Answers

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. The full question is below.

The path of a particular punt follows the quadratic function

[tex]h(x)=\frac{-1}{8}(x-25)^{2}+50[/tex]

where h(x) is the height of the ball in yards and x corresponds to the horizontal distance in yards. Assume x=0 corresponds to midfield (the 50 yards line). For example, x=20 corresponds to the punter's own 30 yard line, whereas corresponds to the other team's 30 yard line.

a. Find the maximum height the ball achieves.

b. Find the horizontal distance the ball covers. Assume the height is zero when the ball is kicked and when the ball is caught.

Answer: a. Maximum height = 50

              b. Horizontal distance = 40

Step-by-step explanation: A quadratic function has its maximum or minimum point on its vertex.

When the function is negative, function has a maximum point.

The quadratic function h(x) is written in vertex form, meaning the coordinate of vertex is explicit in the function.

General vertex form: [tex]f(x)=A(x-h)^{2}+k[/tex]

A is vertical scaling parameter

(h,k) are the coordinates of vertex

So, the quadratic function for the height for the ball:

[tex]h(x)=\frac{-1}{8}(x-25)^{2}+50[/tex]

shows its vertex:

(h,k) = (25,50)

a. The maximum height the ball achieves the maximum value corresponds to the y-axis, which means, maximum height is 50 yards.

b. Horizontal distance is when h(x)=0, so:

[tex]\frac{-1}{8}(x-25)^{2}+50=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-1}{8}(x-25)^{2}=-50[/tex]

[tex](x-25)^{2}=400[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}-50x+625=400[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}-50x+225=0[/tex]

Solving quadratic equation:

[tex]x_{1}=\frac{50+\sqrt{1600} }{2}[/tex] = 45

[tex]x_{2}=\frac{50-\sqrt{1600} }{2}[/tex] = 5

When ball is kicked, it is in position 5. When is caught, is position 45. So, distance the balls covers is 40 yards.

The management of Hartman Rent-A-Car has allocated $2.52 million to buy a fleet of new automobiles consisting of compact, intermediate-size, and full-size cars. Compacts cost $18,000 each, intermediate-size cars cost $27,000 each, and full-size cars cost $36,000 each. If Hartman purchases twice as many compacts as intermediate-size cars and the total number of cars to be purchased is 100, determine how many cars of each type will be purchased. (Assume that the entire budget will be used. Let x, y, and z denote the number of compact, intermediate-sized, and full-size cars purchased, respectively.)

Answers

Answer:

The number of compact cars = x = 30 cars

The number of intermediate-sized car = y = 60 cars

The number of full-size cars purchased = z = 10 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote:

the number of compact car = x

the number of intermediate-sized car = y

the number of full-size cars purchased = z

The total number of cars to be purchased is 100.

Hence:

x + y + z = 100...........Equation 1

If Hartman purchases twice as many compacts as intermediate-size cars

y = 2x

So: x + 2x + z = 100..........Equation 2

= 3x + z = 100

z = 100 - 3x

Compacts cost $18,000 each, Intermediate-size cars cost $27,000

Full-size cars cost $36,000 each.

Assume that the entire budget will be used.

Hence,

x × $18,000 + y × $27,000 + z × $36,000 = $2,520,000.

18000x + 27000y + 36,000z = $2,520,000.....Equation 4

Substitute 100 - 3x for z and y = 2x in Equation 4

18000x + 27000(2x) + 36,000(100 - 3x) = $2520000

18000x + 54000x + 3,600,000 -108000x = $2520000

72000x -108000x + 3,600,000 = $2,520,000

= $3,600,000 - $2,520,000 = 108000x - 72,000x

$1,080,000 = 36,000x

Divide both sides by $36,000

x = $1080000/36000

x = 30

From the above:

y = 2x

y = 2 × 30

= 60

z = 100 - 3x

= 100 - 3 × 30

= 100 - 90

= 10

Therefore,

The number of compact cars = x = 30 cars

The number of intermediate-sized car = y = 60 cars

The number of full-size cars purchased = z = 10 cars

for the line to have a constant slope, the difference of every y- ordinate with the last ordinate has to be equal

to check this, we will use the following formula

y4 - y3 = y2 - y1  

if both the LHS and the RHS are equal, the slope is constant and is irregular otherwise

5 - 8 = 7 - 3

-3 = 4

LHS ≠ RHS

Since LHS is not equal to RHS, the slope is NOT constant and hence keeps increasing or decreasing irregularly

Therefore, option 4 (Not a line) is correct

The actual volumes of quart-size jars of Hellmann's mayonnaise are uniformly distributed from 31.58 to 32.51 fluid ounces. Find the standard deviation in volumes of quart-size Hellmann's mayonnaise jars (in fluid ounces). NOTE: There are 32 fluid ounces in a quart.

Answers

Answer:

0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a uniform distribution is:

σ² = (b − a)² / 12

σ² = (32.51 − 31.58)² / 12

σ² = 0.0721

σ = 0.268

Rounded to the hundredths place, the standard deviation is 0.27.

To solve this question, we use concepts of the uniform probability distribution.

Using this, we get that the standard deviation in volumes of quart-size Hellmann's mayonnaise jars is of 0.2685 fluid ounces.

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The standard deviation is:

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^2}{12}}[/tex]

The actual volumes of quart-size jars of Hellmann's mayonnaise are uniformly distributed from 31.58 to 32.51 fluid ounces.

This means that [tex]a = 31.58, b = 32.51[/tex]

Find the standard deviation in volumes of quart-size Hellmann's mayonnaise jars (in fluid ounces).

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(32.51 - 31.58)^2}{12}} = 0.2685[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation is of 0.2685 fluid ounces.

The record low temperature in Pittsburgh, PA is ​-22°F. The record high is 103°F. What is the difference in the record high and the record low temperatures?

Answers

Answer:

The difference in the record high and the record low temperatures is 125°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quantity T that varies in time, say T1 and T2, being T1 the initial value and T2 the final value.

The change or difference between the final and the initial values is:

T=T2-T1

The record low temperature in Pittsburgh, PA is T1=-22°F while its record high is T2=103°F

The difference is:

T=103°F - (-22°F)

Note both negative signs multiply to produce a positive sign, and a sum instead of a subtraction:

T=103°F + 22°F = 125°F

The difference in the record high and the record low temperatures is 125°F
