A frog leaps 2 feet. The highest point in the jump is 6 inches. Assume the frog starts at (0, 0). Write a quadratic function in vertex form for the path of the jump. Specify the units you use.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x)=-\frac{1}{24}\left(x-12\right)^2+6[/tex]

Where f(x) models the height, in inches, of the frog's leap after it had leapt x inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a frog leaps two feet, with the highest point in the jump being six inches.

Assuming the frog starts at (0,0), we want to find a quadratic function in vertex form for the path of the jump.

First, we will convert the length of the jump to inches. Two feet is equivalent to 24 inches.

Next, since the frog started at (0, 0), in order to jump a length of 24 inches, it must have ended at (0, 24). These two points will also be our two roots: x = 0 and x = 24. We can use the factored form of a quadratic:

[tex]f(x)=a(x-p)(x-q)[/tex]

Where p and q are the roots.

Substitute in the roots:

[tex]f(x)=a(x-0)(x-24)=ax(x-24)[/tex]

Now, since the frog reached a maximum height of six inches, the y-coordinate of the function at its vertex point is 6.

Since a parabola is symmetrical along its axis of symmetry, the axis of symmetry is always halfway between the two roots.

Therefore, the x-coordinate of our vertex is:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{24-0}{2}=12[/tex]

So, when x = 12, f(x) = 6. Substitute:

[tex]6=a(12)(12-24)[/tex]

Solve for a:

[tex]\displaystyle- 144a=6\Rightarrow a=-\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Therefore, our function is:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x)=-\frac{1}{24}x(x-24)[/tex]

Now, we can place this into vertex form:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Where a is the leading coefficient and (h, k) is the vertex.

Our leading coefficient is -1/24, and the vertex is (12, 6). Hence, our function is:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x)=-\frac{1}{24}\left(x-12\right)^2+6[/tex]

Where f(x) models the height, in inches, of the frog's leap after it had leapt x inches.

A juice factory offers its juice in both bottles and cans. A class of students on a field trip decides to compare the numbers of cases of bottled juice and canned juice that are packaged each minute. The students count the number of cases that are packaged on each assembly line over several minutes.

What is the unit rate for canned juice, in cases per minute? Explain how you found this unit rate.

Answers

Answer: 50 cases per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Select one of the points on the graph. Let's use (2, 100) in this case.

2. Divide the number of cases (y) by the amount of minutes (x) This means the equation would be 100 ÷ 2.

3. Since 100 cases ÷ 2 minutes = 50 cases per minute, that means that is unit rate, which can be expressed by y = 50x or f(x) = 50x.

50 cases per minute. Hope this helps

The probability of spinning an odd number, not flipping heads, then not spinning a 6 is
__

Answers

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability of spinning an odd number, not flipping heads, then not spinning a 6 is:

[tex]p = \frac{20}{81} = 24.69\%[/tex]

What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

There are 5 odd numbers in the spinner, out of 9, hence the probability of spinner an odd number is 5/9.The coin is fair, hence the probability of flipping tails = not heads is of 1/2.Out of the 9 numbers in the spinner, only one is six, hence the probability of not spinning a 6 is of 8/9.

Then, the probability of the compound event is:

[tex]p = \frac{5}{9} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{9} = \frac{20}{81} = 24.69\%[/tex]

Fares has a container filled with 540 grams of tea leaves. Each morning, he uses 6 grams to make a cup of tea.

Write an expression to represent the grams of tea leaves remaining after x days.

How many grams of tea leaves will remain after 17 days? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of tea leaves used  for one morning = 6 grams

Quantity of tea leaves used for 'x' days = 6 *x = 6x grams

Quantity of tea leaves left after x days = 540 - 6x

Expression: 540 - 6x

Quantity of tea leaves remaining after 17 days = 540 - 6*17

                                                                             = 540 - 102

                                                                             = 438 grams

f the equation is in the form, ax + b = c, where x is the variable, you can solve the equation as before. First “undo” the addition and subtraction, and then “undo” the multiplication and division. Solve 3y + 2 = 11. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get the term with the variable by itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. To isolate the variable, we must reverse the operations acting on the variable. We do this by performing the inverse of each operation on both sides of the equation.

Answers

Answer:

244140625 or 5^12

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to multiplication, you add exponents IF the base (the 5 at the bottom is called base) is the same answer. for example: 1^16 x 1^9, since the exponents are the same you just add the exponents (16 & 9) which is 25 or 1^25

Dividing is the same as multiplying except your subtracting with the examples, adding and subtracting is simplifying and solving, for example

14^2 + 13^3

          14 * 14 = 196

                   13*13*13 =2,197

          196+2,197 = 2,393

Same thing for subtraction

13^3 - 14^2

2,197 - 196 = 2,001
