The height of a basketball thrown by a 6 foot tall man follows a path defined by the function h(x)= -0.5^(2)+3x+6, where x is the horizontal distance from where it is thrown. How far away from the basket should the player stand in order for the ball to go in the basket (10 feet high) on its way down? Show all work.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The height of a basketball is given by the function:

[tex]h(x)=-0.5x^2+3x+6[/tex]

where x is the horizontal distance from where it is thrown.

To find:

How far away from the basket should the player stand in order for the ball to go in the basket (10 feet high) on its way down.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]h(x)=-0.5x^2+3x+6[/tex]

Putting [tex]h(x)=10[/tex], we get

[tex]10=-0.5x^2+3x+6[/tex]

[tex]10+\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-3x-6=0[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-3x+4=0[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2.

[tex]x^2-6x+8=0[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]x^2-4x-2x+8=0[/tex]

[tex]x(x-4)-2(x-4)=0[/tex]

[tex](x-2)(x-4)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=2,4[/tex]

In the given function the leading coefficient is negative, so the given function represents a downward parabola. It means, first the function is increasing after that the function is decreasing.

So, the value of the function is 10 at [tex]x=2[/tex] (its way up) and at [tex]x=4[/tex] (its way down.

Therefore, the player should stand 4 units away from the basket in order for the ball to go in the basket (10 feet high) on its way down.

1 gallon is consumed when the car travels 30 miles

2 gallons is consumed when the car travels 60 miles

total mile travelled when the gallons consumed is : 2 2/3 x 30

Use the quadratic formula to find out how long the rocket will take to hit the ground after it is launched. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.


A. 0 = –16t2 + 135t + 76; 0.5 s

B. 0 = –16t2 + 76t + 135; 9 s

C. 0 = –16t2 + 76t + 135; 0.5 s

D. 0 = –16t2 + 135t + 76; 9 s

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given initial velocity=135 ft/s

& cliff=76 foot

Given quadratic equation

⇒                      (let h=0 it is given)

⇒  

⇒  

⇒    t=8.96≈9 s (the other root is negative)

Hence, rocket will take 9 s to hit the ground after launched.

Answer:  Choice D

0 = 16t^2 + 135t + 76;  9 s

==============================================

Explanation:

The equation we start with is

[tex]h = -16t^2 + vt + c\\\\[/tex]

where v is the starting or initial velocity, and c is the starting height.

We're told that v = 135 and c = 76

We let h = 0 to indicate when the object hits the ground, aka the height is 0 ft.

That means the equation updates to [tex]0 = -16t^2 + 135t + 76\\\\[/tex]

Based on that alone, the answer is between A or D

-------------------

We'll use the quadratic formula to solve for t

We have

a = -16b = 135c = 76

So,

[tex]t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\t = \frac{-135 \pm \sqrt{135^2 - 4(-16)(76)}}{2(-16)}\\\\t = \frac{-135 \pm \sqrt{23,089}}{-32}\\\\t \approx \frac{-135 \pm 151.9506}{-32}\\\\t \approx \frac{-135 + 151.9506}{-32} \ \text{ or } \ t \approx \frac{-135 - 151.9506}{-32}\\\\t \approx \frac{16.9506}{-32} \ \text{ or } \ t \approx \frac{-286.9506}{-32}\\\\t \approx -0.52971 \ \text{ or } \ t \approx 8.96721\\\\[/tex]

We ignore the negative t value because a negative time duration makes no sense.

The only practical solution here is roughly 8.96721 which rounds to 9.0 or simply 9 when we round to the nearest tenth (one decimal place).

In short, the object will hit the ground at the 9 second mark roughly. Or put another way: the object is in the air for about 9 seconds.

From this, we can see that the final answer is choice D.

The diagram above shows a plan for a park. ABCD is a rectangle.
APB and DQC are semicircles centred at X and Y.
Given AB = 7 cm and AC = 25 cm.
Calculate the perimeter of the park in cm.​

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter of the park = 70 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the park = perimeter of the 2 semicircles + 2(length of the rectangle)

Perimeter = 2πr + 2(BC)

✔️Perimeter of the 2 semicircles = 2πr

Where,

radius (r) = ½(AB) = ½(7)

r = 3.5 cm

Perimeter = 2*π*3.5 = 7*π

Perimeter of the two semicircles = 21.9911486 ≈ 22 cm

✔️Find BC using Pythagorean theorem:

Thus,

BC = √(AC² - AB²)

AC = 25

AB = 7

BC = √(25² - 7²) = √576

BC = 24

✔️Perimeter of the park = perimeter of the 2 semicircles + 2(length of the rectangle)

Perimeter of the park = 22 + 2(24)

= 22 + 48

= 70 cm
