Manny observed a Northern Gannet, a deep diving seabird, hovering at a height of 10 meters above the ocean surface. The bird the

n dove into the water, diving to a depth of 16 meters before coming to the surface. The dive can be modeled by a quadratic function, y = x2 – 10.3x + 10, where x represents the time the dive lasted in seconds and y represents the height of the bird in meters. Use the graphing calculator to graph the equation. After how many seconds did the bird surface? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

9.2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation that represents dive of a bird as y=x^2-10.3x+10, where x represents the time the dive lasted in seconds and y represents the height of the bird in meters.

We can see that our given equation is a parabola. The leading coefficient is positive, so our parabola will be an upward opening parabola.

Upon graphing our given equation, we will get our required graph as shown in the attachment.

As x represents the time the dive lasted in seconds and y represents the height of the bird in meters, so the bird will be at the surface when the graph will cross x-axis.

We can see that graph crosses x-axis at x=1.085\text{ and }x=9.215.

Upon rounding to nearest tenth, we will get:

x\approx 1.1\text{ and }x=9.2.

At x\approx 1.1 the bird dives in water and goes down the water surface and at x=9.2 the bird comes to the surface, therefore, the bird will be at surface after 9.2 seconds.

What has she done wrong?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Her error is in squaring (2y)²

She has (2y)² = 2y²

when it should be 2y × 2y = 4y²

Then

(2y)² = 6² + 8²

4y² = 36 + 64

4y² = 100 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )

y = \sqrt{25} = 5

What is the true solution to the logarithmic equation below?<br> log₂ (6x)-log₂ (√x)=2
slega [8]

Answer:

The true solution is x=4/9

EXPLANATION

The logarithmic equation given to us is

We need to use the quotient rule of logarithms.

When we apply this law the expression becomes

We now take the antilogarithm of both sides to get

We square both sides to get,

We evaluate to obtain,

This simplifies to

We divide both sides by 36 to get

We simplify to get,
