In a video game, a bird is flung on a sling shot and follows a parabolic path. The path of the bird can be modeled by the equati

on h=-16t²+55t+50, where h is the height of the bird t and is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird has been in the air. How long will it take the bird to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time?

Answer:

  3.61 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The bird starts 50 feet in the air, so will come down to a height of 40 feet after 3.61 seconds.

We want to solve h = 40.

  40 = -16t^2 +55t +50

  16t^2 -55t -10 = 0

  t = (55 +√(55^2 -4(16)(-10)))/(2(16)) = (55 + √3665)/32 ≈ 3.61060

The bird will be 40 ft above the ground the first time after about 3.61 seconds.

Statistics Question. Use the Desmos graphing calculator to find the least-squares regression line for the dataset in the table:
Soloha48 [4]

Given:

The table of values.

To find:

The least-squares regression line for the data set in the table by using the desmos graphing calculator.

Solution:

The general form of least-squares regression line is:

\hat{y}=mx+b           ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

By using the desmos graphing calculator, we get

m\approx 2.55,b\approx -6.435

Substitute these values in (i).

\hat{y}=(2.55)x+(-6.435)

\hat{y}=2.55x-6.435

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Find FG<br><br> FG=<br> __________________
FrozenT [24]

FG = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Two pairs of consecutive are congruent so, its a kite,

Opposite sides are equal in kite so,

x + 11 = 3x + 1

or, 11 - 1 = 3x - x

or, 2x = 10

so, x = 5

FG = x + 11 = 5 + 11 = 16

A ball is thrown into the air. The height h, in feet, of the ball after x seconds is given by the function h = −16(x − 2)2 + 72.
Annette [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h = −16(x − 2)² + 72

 =  −16((x − 2)(x − 2)) + 72                   expand the square  (x - 2)² =  (x - 2)(x - x)

 =  -16 ((x)(x) + (x)(-2) + (-2)(x) + (-2)(-2)) + 72

  = -16 (x² + (-2x) + (-2x) + (4) ) + 72

  = -16 (x² + (-4x)  + (4) ) + 72

  = -16 (x² - 4x  + 4 ) + 72

  = (-16)(x²) + (-16)(-4x) +(-16)(4) + 72

  =   -16x²  + 64x  - 64 + 72

  =   -16x²  + 64x  + 8              My guess is D   ; 72 ???

I have no clue what the  ; 72 means after the given answer.  It must be a standard form thing I never learned.
