Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each

Paul [167]2 years ago

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

  • Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
  • Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
  • And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

\displaystyle 3x+4y=12

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3<em>x</em> from both sides:

4y=-3x+12

And divide both sides by four:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

-6x-8y=24

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6<em>x</em> to both sides:

-8y=6x+24

And divide both sides by negative eight:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Answer:

  y = -(x -3)^2 +2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is ...

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k

where the vertex is (h, k) and the value 'a' is a vertical scale factor.

The value of 'a' can be found by looking at the y-value of points ±1 either side of the vertex relative to the vertex. Here, the vertex y-value is +2 at x=3, and either side goes down 1 unit (to y=1) for 1 unit to the right or left. So, a = -1.

Using the values we've read from the graph for the vertex (h, k) = (3, 2) and the scale factor a = -1, we can write the equation as ...

  y = -(x -3)^2 +2

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Urban area = 58.27%

Suburban area = 34.83%

Rural area = 6.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Total number of women = 290

Number of women in urban area = 169

Suburban area women = 101

Rural are women = 20

So, we can calculate the percentage of number of women from each area by using following formula,

Percentage = Women in specific area ÷ total women

So, percentage of Urban area = 169 ÷ 290 = 0.5827 or 58.27%

percentage of suburban area = 101 ÷ 290 = 0.3483 or 34.83%

percentage of rural area = 20 ÷ 290 = 0.0690 or 6.9%

Pie chart for the given information is attached below.
