The path of a skateboarder can be modeled by the equation (x – 3)2 = –8(y – 8), where distance is in feet and air resistance is

insignificant. If the skateboarder makes a jump from a ramp at x = 0, what is her maximum height and how far is she horizontally from the end of the ramp when she lands?
Maximum height 3 feet; horizontal distance 16 feet
Maximum height 7 feet; horizontal distance 11 feet
Maximum height 8 feet; horizontal distance 11 feet
Maximum height 8 feet; horizontal distance 16 feet

The maximum height and horizontal distance is required.

Maximum height 8 feet; horizontal distance 16 feet

The given path is (x-3)^2=-8(y-8)

If the skateboarder jumps at x = 0 she will land at y = 0. However there will be at horizontal displacement.

(x-3)^2=-8(0-8)\\\Rightarrow (x-3)^2=8^2\\\Rightarrow x-3=\pm 8\\\Rightarrow x-3=8\\\Rightarrow x=11

or

x-3=-8\\\Rightarrow x=-5

The distance between -5 and 11 is 11-(-5)=16

Middle point would be \dfrac{16}{2}=8 from -5.

-5+8=3

So, x=3

The maximum height will be

(3-3)^2=-8(y-8)\\\Rightarrow y-8=0\\\Rightarrow y=8

The maximum height is 8 feet and the horizontal distance is 16 feet.

How do you solve these type of problems ?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves the Secant and Segments Theorem.

8(19 + 8) = 9(9 + x)

216 = 81 + 9x

9x = 135

x = 15

What is one possible solution for the triangle below?
elixir [45]
Answer:

segment YZ ≈ 19.4 in
angle X ≈ 85.3°
angle Z ≈ 26.7°

Explanation:

1) Given two side lenghts and one angle you can use sine law:

\frac{sinA}{a} = \frac{sinB}{b} = \frac{sinC}{c}

2) Using the sides with length 43 in and 40in, and the corresponding opposite angles, Z and 68°, that leads to:

\frac{sinZ}{43} = \frac{sin68}{40}

From which you can clear sinZ and get:

sinZ = 43 × sin(68) / 40 = 0.9967

⇒ Z = arcsine(0.9967) ≈ 85.36°


3) The third angle can be determined using 85.36° + 68° + X = 180°

⇒ X = 180° - 85.36° - 68° = 26.64°.

4) Finally, you can apply the law of sine to obtain the last missing length:

\frac{x}{sin(26.64)} = \frac{40}{sin(68)}

From which: x = 40 × sin(26.64°) /  sin(68°) = 19.34 in

The answer, then is:
segment YZ ≈ 19.4 in
angle X ≈ 85.3°
angle Z ≈ 26.7°

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points
Oksana_A [137]

The slope is ∞ , line is a vertical line parallel to y axis.

<h3>What is a Straight Line Function ?</h3>

A straight line function is a function that can be represented by y = mx +c , where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.

There are two points given for a line ,

The slope is represented  by

\rm m = \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\\\m = \dfrac{31-6}{1-1}

m = ∞

which means the line is a vertical line parallel to y axis.
