and arithmetic skills to predict information.

But ,there no actual imply on correlation.

Arithmetic skills can also depends upon third variable.

Hence there is no direct causal relationship between them.
