The number of seconds for the ball to reach the maximum height is t = 1 s

What is a function rule?

The function rule is the relationship between the input or domain and the output or range. A relation is a function if and only if there exists one value in the range for every domain value.

A function is a relation from a set of inputs to a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Given data ,

Let the function be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

f ( x ) = -16t² + 32t + 128

The function h(t) gives the height of the ball at time t. The maximum height occurs at the vertex of the parabolic path, which is given by the formula:

t = -b / (2a)

where a = -16 and b = 32 are the coefficients of the quadratic term and the linear term, respectively.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

t = -32 / (2(-16)) = 1

Therefore, the ball reaches its maximum height after 1 second

Hence , the function is solved

To keep in shape, Vincent exercises at a track near his home. ​ ​He requires 40 minutes to do 4 laps running and 7 laps walking. ​In contrast, he requires 18 minutes to do 2 laps running and 3 laps walking. ​ ​Assuming he maintains a consistent pace while running and while walking, how long does Vincent take to complete a lap at each pace?

Answers

Answer:

He completes a lap running in 3 minutes, and walking in 4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the time needed to complete a lap running.

y is the time needed to complete a lap walking.

He requires 40 minutes to do 4 laps running and 7 laps walking.

This means that:

[tex]4x + 7y = 40[/tex]

[tex]4x = 40 - 7y[/tex]

He requires 18 minutes to do 2 laps running and 3 laps walking.

This means that

[tex]2x + 3y = 18[/tex]

Multipluing everything by 2

[tex]4x + 6y = 36[/tex]

Since [tex]4x = 40 - 7y[/tex]

[tex]40 - 7y + 6y = 36[/tex]

[tex]y = 4[/tex]

And

[tex]4x = 40 - 7y[/tex]

[tex]4x = 40 - 7*4[/tex]

[tex]4x = 12[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{12}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

He completes a lap running in 3 minutes, and walking in 4 minutes.

PLS Help While on a strenuous hike, Tara recorded her distance from the peak of the mountain at two different time intervals. The table shows the two pieces of data she collected.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line  representing the relation between distance from the peak of the mountain and time is,

h = mt + b

Here, m = Slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Since, slope of the line passing through two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by,

m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

From the table attached,

Slope of the line passing through (2, 2600) and (5, 950) will be,

m = [tex]\frac{2600-950}{2-5}[/tex]

   = -550

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

h = -550t + b

Since, point (2, 2600) lies on this line,

2600 = -550(2) + b

b = 2600 + 1100

b = 3700

So, equation of the line will be,

h = -550t + 3700

Input - output values for this line,

t            2             4            6  

h        2600      1500       400  

Now we can plot these points and get the graph of the line.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x - 20}{ x^2 + x - 20} = \frac{5}{9(x-4)}+\frac{4}{(x+5)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{x - 20}{ x^2 + x - 20}[/tex]

Required

Decompose into partial fraction

Start by factorizing the denominator:

[tex]x^2 + x - 20 =x^2 + 5x -4x- 20[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + x - 20 =x(x + 5)-4(x+5)[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + x - 20 =(x-4)(x+5)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{x - 20}{ x^2 + x - 20} = \frac{A}{x-4}+\frac{B}{x+5}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]\frac{x - 20}{ x^2 + x - 20} = \frac{A(x+5)+B(x-4)}{(x-4)(x+5)}[/tex]

Cancel out the denominator

[tex]x - 20 = A(x+5)+B(x-4)}[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]x - 20 = Ax+5A+Bx-4B[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]x - 20 = Ax+Bx+5A-4B[/tex]

[tex]x - 20 = (A+B)x+5A-4B[/tex]

By comparison;

[tex](A +B)x = x[/tex] ==>[tex]A + B = 1[/tex]

[tex]5A - 4B = 1[/tex]

Make A the subject in [tex]A + B = 1[/tex]

[tex]A = 1 - B[/tex]

Substitute 1 - B for A in [tex]5A - 4B = 1[/tex]

[tex]5(1-B) -4B = 1[/tex]

[tex]5-5B -4B = 1[/tex]

[tex]5-9B = 1[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]-9B = 1 - 5[/tex]

[tex]-9B = - 4[/tex]

[tex]B = \frac{4}{9}[/tex]

[tex]A = 1 - B[/tex]

[tex]A = 1 - \frac{4}{9}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{9-4}{9}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]

So:

[tex]\frac{x - 20}{ x^2 + x - 20} = \frac{A}{x-4}+\frac{B}{x+5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x - 20}{ x^2 + x - 20} = \frac{5}{9(x-4)}+\frac{4}{(x+5)}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\bar x =2.53[/tex] -- Mean

[tex]Median= 2[/tex]

[tex]Mode = 2[/tex]

[tex]Range = 8[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = 1[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 3[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 30

Data: 2 3 1 2 6 4 2 1 5 3 2 3 1 2 2 1 3 1 2 2 4 2 1 2 9 3 2 1 1 3

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x =\frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x =\frac{2 +3 +1 +2 +6 +4 +2 +1 +5 +3 +2 +3+ 1+ 2 +2 +1 +3 +1 +2 +2 +4 +2 +1 +2 +9 +3 +2 +1 +1 +3}{30}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x =\frac{76}{30}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x =2.53[/tex]

Solving (b): The median

First arrange the given data

Arranged: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 5 6 9

[tex]Median =\frac{1}{2}(n+1)[/tex]

[tex]Median =\frac{1}{2}(30+1)[/tex]

[tex]Median =\frac{1}{2}(31)[/tex]

[tex]Median = 15.5th[/tex]

This implies that the median is the average of the 15th and 16th item

[tex]Median = \frac{2+2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median= 2[/tex]

Solving (c): The mode

From the given data; 2 has the highest frequency of 11.

So,

[tex]Mode = 2[/tex]

Solving (d): The Range

[tex]Range = Highest\ Data - Lowest\ Data[/tex]

The highest is 9 and the lowest is 1,

So:

[tex]Range = 9 - 1[/tex]

[tex]Range = 8[/tex]

Solving (e): Lower (Q1) and Upper (Q3) quartile.

Q1 is calculated as:

[tex]Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(n+1)th[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(30+1)th[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(31)th[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = 7.75th[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = 8th\ item[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = 1[/tex] -- from the arranged data

Q3 is calculated as:

[tex]Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n+1)th[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(30+1)th[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(31)th[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 23.25th[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 23rd\ item[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 3[/tex] -- from the arranged data

Solving (f): The interquartile range (IQR)

[tex]IQR = Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 3-1[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 2[/tex]

Answer:

y = (1/4) 2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

y = a * x^n is the general equation. Let's see what that means.

Solution

Solve for x

t_12 = a x^12

1024 = a x^12

t_8 = a x^8

64 = a x^8

Now divide the two equations.

1024/64 = a x^12/a x^8       Cancel out the as

1024 / 64 = x^12 / x^8

16 = x^(12 - 8)

16 = x^4                               Take the 4th root of both sides.

[tex]\sqrt[4]{x^4}[/tex]  =  [tex]\sqrt[4]{16}[/tex]

x = 2

Go back and solve for a

y_12 = a x^12

1024 = a 2^12

1024 = a 4096                   Divide by 4096

1024 / 4096 = a

a = 1/4

Problem 7

a) First of negative numbers are probably not a good idea. It means that the population is going to decrease. That's not what will happen if you take care of the fruit flies.

So for the domain, 0 is a good starting point.

That will give you 100 flies on day 0. That's how many you bought.

I'm not a biologist so I have no idea in the world how long a fruit fly will live even with the best of care. I'm going to try 60 days and see what happens.

y = 100 * 1.05 ^60

y = 100 * 18.68

y = 1868

Is this number reasonable? Even with the biggest olive jar you can find, and the best care, I don't think that number is realistic. It's too large. Eventually all will die of disease because they are living in their own waste. So Let's try 20 days

y = 100 * 1.05^20

y = 100 * 2.65

y = 265

That's a lot more reasonable. So for convenience sake let us say that 265 flies could live for 20 days

So to answer the question

The domain would be 0 to 20

The range would be 100 to 265

b)

2 weeks = 2*7 days

2 weeks = 14 days

y = 100 * 1.05^14

y = 100 * 1.98

y = 198 fruit flies.

X1 = 5 hours

X2 = 5.5 hours

Hypothesis

H0: mu1 - mu2 = 0

H1 : mu1 - mu2 not equal to 0

Test statistic

t = (x1 - x2)/SE

SE is the standard error, which is unknown

SE = √sd1²/n1 + sd2²/n2

= √1.5²/9 + 1.3²/9

To test the effectiveness of a drug proposed to relieve symptoms of depression, psychiatrists recruited volunteers for clinical tests. All of the volunteers were diagnosed with symptoms of depression. The psychiatrists provided the drug to first group and a sugar pill to the second group. In the description of the above situation, determine the control group.

Answers

Answer:

The control group is the group that takes the sugar pill

Step-by-step explanation:

In drug testing, to determine the efficacy of a drug, different groups of experimental subjects are recruited, one group is given the drug to be tested (treatment group) while another group is given a placebo.

A placebo is a fake version of the drug to be tested that does not have any therapeutic effect on the test subjects that receive it. In this case, the control group receives the placebo which is the sugar pill. They serve as the baseline of measurement when the outcome of the effect of the drug testing is done. The groups that received the actual drugs are compared against the groups that received the hoax treatment, and any change occuring  in the test subjects become the changes occuring as a result of the test drug used, when the observations on the control group has been ruled out.

Ms. Gonzalez buys folders for her office. She buys 4 small folders for every 1 large folder. She buys 15 folders in all. Small folders cost $0.75, and large folders cost $1.25.

Let 'x' be the number of small folders and 'y' be the large folders. Then the equations are given as,

x + y = 15          ...1

y = 4x              ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

x + 4x = 15

5x = 15

x = 3

Then the value of 'y' is given as,

3 + y = 15

y = 12

The cost of the small folder is given as,

⇒ $0.75 × 3

⇒ $2.25

The cost of the large folder is given as,

⇒ $1.25 × 12

⇒ $15

The difference is given as,

⇒ $15 - $2.25

⇒ $12.75

The amount of money that Ms. Gonzalez spends on small folders than large folders will be $12.75.

My performance on the team had been modest at best, and we were playing the most important game of the season. A victory here would ensure a trip to the state's championship game (something our team had never done); a loss meant our season was unceremoniously finished. I glanced over at the towering behemoth with super-human strength on the pitcher's mound and approached home plate with the confidence of a cedar log before a wood chipper. Her pitching was stellar; she had struck out our first three batters immediately, and it had stunned our team. Astonished, we renewed our focus on the game with a laser-like concentration that was unprecedented. Still, I was the David to her Goliath. The first two pitches torpedoed by me like bullets. "STEE-RIKE!" the umpire bellowed. The following three pitches were hurled at me with the intention of luring me into swinging at a bad pitch. In mere seconds, it was a full count, and everything rested upon the next pitchand whether or not I swung my bat. I stepped back and breathed deeply, temporarily paralyzed with anxiety. Maybe David had felt this way when he faced Goliath, I thought. I glanced at the renowned pitcher and tried not to think about the fact that she was an all-star pitcher; that she had pitched so well that other teams had not scored a single run against her; that she had led her team to two state championships. I stepped back up to home plate and saw her nod her head as though she'd already struck me out. Keeping my eye on the ball, I raised my bat, my heart pounding in my ears. Then the ball was racing toward me, and before I could even think, I swung with a supernatural strength. CRACK! Stunning the pitcher (and myself), I hit the ball directly toward the pitcher who leaped at the ball in a feeble attempt to catch it. Fortunately for me, all she succeeded in doing was knocking it to the ground where it rolled around her feet while I sprinted for first base as if my life depended upon it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the pitcher pick up the softball and hurl it to first base. It was going to be close, so I put on a burst of speed and felt my foot hit the base just as the first baseman caught the ball. Did I make it? Was I out? I looked at the umpire. "SAFE!" she yelled. The relief that washed over me was a cool breeze on a hot summer day. We had the lead. It was a pivotal moment for our team. Inspired by the turn of events, we played the rest of the game with more grit than I had ever seen, and while we did not score another run, neither did the opposing team. We were headed to the championship.9Select all the correct answers.The biblical story of David and Goliath is about a young shepherd, David, who surprisingly defeats the giant Goliath in a battle between the two of them.In the passage "Facing a Giant," what are two ways that the allusion to David and Goliath helps develop the theme of never giving up?A: The narrator overcomes her fear of her opponent and focuses on securing a win for her team.
