A roller coaster at XTRA Fun Rides goes into an underground tunnel during the first descent of the

Mathematics
1 answer:
gregori [183]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y-intercept:  (0, 75) ⇒ y = 75

x-intercepts:  (3, 0) and (5, 0) ⇒ x = 3 and x = 5

vertex: (4, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x-axis be the ground (when y = 0).  Therefore underground when y < 0 and overground when y > 0

The function is a quadratic:  f(x) = ax² + bx + c

If the coaster enters the tunnel three seconds after the first descent starts and stays in the tunnel for a total of 2 seconds, then y = 0 when x = 3 and x = 5

Also, when x = 1, y = 40

  • f(3) = 0
    ⇒ 9a + 3b + c = 0
  • f(5) = 0
    ⇒ 25a + 5b + c = 0
  • f(1) = 40
    ⇒ a + b + c = 40

Solve 2 equations simultaneously:

  • 9a + 3b + c = 0
  • 25a + 5b + c = 0
  • a + b + c = 40

⇒ a = 5  b = -40  c = 75

⇒ f(x) = 5x² - 40x + 75

<u>y-intercept</u>

when x = 0

⇒ f(0) = 5(0²) - 40(0) + 75 = 75

⇒ y-intercept = (0, 75)

<u>x-intercepts</u>

x = 3 and x = 5

<u>Vertex</u>

If the x-intercepts are when x = 3 and x = 5, then vertex is when x = 4

⇒ f(4) = 5(4²) - 40(4) + 75 = -5

⇒ vertex = (4, -5)

Place these numbers on the number line. 1/4, 2/3, 3/4, 6/8
Lelu [443]
The best way to put them into a number line is to make sure that they've all got the same denominator, which in this case, will be 24, as this is the lowest common multiple of 3,4 and 8. You will then need to multiply these fractions accordingly. The first one (1/4) will need to be multiplied by 6 to get a denominator of 24, so this will then give you a result of 6/24. The second one (2/3), will need to be multiplied by 8, which will then give you a result of 16/24. The third one (3/4)will also need to be multiplied by 6, giving you 18/24. The final one (6/8) will need to be multiplied by 3, giving you 18/24. You will then need to put these in order, which will be- 1/4, 2/3, 3/4, and 6/8. The alternative method is to turn these into decimals- 1/4 is equivalent to 25%, which is equal to 0.25. 2/3 is equivalent to 66.66%, which is equivalent to 0.66. 3/4 is equivalent to 75%, which is equal to 0.75. 6/8 is also equivalent to 75%, which is equal to 0.75, you can then easily line them up this way. Hope this has been able to help you

Solve each given equation and show your work. Tell whether each question has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or n
laiz [17]
2x + 4(x - 1) = 2 + 4x
2x + 4x - 4 = 2 + 4x
6x - 4 = 2 + 4x
6x - 4x = 2 + 4
2x = 6
x = 3........there is 1 solution

25 - x = 15 - (3x + 10)
25 - x = 15 - 3x - 10
25 - x = -3x + 5
3x - x = 5 - 25
2x = - 20
x = -20/2
x = -10.....there is 1 solution

4x = 2x + 2x + 5(x - x)
4x = 4x + 5x - 5x
4x = 4x......this has infinite solutions

learn this...
if ur equation ends in a variable equaling a number, then there is one solution.
if ur equation ends in something not equal, like 2 = 4, or 4 = 6, then there is 0 solutions.
if ur equation ends in something equal to something,(the same) like 2 = 2, or 4x = 4x, then there is infinite solutions
