Answer:

The required equation is:

y = -\frac{4}{3}t^2 -\frac{8}{3}t + 4

Explanation:

Let us assume that the hole is at y = 0m, with x as the time.

From the question we have (-1s, 8m) as the vertex (here x being the time variable is supposed to be in seconds and y being the distance variable is supposed to be in meters)

At x = 1s, the ball gets to the hole, therefore we have point (1s, 0m)

We know that the vertex of the parabola y = ax² + bx + c is at

x =\frac{-b}{2a}

therefore we have:

-1 = \frac{-b}{2a}

We then have the following equations:

8 = a\times -1^2 + b\times -1 + c

0 = a\times -1^2 + b\times 1 + c

-1 = \frac{-b}{2a}

From the 3rd equation we have

1 X 2a = b.

Therefore we have:

8 = a\times -1^2 - 1\times 2a\times1 + c

0 = a\times 1^2 + 1 \times2a\times 1 + c

We can simplify both equations and get:

8 = a\times( -1^2 - 2s^2) + c = -a\times 3^2 + c

0 = a\times(1^2 + 2^2) + c = a\times 3^2 + c

The first equation now becomes:

8 = -a\times 3 - a\times 3 = -a\times 6

a = frac{8}{-6} = -\frac{4}{3}

With a, we can find the values of c and b.

c = -a\times3 = -(-\frac{4}{3})*3 = 4

b = 1\times 2a = 1\times 2(-\frac{4}{3})= -\frac{8}{3}

Then the equation is:

y = -\frac{4}{3}t^2 -\frac{8}{3}t + 4

Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions. Express the final equation in standard form.
Anton [14]

Answer:

The equation of line with given points and perpendicular to y-axis is

y = - 7  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The given points as ( - 10 , - 7)

The equation of line is Y = mX + c

So The line will satisfy given points

Or,  - 7 = m ( -10 ) + c

Now This line is perpendicular to y- axis

∴ The slop of line perpendicular to  y axis is 0

So, - 7= 0 + c

or, c = - 7

∴ Equation of line is y = 0 + c

Or,        y = - 7

Hence The equation of line with given points and perpendicular to y-axis is y = - 7      Answer

Select the missing numbers. Remember to indicate a negative cash flow with parentheses.
cluponka [151]

To find the cash flow, subtract the Cash Disbursements from the sales receipts for each month.


January: 110 - 135 =  -$25

February: 85 - 110 = -$25

March: 100 - 95 = $5

April: 130 - 95 = $35

May: 145 - 100 = $45

June: 165 - 105 = $60

Use an Addition or Subtraction Formula to write the expression as a trigonometric function of one number. sin 3π /7 cos 2π/ 21 −
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

sin(3π/7 - 2π/21)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

sin 3π /7 cos 2π/ 21 − cos 3π/ 7 sin 2π/ 21

Required

Write a trigonometry formula for the expression

Using sine formula, we have:

sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB

The above formula can be applied to the given expression where

A = 3π/7

B = 2π/21

So, the trigonometry formula is:

sin 3π /7 cos 2π/ 21 − cos 3π/ 7 sin 2π/ 21= sin(3π/7 - 2π/21)
