Answer:

1) The equation for the of the ball in y = a·(x - h)² + k is;

y = -16·(x - 5)² + 25

2) The height of the dock, d =  -375 feet below the water level

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The question is with regards to quadratic function representing projectile motion

The given parameters are;

The height the ball reaches 4 seconds after Sarah kicked the ball = 9 feet

The time the ball hits the water = 6 seconds after reaching the 9 feet height

The form of the quadratic equation representing the motion is given as follows;

y = a·(x - h)² + k = a·x² - 2·a·h·x + a·h² + k

Let 'x' represent the time of motion of the ball, and let 'a', represent the acceleration due to gravity, we have;

The equation for the ball, y = a·(x - h)² + k

Where;

(h, k) = The coordinates of the vertex

h = The horizontal component of the vertex coordinate = 0

Therefore, we have;

When x = 0, y = d

d = -16·(0 - h)² + k =  -16·h² + k

d = -16·h² + k  

When x = 4, y = 9 - d

9 - d = -16(4 - h)² + k = -16(4 - h)² + k

When x = 2, y = d

d = -16(2 - h)² + k

When x = 6, y = 9

9 = -16(6 - 5)² + k

When x = 8, y = d

d = -16(8 - h)² + k

-16(8 - h)² - (-16(2 - h)²) = 0

h = 5

From 9 - d = -16(4 - h)² + k = -16(4 - 4)² + k

d = 9 - k

9 = -16(6 - h)² + k

k = 9 + 16(6 - 5)² = 25

d = 9 - k = 9 - 25 = -16

Therefore, h = 5, k = 25

The equation for the of the ball in y = a·(x - h)² + k is therefore;

y = -16·(x - 5)² + 25

2) When x = 0, y = d, ∴ d = -16(0 - 5)² + 25 = -375 feet below the water

The height of the dock, d =  -375 feet below the water level

The sum of two numbers is 26. The larger number is 5 more than twice the smaller. What are
babymother [125]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the smaller of the two numbers, and since the other number is 5 more than twice the smaller number n, then ...

Let 2n + 5 = the second and larger number.

Since the sum of the two unknown numbers is 26, then we can write the following equation to be solved for n as follows:

n + (2n + 5) = 26

n + 2n + 5 = 26

Collecting like-terms on the left, we get:

3n + 5 = 26

3n + 5 - 5 = 26 - 5

3n + 0 = 21

3n = 21

(3n)/3 = 21/3

(3/3)n = 21/3

(1)n = 7

n = 7

Therefore, ...

2n + 5 = 2(7) + 5

= 14 + 5

= 19

CHECK:

n + (2n + 5) = 26

7 + (19) = 26

7 + 19 = 26

26 = 26

Therefore, the two desired numbers whose sum is 26 are indeed 7 and 19.

Joel can read around 16 sentences per minute of his current novel. He wants to finish his reading before the movie comes out nex
Ainat [17]

Answer:

2.7 hours or 2 hrs, 42 min

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the total number of sentences remaining we can multiply 130 sentences times 20 pages remaining to get

2,600 sentences

if we divide that number by 16 we'll get the number of minutes he needs to finish the novel

2600/16 = 162.5 minutes which, when divided by 60, is 2 7/10 hours

7/10 = 42/60 so it comes out to 2.7 hours or 2 hrs, 42 min

Hi there! I haven't done math in a while but I do well and I hope this helps. First, we get our radius from our area, which is about 4 inches. From there, I used the volume formula and got the answer closest to C, or 267.95. Thanks, good luck :)
