The flight is in the shape of a parabola with a vertex 5 feet above the water and 1/2 * 33 = 16.5 feet horizontally from the point of leaving the water
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola and here it is (5 , 16.5), so we have the function:-
y = a(x - 16.5)^2 + 5
when x = 0 y = 0 so
0 = a(-16.5)^2 + 5
which gives a = -0.018365
So our function for the flight path is
y = -0.018365(x - 16.5)^2 + 5 Answer
X = 1/2 and x is also equal to 1/5
Answer:
1410
Step-by-step explanation:
-6 times 5 is -30
47 times -30 is -1410
Start by defining variables (things you don't know). Let's make:
t = number of true/false questions
m = number of multiple choice questions
Equation #1
total questions on the test (given to be 20) is then:
t + m = 20
Equation #2
Multiply the number of questions by the points it's worth to get the total points
3t + 11m = 100
Now, you can use substitution to combine the two equations.
t + m = 20
by subtracting m from both sides, equation 1# becomes..
t = 20 - m
substitute t for 20 - m in the second equation.
3(20 - m) + 11m = 100
Solve for m.
3(20 - m) + 11m = 100
60 - 3m + 11m = 100
8m = 100 - 60
8m = 40
m = 5
There are 5 multiple choice questions on the test.
Now use this to find t.
t + m = 20
t + 5 = 20
t = 20 - 5
t = 15
there are 15 true/false questions on the test.
