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.

Describe how the range of a data set can help describe its variability.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The range is defined as the difference between the term with the highest value and the term with the lowest value. This statistic is used to measure the variability of a series of data because it provides information on how far apart the values of a tail of the distribution are from the values at the other end of the tail.

Imagine that you manufacture a type of spare part for cars that must have a measurement of 10 cm with a margin of error of 1 cm.

This is:

10 ± 1 cm

Then you expect your manufacturing process to produce pieces with identical dimensions, that is, with little variability.

If you randomly select a sample of n pieces and measure them, the variability is expected to be low, so that your process is of quality, then expect a low range preferably less than 1 cm.

{10, 10.1, 10.5, 9.8, 9,6, 10.2} Range= 10.5 - 9.6 = 0.9 cm <em> low variability</em>

But if you find that the range is up to 8 cm, this would mean that not all pieces measure around 10 cm, it means that the variability of the measurements is high.

{14, 12, 11, 8, 7, 11, 12, 15} Range = 15 - 7 = 8 cm   <em>high variability </em>

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,3) and (-2,6)?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line, use the slope formula:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{6-3}{-2-2} =\frac{3}{-2+-2}=\frac{3}{-4}

The slope of the line is -3/4.
