Remember that the vertex form of a parabola or quadratic equation is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the "vertex" which is the maximum or minimum point of the parabola (and a is half the acceleration of the of the function, but that is maybe too much :P)
In this case we are given that the vertex is (1,1) so we have:
y=a(x-1)^2+1, and then we are told that there is a point (0,-3) so we can say:
-3=a(0-1)^2+1
-3=a+1
-4=a so our complete equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x-1)^2+1
Now you wish to know where the x-intercepts are. x-intercepts are when the graph touches the x-axis, ie, when y=0 so
0=-4(x-1)^2+1 add 4(x-1)^2 to both sides
4(x-1)^2=1 divide both sides by 4
(x-1)^2=1/4 take the square root of both sides
x-1=±√(1/4) which is equal to
x-1=±1/2 add 1 to both sides
x=1±1/2
So x=0.5 and 1.5, thus the x-intercept points are:
(0.5, 0) and (1.5, 0) or if you like fractions:
(1/2, 0) and (3/2, 0) :P
Answer:
The instantaneous velocity at 
is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the position as the function
As we know that the velocity is the rate of change of position over time, so it is basically the derivative of the function.
so finding the derivate of
∴ 
The instantaneous velocity at
Therefore, the instantaneous velocity at is .
Please note that the negative value indicates the direction of movement, in this case, it would be backward.
Answer:
The correct answer is 21.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the median concept, it is found that the interquartile range of Sara's daily miles is of 21 miles.
<h3>What are the median and the quartiles of a data-set?</h3>
- The median of the data-set separates the bottom half from the upper half, that is, it is the 50th percentile.
- The first quartile is the median of the first half of the data-set.
- The third quartile is the median of the second half of the data-set.
- The interquartile range is the difference of the quartiles.
The ordered data-set is given as follows:
65, 72, 86, 88, 91, 93, 97
There are 7 elements, hence the median is the 4th element, of 88. Then:
- The first half is 65, 72, 86.
- The second half is 91, 93, 97.
Since the quartiles are the medians of each half, the have that:
- The first quartile is of 72 miles.
- The third quartile is of 93 miles.
- The interquartile range is of 93 - 72 = 21 miles.
