Mathematics

Softa [21]2 years ago

Answer:

The height of the missile in the air after 11 seconds is 330 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for the quadratic function f(x)= , which is the function of the parabola model.

We are given two points.

(1, 130) and (2, 240)

Here the first coordinate represents the x (time) and the second coordinate represents h(x), which is height.

Now plug these two coordinates and find the two equations.

(1, 130), the equation is

130 = a.(1)^2 + b(1) + c, where "c" is the initial height. Which is equal to zero.

Therefore, we get

130 = a + b + 0

a + b = 130 -------(1)

Now let's form the second equation using the coordinate (2, 240)

240 =

240 = 4a + 2b -------------(2)

Now let's solve the equations (1) and (2) and find the value of "a" and "b"

a + b = 130 can be written as a = 130 - b

Here we can use the substitution method.

Now plug in a = 130 - b in the second equation, we get

240 = 4(130 - b) + 2b

240 = 520 - 4b + 2b

240 = 520 - 2b

2b = 520 - 240

2b = 280

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

b = 140

Now plug in b = 140 in a = 130 -b and find the value of a

a = 130 - 140

a = -10

Now we got a = -10 and b = 140.

We plug in a = -10 and b = 140 in the general form, we gety

h(x) =

Where c is the initial height, which is equal to 0.

h(x) =

Now plug in x = 11 seconds and find the height.

h(11) = -10(11)^2 + 140 (11)

= -10 (121) + 1540

= - 1210 + 1540

h(11) = 330 feet,

Therefore, the height of the missile in the air after 11 seconds is 330 feet

Answer:

y = - 5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do (always) is pay attention to x =0. That at least gives you a partial answer. y = y' - 1. when you put 0 in for whatever y' is you get 0. What about the other numbers? How did they come about.

We have another clue. Whenever you put in a positive number for x, you get a negative answer for y. That's interesting. So y' has a minus sign associated with it.

y = -ax - 1    Make a>0 so there is only 1 minus sign. x cannot have an even power, because an even power would make everything positive except the -1.  

So we'll start with y= - ax - 1 We'll also make the assumption that a = 1

y = - x - 1 That won't work. a >1 otherwise x = 2 won't give - 11

y = -ax - 1

let x = 2

let y = - 11 Solve for a

y = - ax - 1

- 11 = -a*-2 - 1       add   1  to both sides

-11 + 1 = - a(-2) - 1 + 1

- 10 = -2a             Divide by - 2

- 10/-2 = -2a/-2

a = 5

Answer: y = - 5x - 1

Find the volume of cylinder<br> Diameter of base is 11 cm<br> Height of cylinder is 16cm
just olya [345]

Answer:

1520.5 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume formula for cylinder: V = πr²×h

Radius = 11 ÷ 2

           = 5.5cm

Volume = π × 5.5² × 16

             =1520.5cm³

Pam and Amanda and Mike work at different clothing stores. Amanda made twice what Pam earned and Julie
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Pam: $181

Amanda: $362

Julie: $452

Step-by-step explanation:

(What does Mike have to do with this problem?)

Let a = Amanda's pay

Let p = Pam's pay

Let j = Julie's pay

"Amanda made twice what Pam earned"

a = 2p

"Julie made $90 more than Amanda"

j = a + 90

j = 2p + 90

Pam earned p

Total salary

a + p + j = 2p + p + 2p + 90

Total salary

$995

2p + p + 2p + 90 = 995

5p = 905

p = 181

a = 2p = 2(181) = 362

j = 2p + 90 = 362 + 90 = 452

Answer:

Pam: $181

Amanda: $362

Julie: $452

Geometry math question please help
Pie

Line BE and KE are the same length, so set the 2 equations to equal and solve for P.

7p+7 = 37-3p

Add 3 p to both sides:

10p +7 = 37

Subtract 7 from each side:

10p = 30

Divide both sides by 10:

p = 30/10

p = 3

The answer is B.
