6 0

Answer:

Two solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-x=1

plug into the discrimiant fomurla

The asnwer ends up being 5

which is positive, meaning that the discriminant has two solutions

Postitive number = Two solutions

The answer is 0 = One solution

Negative number = No solutions

A baseball is hit and its height is given by h = 29.4t – 4. 9t^2, where h is the

ioda

Answer:

44.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a quadratic function which represents the height and time of a baseball

$\displaystyle h = 29.4t - 4.9 {t}^{2}$

we want to figure out maximum height of

the baseball

since the given function is a quadratic function so we have a parabola

which means figuring out the maximum height is the same thing as figuring out the maximum y coordinate (vertex)

to do so we can use some special formulas

recall that,

$\displaystyle \rm t= \frac{ - b}{ 2a}$

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=f(t)$

notice that, our given function is not in standard form i.e

$\displaystyle f(x) = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

let's make it so

$\displaystyle h = - 4.9 {t}^{2} + 29.4t$

therefore we got

our a is -4.9 and b is 29.4

so substitute:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -( 29.4)}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

remove parentheses and change its sign:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ - 9.8}$

simplify division:

$\displaystyle \: t = 3$

so we have figured out the time when the baseball will reach the maximum height

now we have to figure out the height

to do so

substitute the got value of time to our given function

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot {3}^2$

simplify square:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot 9$

simplify mutilation:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=88.2-44.1$

simplify substraction:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=44.1$

hence,

the maximum height of the baseball is 44.1 metres

Identify the leading coefficient in the following polynomial: – 5x² + 3x - 7

insens350 [35]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading coefficient means the thing you're multiplying your highest power by. Here, your highest power of x is x^2, and that term's coeff. is -5, so the leading coefficient is -5.

What are the graphs of y=sinx and y=cosx in the interval from -2 pi to 2 pi?

g100num [7]

I used Excel to create the tables and the graphs.

I attached both the tables and the graphs.

You should replace the numbers of the x-axis (in both graphs) by the numbers as a fraction of pi. Those numbers are also included in the table, so you should not have problems with that.
