Complete Question:
Alejandro jumped from a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends.
Where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet
(a) How long did it take for Alejandro to reach his maximum height
(b) What was the highest point Alejandro reached
(c) Alejandro hits the water after how many seconds
Answer:
(a) 0.5 seconds
(b) 484 feet
(c) 6 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): Time to reach maximum height
This is the maximum of the function and it is calculated using:
Where
So:
Solving (b): Highest point reached
Time to reach the highest point is 0.5.
So, the highest point is: h(0.5)
Solving (c): Time he hits water.
At this point, h(t) = 0
So;
Factorize
Divide both sides by -16
Expand
Factorize
Time can't be negative.
So:
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = (x) -5
Let x = -5
g(-5) = -5 -5 = -10
Let x= 0
g(0) = 0-5 = -5
Let x= 5
g(5) = 5-5 = 0
Answer:
The next number selected should be between 2 and 3 .
Step-by-step explanation:
x. x f(x) g(x)
0 10 17
1 11 19
2 14 21
3 19 23
4 26 25
3.5 22.25 24
<u>2.5 16.25 22</u>
1.5 12.25 20
0.5 10.25 18
We see the pattern that it is increasing with only a unit. The last given data is mid of the last two values that is 3 and 4.
So the next value would be the mid of the next last two values that is 2 and 3 and will be 2.5
Now it is moving in the reverse direction in the same pattern with a difference of a unit.
Answer: Lin is the most consistent and I would want to have them on my team.
Why is this? Because their dots are more clustered together compared to the other distributions. Elena may have made the most shots (9) at one point, but her data set is very spread out and more unpredictable. The more spread out a data set is, the higher the variance and standard deviation. The range is also affected by how spread out the data set is since
range = max - min
So in a rough sense, the range can be used to estimate the variance and standard deviation. Though more accurate formulas are usually the better way to go.
