Write a function to represent the point (x,y) being translated of 3 units to the right and 2 units down.

2. The path of a high diver is given by y = + (2x2 – 9x – 56), where y is the height of the diver

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The diver will be 8 feet from the end of the board when he hits the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diver hits the water when y = 0.

To find the distance, we have to find the values of x when y = 0.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this problem, we have that:

$y = 2x^{2} - 9x - 56$

$2x^{2} - 9x - 56 = 0$

So

$a = 2, b = -9, c = -56$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac = (-9)^{2} - 4*2(-56) = 529$

$x_{1} = \frac{-(-9) + \sqrt{529}}{2*2} = 8$

$x_{2} = \frac{-(-9) - \sqrt{529}}{2*2} = -3.5$

It is a horizontal distance, so the answer is a positive value.

The diver will be 8 feet from the end of the board when he hits the water.

The coordinates of rectangle ABCD are A(1, 2), B(4, 5),C(9, 0) and D(6, -3). What is the area of the rectangle? 18 square units

Natali5045456 [20]

In order to find the area of a rectangle, the formula is L*W (Length multiplied by Width). Our goal is to find these two measurements, so we will take the following steps:
1) Plot the coordinates on a graph (I have attached a visual guide)
2) Using the Pythagorean Theorem, or the Distance formula we can find the length and width: $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1} )^{2}$
3) We will use these values in the Area formula for a rectangle (L*W)
4) After solving the Area formula with the values retrieved from the Distance Formula we find that the area is roughly 30 units squared.

Each morning Rin rides 1.5 miles to school and then rides home in the afternoon. Later in the evening, she rides to the park and

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Last equation given in the list of possible answers:

5 ( 1.5 + 1.5 + x ) = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to include in the total addition of miles ridden during the week:

a) 1.5 miles to the school

b) 1.5 miles from school back home

c) x miles for the evening ride

so for the miles ridden per day we have: "1.5 +1.5 + x"

Now, since per week she does 5 days like this, then we need to multiply the expression above by 5 in order to total the number of miles she rides weekly (25 miles)

5 ( 1.5 + 1.5 + x ) = 25

And we can use this equation to find the amount "x" that Rin rides in the evening.

Write a problem that involves finding the unknown measure of a side of a rectangle include the solution?

tankabanditka [31]

Problem:
The area of the patio of a relative's house is 20 square meters.
The width of the patio is 2 meters.
What is the length of the patio?
Solution:
The area is:
A = (w) * (l)
Where,
w: width
l: long
Clearing l we have:
l = A / w
Substituting values:
l = 20/2
l = 10 meters
