A stadium that seats 35,000 is slowly filling up with fans. The game starts at four o’clock. At noon the stadium owner estimates

there are 4,000 fans who have already arrived early. At one o’clock he estimates just over 11,000 fans have found their seats and they appear to be coming in at a steady rate. He knows his stadium will be more than ninety percent full by game time. Choose the function below that best models this situation and tracks attendance from Noon to game time.
A. f(x)= .90x + 4,000
B. f(x)= 7,000x + 4,000
C. f(x)= 4,000x + 4,000
D. f(x)= 11,000x + 4,000

Answer:

B. f(x) = 7000x + 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the best function for this situation, we need to list down all the things that we know first.

We currently have:

35000 total seats

4000 fans

11000 fans after an hour

So that means that after an hour, we had:

11000 fans - 4000 fans = 7000 fans

At one o'clock we had 7000 more fans arrive.

So we can assume that:

x = number of hours

f(x) = 7000x + 4000 will be the best function to use to find out if there that 90% of the stadium will be filled by game time.

To test this function let's use it:

f(1) = 7000(1) + 4000

f(1) = 11000

This is after hour 1.

Now let's see after hour 4 since the game starts at 4.

f(4) = 7000(4) + 4000

f(4) = 28000 + 4000

f(4) = 32000

So 90% of 35000 is:

35000 x 0.90 = 31500

By game time we have 32000 fans which is above 90% of the total number of seats.

So the stadium owners estimate is correct.

Suppose that y = k * (x - 1/3) ^ 2 is a parabola in the xy -plane that passes through the point (2/3, 1) :Find k and the length

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

k = 9

length of chord = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of parabola: $y=k (x-\frac13)^2$

<u />

<u>Part 1</u>

If the curve passes through point $(\frac23 ,1)$ , this means that when $x=\dfrac23$ , $y = 1$

Substitute these values into the equation and solve for $k$ :

$\implies 1=k \left(\dfrac23-\dfrac13\right)^2$

$\implies 1=k \left(\dfrac13 \right)^2$

Apply the exponent rule $\left(\dfrac{a}{b} \right)^c=\dfrac{a^c}{b^c}$ :

$\implies 1=k \left(\dfrac{1^2}{3^2} \right)$

$\implies 1=\dfrac{1}{9}k$

$\implies k=9$

<u>Part 2</u>

The chord of a parabola is a line segment whose endpoints are points on the parabola.

We are told that one end of the chord is at $(\frac23 ,1)$ and that the chord is horizontal. Therefore, the y-coordinate of the other end of the chord will also be 1. Substitute y = 1 into the equation for the parabola and solve for x:

$\implies 1=9 \left(x-\dfrac13 \right)^2$

$\implies \dfrac19 = \left(x-\dfrac13 \right)^2$

$\implies \sqrt{\dfrac19} = x-\dfrac13$

$\implies \pm \dfrac13 = x-\dfrac13$

$\implies x=\dfrac23, x=0$

Therefore, the endpoints of the horizontal chord are: (0, 1) and (2/3, 1)

To calculate the length of the chord, find the difference between the x-coordinates:

$\implies \dfrac23-0=\dfrac23$
