The height of the ball will be negative when it reaches point B again after traveling from A to B, assuming it follows the same path.

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height and return to the ground will be approximately 2 seconds.

When the ball has coordinates (88, 0), it has reached the ground at point B, and its horizontal distance traveled is 88 feet.

At t = 0, the ball is at point A, which is 6 feet above the ground. This is because it was thrown from that height, and the time elapsed is not enough for gravity to affect its height yet.

Answer:

The horizontal translation of the function is 3 units to the right (from the parent function).  Therefore, we subtract 3 from the x-value of the function.

The equation of the graphed function in vertex form is:

[tex]\boxed{y = (x - 3)^2- 2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph shows a parabola that opens upwards.

Therefore, the equation for this function is a quadratic equation with a positive leading coefficient.

The vertex of a parabola is the minimum point of a parabola that opens upwards, or the maximum point of a parabola that opens downwards.

From inspection of the given graph, the vertex of the function is (3, -2).

The parent function of a parabola that opens upwards is y = x². This has a vertex at (0, 0).

Therefore, given the vertex of the given function is (3, -2), the parent function has been translated 3 units right and 2 units down.

For a horizontal translation to the right, we subtract the number of units from the x-value of the function.

For a vertical translation down, we subtract the number of units from the function.

Therefore, a translation of 3 units right and 2 units down from the parent function y = x² is:

[tex]\boxed{y = (x - 3)^2- 2}[/tex]

This function is written in vertex form.

To write the equation in standard form, expand the brackets and simplify:

[tex]\implies y=(x-3)(x-3)-2[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=x^2-3x-3x+9-2[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=x^2-6x+7[/tex]

[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

Additional comments

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is y = a(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex. Therefore, the "k" value refers to the y-value, which is the vertical translation from the parent function.

As your question refers to the "k" value for the horizontal translation, we assume that it is not referring to the k-value of the vertex form.

Answer:

1. [tex]y = (x + 2)(x + 3)[/tex]

2. [tex]y = -x(x + 4)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the factored form of the graphed quadratic functions by:

1) Expressing each one in vertex form

2) Expanding and refactoring to rewrite in factored form

1. We know that vertex form is:

[tex]y = a(x-h)^2 + k[/tex],

where [tex]a[/tex] determines the parabola's direction and width ([tex]a=1[/tex] being the same as a standard parabola), and [tex](h,k)[/tex] is the parabola's vertex.

The vertex of this parabola is (-3, -4).

↓ plugging these values into the vertex form equation

[tex]y = 1(x - (-3))^2 + (-4)[/tex]

↓ simplifying

[tex]y = (x + 3)^2 - 4[/tex]

Now, we can expand and refactor this equation into factored form.

↓ expanding the squared term

[tex]y = (x^2 + 6x + 9) - 4[/tex]

↓ simplifying

[tex]y = x^2 + 6x + 5[/tex]

↓ factoring

[tex]\boxed{y = (x + 2)(x + 3)}[/tex]

2. We can see that the vertex is at (-2, 4).

↓ plugging into the vertex form equation

[tex]y = -1(x - (-2))^2 + 4[/tex]

Note that the parabola opens downward, so [tex]a = -1[/tex].

↓ simplifying

[tex]y = -1(x +2)^2 + 4[/tex]

↓ expanding the squared term

[tex]y = -1(x^2 +4x + 4) + 4[/tex]

↓ incorporating the outer +4 into the distribution of -1

[tex]y = -1(x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4)[/tex]

↓ simplifying

[tex]y = -1(x^2 + 4x)[/tex]

↓ factoring

[tex]y = -1(x)(x + 4)[/tex]

↓ simplifying

[tex]\boxed{y = -x(x + 4)}[/tex]

Answer: 117

The required proportion of cupcakes that have no creme filling with 98% confidence interval is equal to (0.012, 0.058).

Total number of cupcakes = 346

Number of defective cup cakes = 12

Confidence interval = 98%

To construct a confidence interval for the proportion of all cupcakes that have no creme filling,

Use the following formula,

CI = p ± z√((p(1-p))/n)

where,

p = proportion of defective cupcakes

n = sample size

z = z-value for the desired confidence level (98% in this case)

Plug in the values we have,

p = 12/346

  = 0.0347

n = 346

z = 2.33 (from a standard normal distribution table for a 98% confidence level)

CI = 0.0347 ± 2.33√((0.0347(1-0.0347))/346)

   = 0.0347 ± 0.023

So the 98% confidence interval for the proportion of all cupcakes that have no creme filling is (0.012, 0.058).

Therefore, 98% confidence interval that have true proportion of all cupcakes with no creme filling is between 0.012 and 0.058.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you don't know, the Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2 in a right triangle where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Imagine unfolding a cone. It would become part of a circle. Therefore, to find the lateral surface area(the surface are not including bases), you have to find the surface area of this part of the circle. The circumference of the entire circle is 6*pi*sqrt10. The circumference of this partial circle is the circumference of the base of the cone which is 2*3*pi=6pi. therefore, the percent of the circle is 6*pi/6*pi*sqrt10=1/sqrt10. 1/sqrt10*90pi=90*sqrt10*pi/10=9*sqrt10*pi.

the area of the base is 3^2*pi=9pi. the answer is then 9pi(1+sqrt10)

Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

mx: slope

b: y-intercept

This line has a negative slope (mx) because of its direction. The plotted points are three units down and one unit right apart, which makes it -3/1x or -3x.

The y-intercept (b) is 1 because at the coordinate (0, 1) the line passes through the y-axis.

Therefore, the line should be y = -3x + 1.

The temperature at 7:00 a.m. was 67 degrees.

1. Identify the given information: At 1:00 p.m., the temperature was 87 degrees, and it was 20 degrees cooler six hours earlier.
2. We need to find the temperature at 7:00 a.m., which is six hours before 1:00 p.m.
3. Since the temperature was 20 degrees cooler at 7:00 a.m.

we will subtract 20 from the temperature at 1:00 p.m.
4. Perform the subtraction:

87 degrees (1:00 p.m. temperature) - 20 degrees (cooler difference) = 67 degrees.
5. The result, 67 degrees, is the temperature at 7:00 a.m.

The null hypothesis for a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is that there is no significant difference between the means of the groups, while the alternative hypothesis is that at least one group mean is significantly different from the others.

The null hypothesis (H0) for a one-way analysis of variance is that there is no significant difference in the mean of the dependent variable (number of words per minute) among the groups, and any observed differences are due to chance.

The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that there is a significant difference in the mean of the dependent variable among the groups, and this difference is not due to chance. In other words, at least one of the groups has a different mean from the others.

Symbolically, the hypotheses can be expressed as:

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 (where μ1, μ2, and μ3 are the population means for groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively)

In the function,

1) Initial height of the bouncing ball is 15feet.

2) The percent rate of change is -16.25%

3) The height of the bouncing ball after 5 seconds is 6.65 feet.

A mathematical phrase, rule, or law that establishes the link between an independent variable and a dependent variable (the dependent variable). In mathematics, functions exist everywhere, and they are crucial for constructing physical links in the sciences.

There seems to be a typo in the function you provided. I will assume that the function is:

=> f(x) = [tex]15(0.85)^x[/tex]

Assuming this is correct, here are the answers to your questions:

The initial height of the bouncing ball is the value of the function when

x = 0, which is:

=> [tex]f(0)=15(0.85)^0=15ft[/tex]

Therefore, the initial height of the bouncing ball is 15 feet.

The percent rate of change of the function can be found by taking the derivative of the function and expressing it as a percentage.

The derivative of the function is:

=> f'(x)= [tex]\frac{15ln(17)\times17^x-15ln(20)\times17^x}{20^x}[/tex]

The percent rate of change is then:

=> [tex]\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} \times100\%[/tex]

=> [tex]\frac{\frac{15ln(17)\times17^x-15ln(20)\times17^x}{20^x}}{15(0.85)^x}[/tex]

=> [tex]ln(\frac{17}{20})[/tex]

=> -16.25%

Therefore, the percent rate of change of the function is approximately:

=> -16.25%

The height of the bouncing ball after 5 seconds is: then x=5

=> [tex]f(5)=15(0.85)^5[/tex]

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth, we get:

=> 6.65 feet

Therefore, the height of the bouncing ball after 5 seconds is approximately 6.65 ft.

E = 3√5 + 7π/5 - 2√5 + 6π (distribute the -2)

E = (3√5 - 2√5) + (7π/5 + 6π) (combine like terms)

E = √5 + 37π/5

Therefore, the exact value of E is √5 + 37π/5.

The solution to the equation is a = 6 and a = 4.

There is no extraneous solution.

To find the solution for the given equation, follow these steps:
1. Rewrite the equation: [tex]15 + a^2 - 1 = 5(2a - 2)[/tex].

i. probability is usually between 0 and 1, inclusive.

ii. an event that is likely has a probability that is close to 1.

(option i and ii).

Probability is an important concept in mathematics and statistics that allows us to quantify the likelihood or chance of an event occurring. It is often represented as a number between 0 and 1, inclusive. A probability of 0 means that the event is impossible, while a probability of 1 means that the event is certain to occur.

Now, let's examine each of the statements to determine which ones are true.

The first statement, "probability is usually between 0 and 1, inclusive," is true. As mentioned earlier, probability is always represented as a number between 0 and 1, inclusive.

The second statement, "an event that is likely has a probability that is close to 1," is also true. If an event is likely to occur, it means that there is a high probability of it happening. Therefore, the probability assigned to that event would be close to 1.
