REY [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The baseball player leaps into the air with an initial velocity of  14 feet per second. This means that the player leaps from the ground, the initial height is therefore zero.

The height (y) is given by the formula:

y(t) = ut - (1/2)gt² + initial heigth

u = initial velocity = 14 ft/s, t = time taken, g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s². Substituting:

y(t) = 14t - (1/2) * 32 *t² + 0

y(t) = 14t - 16t²

b) when the player is on the ground, the height = 0. hence:

0 = 14t - 16t²

16t² - 14t = 0

t(16t - 14) = 0

t = 0 or 16t - 14 = 0

t = 0 or 16t = 14

t =0 or t = 0.875

Hence t = 0.875 seconds

c) The domain is the set of possible values for the time. Hence:

Domain = (0, 0.875] = 0 < t ≤ 0.875

What are the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?
olchik [2.2K]
The correct question is
<span>What are the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?
y = x</span>²<span>-2x-35

step 1
convert the equation in the vertex form
y+35=x</span>²-2x
y+35=(x²-2x+1-1)
y+35+1=(x²-2x+1)
y+36=(x-1)²------> equation in the vertex form

the vertex is the point (1,-36)

the answer Part a) is
the vertex is the point (1,-36)

Part b) Find the x-intercepts
we know that
the x-intercepts is when y=0
so
y+36=(x-1)²
for y=0
(x-1)²=36
(+/-)(x-1)=√36-------> (+/-)(x-1)=6
(+)(x-1)=6------> x=6+1-----> x=7
(-)(x-1)=6-----> x=1-6-----> x=-5

the x-intercepts are the points
(7,0)  and (-5,0)

the answer part b) is 
the x-intercepts are the points (7,0)  and (-5,0)

the total answer is the option 
<span>A. Vertex: (1, -36); x-intercepts: (7, 0) and (-5, 0)</span>

What was the error in this equation?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The error is the solution.

The solution is all real numbers, or infinite amount of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-4(2n - 3) = 12 - 8n

Step 2: Solve for <em>n</em>

  1. <u>Distribute -4:</u> -8n + 12 = 12 - 8n
  2. <u>Subtract 12 on both sides:</u> -8n = -8n
  3. <u>Add 8n to both sides:</u> 0 = 0

Here we see that <em>n</em> can equal any number. If you plug in any number <em>n</em>, it will render the equation true. Therefore, our solution is n = infinite amount of solutions.

n = 0 is only slightly correct. 0 does work as the solution, but there are solutions as well.

Find the slope of the following ^ :))<br> |
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

m [slope] = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When the slope is 0, x cancels out so the y value will remain the same.

There are several methods to finding slope but the easiest way to do this is by dividing the second y value - first y value by the second x value - first x value.

m = ∆y/∆x = y2-y1/x2-x1

You y2 and x2 are interchangable with y and x, because y1, and x1 are part of the starting coordinate,.

The reason you subtract the second

value from the first is because in a directly proportional relationship, y increases as x increases so the next x values will have a greater y value, this is a measure of steepness.

So the slope is:

-1 - -1 / 3 - -2 = -1 + 1 / 3 + 2 = 0 / 5 = 0.
