Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle you can tell by the two congruent/equal angles

angle A is congruent/equal to angle C by definition the two sides will be equal.

x-4=3x-8

1. get all you x's on one side. by subtracting x from both sides you don't have to deal with dividing by negatives later on.

x-x-4=3x-x-8

-4=2x-8

now you want to get x by itself so add 8 to both sides

4= 2x

x is still not by itself so divide both sides by 2

x=2

a volley ball player servers the ball. The ball follows a path given by the equation y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3 where x and y are measure

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

(a)

Distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

The ball will go over the net

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The ball follows a path given by the equation

$y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3$

where

x and y are measured in feet and the origin is on the court directly below where the player hits the ball

(a)

net height is 8 ft

so, we can set y=8

and then we can solve for x

$8=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3$

$8\cdot \:100=-0.01x^2\cdot \:100+0.5x\cdot \:100+3\cdot \:100$

$800=-x^2+50x+300$

$-x^2+50x-500=0$

$x^2-50x+500=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-50\pm \sqrt{50^2-4\left(-1\right)\left(-500\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}$

$x=5\left(5-\sqrt{5}\right),\:x=5\left(5+\sqrt{5}\right)$

$x=13.82,x=36.2$

So, distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

we can plug x=30 and check whether y=8 ft

$y=-0.01(30)^2+0.5(30)+3$

$y=9ft$

we know that

height of net is 8 ft

so, the ball will go over the net

Pls help!!!!!!!!!!!1

Sloan [31]

Answer:lol it's -3

Step-by-step explanation: it's 3 because you had dirt 45.50 in your account and then you have to get books and those books will cost $3 more which means that you don't have that money since it indicates that in the problem which means that it would be -3 because you don't have the money so that's why I think it's negative 3.
