Algebra 2 - Standard form of a quadratic function

1. A field goal kicker discussed his performance with this coach. Based on the coach’s data, the kicker usually kicks the ball so it reaches a maximum height of 50 yards
after it has traveled 25 yards down the field. What is the equation, in standard form, of the kick? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth


2. If the goal posts are 10 yards high, what is the minimum and maximum distance that his kick will make it over the goalpost? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answers

Answer 1

Using quadratic function concepts, it is found that:

1) The equation is [tex]y = -0.08x^2 + 4x[/tex]

2) The minimum distance is of 2.64 yards, and the maximum is of 47.36 yards.

A quadratic equation has the following format:

[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

In this problem:

The ball was kicked from the ground, thus [tex]y(0) = 0[/tex], which means that c = 0.

Item 1:

The vertex is: [tex]V(x_v,y_v)[/tex], in which:

[tex]x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]y_v = -\frac{\Delta}{4a} = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}[/tex]

In this problem, it is (25,50). Thus:

[tex]-\frac{b}{2a} = 25[/tex]

[tex]-b = 50a[/tex]

[tex]b = -50a[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a} = 50[/tex]

[tex]-b^2 = 200a[/tex]

[tex]-(50a)^2 = 200a[/tex]

[tex]-2500a^2 - 200a = 0[/tex]

[tex]200a(-12.5a - 1) = 0[/tex]

Then, as [tex]a \neq 0[/tex]

[tex]a = -\frac{1}{12.5} = -0.08[/tex]

[tex]b = -50a = -50(-0.08) = 4[/tex]

Thus, the equation, in standard form, is:

[tex]y = -0.08x^2 + 4x[/tex]

Item 2:

The distances are the values of x for which:

[tex]y = 10[/tex]

Then

[tex]-0.08x^2 + 4x = 10[/tex]

[tex]-0.08x^2 + 4x - 10 = 0[/tex]

Which is a quadratic equation with [tex]a = -0.08, b = 4, c = -10[/tex]. Then:

[tex]\Delta = 4^2 - 4(-0.08)(-10) = 12.8[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-4 + \sqrt{12.8}}{2(-0.08)} = 2.64[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-4 - \sqrt{12.8}}{2(-0.08)} = 47.36[/tex]  

The minimum distance is of 2.64 yards, and the maximum is of 47.36 yards.

Answers

Answers:

Mode = 2Median = 2Mean = 2.8

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

Work Shown:

Original set = {5, 2, 5, 3, 1, 6, 2, 2, 3, 4, 2, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3}

Sorted set = {1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6}

Do not toss out the duplicates.

The most occurring or most frequent value is 2, so this is the mode.

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

To find the median, we divide the n = 20 item set into two parts

n/2 = 10

So we'll count to the 10th slot to get to the number "2", which is the second to last "2" in the sorted list shown above.

The number just after this is also "2" in the 11th slot. Average these two values to get (2+2)/2 = 4/2 = 2

The median is 2.

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

To find the mean, we need to first add up all the data values.

1+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+3+3+3+3+4+4+5+5+6 = 56

Then divide this over n = 20 to get 56/20 = 2.8

The mean is 2.8

The mean being larger than the median tells us we have an outlier that is larger than the main cluster. Those outliers are 5 and 6.

The diagonals of a rhombus measure 16 cm and 30 cm .find its perimeter ( in easy way)?

Answers

Answer:

68 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD be a rhombus, all sides of the rhombus have equal length and its diagonal AC and BD are intersecting each other at a point O.

As we know that the diagonals in the rhombus bisect each other at 90°.

So, AO can be written as (AC/2)  

= 16/2  

= 8 cm

And, DO can be written as (BD/2)

= 30/2  

= 15 cm

Then, consider the triangle AOD and apply Pythagoras theorem,  

AD2 = AO2 + DO2

AD2 = 82 + 152

AD2 = 64 + 225

AD2 = 289

AD = √289

AD = 17 cm

Hence, the length of each side of the rhombus is 17 cm

Now,

The perimeter of rhombus = 4 × side of the rhombus

= 4 × 17

= 68 cm

Therefore, the perimeter of the rhombus is 68 cm.

Answers

Answer:

{t: 0.6 < t < 99.4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use one of the equations of motion under gravity.

s = ut + 0.5gt^2       where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity and t = the time.

So we have:

1000 = 1600t  + 0.5* -32*t^2            ( acc due to gravity is negative as we are acting against it).

16t^2 - 1600t + 1000 = 0

t =  (1660 +/- sqrt(1600^2 - 4*16*1000) / 32

This gives t = 0.629 , 99.371 seconds.

So the time is above 0.6 seconds (to the nearest tenth) and before 99.4 seconds.

A swift is a bird that can fly 3 times faster than a wolf can run. A swift can fly 120 miles per hour. Which equation would be used to find how fast w, a wolf can run

120 x w = 3w

W x 3 =120

3 + w = 120

120 + 3 = 3

Answers

Answer:

It would be "W x 3 = 120"

Step-by-step explanation:

Why? Well, since a swift could run 120 miles an hour, that would be a necessity in the problem. It would be needed to find out how fast the wolf ran,  but, it cannot be the answer since we are trying to find out "how fast the wolf ran per hour". Right? No. Basically, you need to divide 120 by 3, which is 40. But which equals 40? None. Yes, none. No, to two answers. Why? Because you need to divide, so, the answer could be multiplication, but the opposite. You know if you know... Anyways, 120 x w = 3w is wrong due to the fact that it has no sign of division and the answer is way too large (I tried). 3 + w = 120 is definitely wrong. Why add? 3 + 40 is not 120. It's 43. Also, 120 + 3 is not 3, it's "123". So, the only answer left is "W x 3 = 120". But, how do we know that it's right? Well, think about it backwards. The swift is 3 times faster, so, the wolf times that 3 times faster is 120. And that is exactly what this problem is. By doing the problem backwards, we could find out that a wolf can run 40 miles per hour. Basically, 120 divided by 3, how much faster it is than a wolf, is 40. So, we could find out that a wolf could run 40 miles per hour.

Final Answer: W x 3 = 120

Answer:

The answer will be w×3=120

Part B
What is the measurement of angle G?

Part C
Let the variable c represent the measurement of angle C. Use the measurement of angle G to write an equation that you can use to solve for c.

Part D
What is the measurement of angle C?

Answers

Answer:

Part A) g + 30 + 90 = 180

Part B) G = 60 degrees

Part C) c + 60 = 180

Part D) C = 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: If angle F is 30 degrees and E is 90, then we can easily find G using the fact that the sum of a triangle is 180 degrees.

g + f + e = 180

g + 30 + 90 = 180

Part B: g + 30 + 90 = 180

g + 120 = 180

g = 60

Part C: Since G and C are on the same line and just separated by another line, we can use supplementary angles to find C.

c + g = 180

c + 60 = 180

Part D: c + 60 = 180

c = 120

Answer:

A:The sum of the angle measurements in a triangle is 180°. If e, f, and g are the measurements of angles E, F, and G, respectively, e + f + g = 180°.

Angle E is a right angle, so e is 90°. From the given information, f is 30°. Substitute the values of e and f in the equation to solve for g : 90° + 30° + g = 180°.

B:Solve the equation from Part A to find the measurement of angle G:

90° + 30° + g

180° – 90° – 30°

Angle G measures 60°.

C: Angle C and angle G are supplementary angles. The sum of supplementary angles is 180°. If c and g are the measurements of angles C and G, respectively, then c + g = 180°.

The value of g is 60°. Substitute 60° in the equation to get an equation in terms of c:

c + 60° = 180°.

D:Solve the equation from Part C to find the measurement of angle C:

c + 60°

=  180°

c

=  180° – 60°

c

=  120°.

Angle C measures 120°.
