A ball is thrown upward and outward from a height of 77 feet. the height of the​ ball, f(x), in​ feet, can be modeled by f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals negative 0.2 x squared plus 1.4 x plus 7f(x)=−0.2x2+1.4x+7 where x is the​ ball's horizontal​ distance, in​ feet, from where it was thrown. use this model to solve parts​ (a) through​ (c).

Answers

Answer 1
From the given function modeling the height of the ball:
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
A] The maximum height of the ball will be given by:
At max height f'(x)=0
from f(x), 
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
thus the maximum height would be:
f(3.5)=-0.2(3.5)^2+1.4(3.5)+7
f(3.5)=9.45 ft

b]
How far from where the ball was thrown did this occur:
from (a), we see that at maximum height f'(x)=0
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
This implies that it occurred 3.5 ft from where the ball was thrown.


 c] How far does the ball travel horizontally?
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
evaluationg the expression when f(x)=0 we get:
0=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
Using quadratic equation formula:
x=-3.37386 or x=10.3739
We leave out the negative and take the positive answer. Hence the answer 10.3739 ft horizontally.

Using a rain gauge, Gerry determined that 1/2 inch of rain fell during 3/4 of an hour. What is the unit rate of rainfall in inches per hour?

Answers

Your answer was wrong. You flip 3/4 to 4/3
1/2 ÷3/4 =
1/2 ×4/3 =  4/6
4/6 ÷2  = 2/3 is the answer

Final answer:

To calculate the unit rate of rainfall in inches per hour, divide the amount of rainfall (1/2 inch) by the duration (3/4 hour), which gives 2/3 inches per hour.

Explanation:

The student is asking how to find the unit rate of rainfall in inches per hour when given that 1/2 inch of rain fell during 3/4 of an hour. To find the unit rate, divide the total amount of rainfall by the total time to get the amount of rain per one hour.

Step-by-step calculation:

Amount of rainfall: 1/2 inch

Duration of rainfall: 3/4 hour

To find inches per hour, divide the amount of rainfall by the duration:

(1/2 inch) / (3/4 hour) = (1/2) / (3/4) = (1/2) * (4/3) = 4/6 = 2/3 inches per hour.

Therefore, the unit rate of rainfall is 2/3 inches per hour.

Estimate the size of a crowd standing along 1 mile section of parade route that is 10 feet deep on both sides of the street assume that each person occupies 2.5 square feet
A) 21,120
B) 42,240
C) 84,480
D) 168,960

Answers

The correct answer is option B). The size of a crowd standing along 1 mile section of parade route that is 10 feet deep on both sides of the street is 42,240.

To estimate the size of the crowd, we need to calculate the total area occupied by the crowd and then divide by the area occupied by each person.

First, let's calculate the total area available for the crowd on both sides of the street:

The length of the parade route is 1 mile. Since there are 5280 feet in a mile, the length in feet is 5280.

The depth of the crowd on both sides of the street is 10 feet.

Therefore, the total area available for the crowd on both sides is:

Total area = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] (Depth of crowd) [tex]\times[/tex] (Length of parade route)

Total area = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 10 feet [tex]\times[/tex] 5280 feet

Total area = 105,600 square feet

Next, we need to calculate how many people can fit in this area:

Each person occupies 2.5 square feet.

The number of people that can fit in the total area is:

Number of people = Total area / Area per person

Number of people = 105,600 square feet / 2.5 square feet per person

Number of people = 42,240.

A triangle has side lengths 4, 7 and 9. What is the measure of the angle across from the longest side?

92 = 42 + 72 − 2g4g7cos(A)
81 = 16 + 49 − 56cos(A)
81 = 9cos(A)
9 = cos(A)
A cannot exist!

Gabe tried to use the law of cosines to find an unknown angle measure in a triangle. His work is shown. What is Gabe’s error?

Gabe reversed the order of the 9 and the 4.

Gabe squared the numbers incorrectly.

Gabe should not have subtracted 56 from
16 + 49.

Gabe incorrectly stated that cos–1(9) is not defined.

Answers

The third choice is the best:
  Gabe should not have subtracted 56 from 16+49.

_____
Rather, Gabe should have subtracted 16+49 from 81 to get
16 = -56cos(A)
cos(A) = -16/56 = -2/7
A = arccos(-2/7) ≈ 106.6°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a triangle has sides 4,7 and 9

A student Gabe tried to use law of cosines to find unknown angle measure

The angle is opposite side 9 because angle across the longest side is given

He used cosine formula for triangles

[tex]a^2=b^2+c^2-2bccosA\\9^2 = 4^2+7^2-2(4)(8) cosA\\81-65 =-56 cosA\\[/tex]

But instead he adjusted -56 with 16 +49 which is wrong

Because -56 has product as cosA it is not like term as other constants

So correct step should be

81 = 65-56 Cos A

Gabe should not have subtracted 56 from  

16 + 49.

In 1983, a year-long newspaper subscription cost $12.75. Today, a year-long newspaper subscription costs $28.50. If the CPI is 193, what is the relation of the actual price of a year-long newspaper subscription to the expected price, to the nearest cent? a. The actual price is $14.79 higher than the expected price. b. The actual price is $3.89 higher than the expected price. c. The actual price is $9.20 lower than the expected price. d. The actual price is $11.86 lower than the expected price

Answers

Based on the CPI, the expected price is
  $12.75 * 193/100 = $24.61

The actual price is $28.50 -24.61 = $3.89 more than expected. The appropriate choice is ...
  b. The actual price is $3.89 higher than the expected price.

Answer:

Option b - The actual price is $3.89 higher than the expected price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In 1983, a year-long newspaper subscription cost $12.75. Today, a year-long newspaper subscription costs $28.50. If the CPI is 193

To find : What is the relation of the actual price of a year-long newspaper subscription to the expected price, to the nearest cent?

Solution :

CPI is the consumer price index.

The formula of CPI is

[tex]\text{CPI}=\frac{\text{Cost of newspaper subscription in Given Year}}{\text{Cost of newspaper subscription in Base Year}}\times 100[/tex]

We have given CPI = 193

Cost of newspaper subscription in Base Year = $12.75

We have to find cost of newspaper subscription in Given Year

[tex]193=\frac{\text{Cost of newspaper subscription in Given Year}}{12.75}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Cost of newspaper subscription in Given Year}=\frac{193\times12.75}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Cost of newspaper subscription in Given Year}=\frac{2460.75}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Cost of newspaper subscription in Given Year}=24.61[/tex]

The actual price of newspaper subscription  = $28.50

The expected price of newspaper subscription = $24.61

Now, to find how much higher they expected is

$28.50 -$24.61 = $3.89

Therefore, Option b is correct.

The actual price is $3.89 higher than the expected price.

What is the area of the region between the graphs of y=x^2 and y=-x from x=0 to x=2?

_____________

The area between [tex]\( y = x^2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y = -x \) from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 2 \) is \( \frac{14}{3} \)[/tex] square units, found by integrating [tex]\( x^2 + x \)[/tex] from 0 to 2.

Intersection Points: To find the area between [tex]\( y = x^2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y = -x \)[/tex] from [tex]\( x = 0 \) to \( x = 2 \)[/tex], first find their intersection points by setting [tex]\( x^2 = -x \)[/tex]. This gives [tex]\( x^2 + x = 0 \)[/tex], which factors to [tex]\( x(x + 1) = 0 \)[/tex], yielding [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( x = -1 \)[/tex] as the intersection points.

Limits of Integration: We are interested in the area between these curves from [tex]\( x = 0 \) to \( x = 2 \)[/tex]. Since[tex]\( x = -1 \)[/tex] lies outside this interval, we only consider [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex].

Integration: The area can be calculated by integrating the difference between the upper curve [tex]\( y = x^2 \)[/tex] and the lower curve [tex]\( y = -x \) from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 2 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Area} = \int_{0}^{2} (x^2 - (-x)) \, dx \][/tex]

Sure, here is the rewritten line:

Integrating term by term:

[tex]\[ = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{2} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = \left( \frac{2^3}{3} + \frac{2^2}{2} \right) - \left( \frac{0^3}{3} + \frac{0^2}{2} \right) \][/tex]

Options A, B, and D are geometric sequences because they have a constant ratio between successive terms. Option A has a ratio of 3, option B has a ratio of 0.5, and option D has a ratio of 2. Option C is an arithmetic sequence and not geometric.

Explanation:

The question asks which of the listed sequences are geometric sequences. A geometric sequence is characterized by a constant ratio between successive terms. Let's analyze each option:

A. 1,3,9,27,81 - Each term is multiplied by 3 to get the next term, hence it is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 3.

B. 10,5,2.5,1.25,0.625, 0.3125 - Each term is multiplied by 0.5 (or divided by 2) to get the next term, hence it is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 0.5.

C. 3,6,9,12,15,18 - The difference between successive terms is constant (+3), making it an arithmetic sequence, not geometric.

D. 5,10,20,40,80,160 - Each term is multiplied by 2 to get the next term, hence it is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.

Therefore, options A, B, and D are geometric sequences, while option C is not.

Answers

The net present value of the  project can be calculated as follows:

NPV = - Cost + present value of all cash flows

Cost = $350,000
Present value of all cash flows = C*{[1-(1+r)^-n]/r}
Where C = Yearly cash flows = $140,000, r = discount rate = 9%, n = time of generating cash flows = 3 years.

Therefore,

NPV = -350,000 + 140,000*{[1-(1+0.09)^-3]/0.09} = $4,381.25
