A banner is hung for a party. The distance from a point on the bottom edge of the banner to the floor can be determined by using

the function f(x) = 0.25 x2 − x + 9.5 , where x is the distance, in feet, of the point from the left end of the banner. How high above the floor is the lowest point on the bottom edge of the banner? Explain.

That's possible when function tends to zero

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 0.25x^2-x+9.5=0

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1/4x^2-x+19/2=0

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow x^2-x+38=0

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1-152}}{2}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{151}i}{2}

Answer:

8.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 0.25x^2 - x + 9.5

To find the minimum point of the function, differentiate:

f'(x) = 0.5x - 1

set to zero and solve for x:

f'(x) =0\\ \implies0.5x - 1=0\\\implies x=2

Substitute found value of x into function to find y (height):

f(2) = 0.25(2)^2 - 2 + 9.5=8.5

Therefore, the lowest point on the bottom edge of the banner is 8.5 ft above the floor.

a sequence has a first term of 2 and a constant ratio of _3/2 what are the first five terms of the sequence
soldi70 [24.7K]
This is a geometric sequence with a=2, r= -3/2.
Therefore,
a₁ = 2
a₂ = 2*(-3/2) = -3
a₃ = 2*(-3/2)² = 9/2 = 4.5
a₄ = 2(-3/2)³ = -27/4 = -6.75
a₅ = 2(-3/2)⁴ = 81/8 = 10.125

Answer:
In fractions, the first five terms are
     2, -3, 9/2, -27/4, 81/8
In decimals, the first five terms are
     2.000, -3.000, 4.500, -6.750, 10.125

Without finding the inverse of the function determine the range of the inverse of F(x) = the square root of x-4
Nastasia [14]
The rang of an inverse function is the domain of the normal function
So you just gotta find the domain of that which is x is greater than or equal to 0

What is the cosine of angle F?
IceJOKER [234]
Cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse
The adjacent side to angle F is 60, and the hypotenuse is 61
Therfore, C) 60/61 would be the correct choice
hope this helps:)

Arrange the circles (represented by their equations in general form) in ascending order of their radius lengths. X2 y2 − 2x 2y −
Colt1911 [192]

Circles (represented by their equations in general form) in ascending order of their radius lengths can be arranged as first-fifth-second-forth-third-seventh-sixth.

<h3>What is the equation of circle?</h3>

The equation of the circle is the equation which is used to represent the circle in the algebraic equation form with the value of center point in the coordinate plane and measure of radius.

The standard form of the equation of the circle can be given as,

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Here (h,k) is the center of the circle and (r) is the radius of the circle.

Lets arrange the first equation, in standard form of equation of circle as,

x^2 +y^2 - 2x+ 2y -1 = 0 \\(x^2 - 2x) +(y^2+ 2y )= 1\\(x^2 - 2x+1) +(y^2+ 2y +1)= 1+1+1\\(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=(\sqrt{3})^2

The radius of this circle is √(3).

Lets arrange the second equation, in standard form of equation of circle as,

x^2 +y^2 - 4x+ 4y - 10 = 0  \\(x^2 - 4x) +(y^2+ 4y )= 10\\(x^2 - 4x+4) +(y^2+ 4y +4)= 10+4+4\\(x-2)^2+(y+2)^2=(\sqrt{18})^2

The radius of this circle is √(18).

Lets arrange the third equation, in standard form of equation of circle as,

x^2 +y^2 - 8x - 6y - 20 = 0   \\(x^2 - 8x) +(y^2-6y )= 20\\(x^2 - 8x+16) +(y^2- 6y +9)= 10+16+9\\(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2=(\sqrt{45})^2

The radius of this circle is √(45).

Similarly, radius of the forth, fifth, sixth and seventh circle is √(23), √(5), √(117) and √(46) units.

Hence, the circles (represented by their equations in general form) in ascending order of their radius lengths can be arranged as first-fifth-second-forth-third-seventh-sixth.
