The Main Cable Of A Suspension Bridge Forms A Parabola Described By The Equation Y = A(x - 50)2 + 6.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Which quadratic equation models the main cable of the bridge correctly?

y = 0.048x2 – 2494

y = 0.048x2 – 6

y = 0.0048(x – 50)2 + 6 (This is correct)

y = 0.0048(x – 6)2 + 50

Answer 2

The value of a is 0.0048.

Given that,

The main cable of a suspension bridge forms a parabola described by the equation,

[tex]\rm y = a(x-50)^2+6[/tex]

We have to find,

The value of a.

According to the question,

The given relationship between the variables x and y is,

[tex]\rm y = a(x-50)^2+6[/tex]

In the given graph the points of the parabola are (30, 7.92), (50, 6), and (70, 7.92)

1. The value of an at the point (30, 7.92) is,

[tex]\rm y = a(x-50)^2+6\\\\7.92 = a (30-50)^2 +6\\\\7.92 = a(-20)^2 + 6\\\\7.92 = 400a +6\\\\7.92 -6 = 400a\\\\1.92 = 400a\\\\a = \dfrac{1.92}{400}\\\\a = 0.0048[/tex]

2. The value of an at the point (70, 7.92) is,

[tex]\rm y = a(x-50)^2+6\\\\7.92 = a (70-50)^2 +6\\\\7.92 = a(20)^2 + 6\\\\7.92 = 400a +6\\\\7.92 -6 = 400a\\\\1.92 = 400a\\\\a = \dfrac{1.92}{400}\\\\a = 0.0048[/tex]

3.  The value of an at the point (50, 6) is an infinite solution the value of a is not defined at the points.

Hence, The value of a is 0.0048.

Question 20 Linda purchased a prepaid phone card for $ 20 . Long distance calls cost 21 cents a minute using this card. Linda used her card only once to make a long distance call. If the remaining credit on her card is $ 10.76 , how many minutes did her call last?

Answers

Answer: 44 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Calls = 21 cents per minute

Remaining credit after long distance call= $10.76

Total credit used  =$20- $10.76

                             = $9.24

Minutes her call lasted = $ 9.24

                                         $0.21

in how many years will rupees 1200 at the rate of 15% interest amount to 1740 ​

Answers

Answer: 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = 1740 - 1200 = 540

SI = prt / 100

540 = 1200 x 0.15 x t

540 = 180t

t = 540 / 180 = 3

Find the interest amount.

[tex]I=1740-1200=540[/tex]

Use the formula for simple interest.

[tex]I=prt/100[/tex]

Solve for t.

[tex]540=1200 \times 15\% \times t[/tex]

[tex]540=1200 \times \frac{15}{100} \times t[/tex]

[tex]540=180t[/tex]

47.5         :76       We can put 76 on the km side because we are told that in                                    

                            in the question. Lets find out how many times 8 was

                            multiplied to equal 76. 76 divided by 8=9.5 Because 8 was

Answer:

Width of the rectangle is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle can is made up of two right angled triangle as shown.

Since area of a rectangle = [tex]base * height[/tex]

Area of one of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ * \ area\ of\ the\ rectangle[/tex]

The length and width of the triangle will be the same as that of the rectangle i.e  5units long and 2units wide

Area of one of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} * 5 * 2[/tex]

Area of one of the triangle = 5units²

A dealer bought 18 toy chairs at Rs.65 per chair he sold 12 of them at Rs.75 each and the remaining chairs at rs
60 each find his profit or loss percentage

Answers

Answer:

The dealer's profit percentage is 7.692%

Step-by-step explanation:

18 × 65 = 1170

He spent Rs.1170

12 × 75 = 900

60 × (18-12) = 360

900 + 360 = 1260

He got a profit of Rs.90.

1170 × (1 + x/100) = 1260

1 + x/100 = 14/13

x/100 = 1/13

x= 7.692307692

Answer:

7.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

spent= Rs. 65*18= Rs. 1170

earned= 12*Rs. 75+6*Rs. 60= Rs. 1260

profit= Rs. 1260- Rs. 1170= Rs. 90

profit %= 90/1170*100%= 7.7%

A.) 0

B.) 4

C) 2

D.) 26.7

Answers

Answer: B) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula

Standard deviation = √( (Σ ( x - π)²)/n)

To get the standard deviation, first we workout the Mean which is the simple average of the data set

n = 4

(13 + 17 + 9 + 21) / 4 = 60/4 = 15

Mean(x) = 15

Then (x-π)²

13 - 15 = (-2)² = 4

17 - 15 = (2)² = 4

9 - 15 = (-6)² = 36

21 - 15 = (6)² = 36

Σ ( x - π)² = (4 + 4 + 36 + 36) = 80

Standard deviation = √( (Σ ( x - π)²)/n

= √ (80/4)

=√20

= 4.47

= 4

Answers

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

LB of d = 186.5

UB of d = 187.5

LB of p = 27.5

UB of p = 28.5

186.5/28.5 = 6.54

187.5/27.5 = 8.81

The answer is 7 since both bounds round up to 7.

The value of c for the David journey is 7.

Calculation of the value of c:

Since David drove a distance (d) of 187 km

So here the 3 significant figures should be

LB of d = 186.5

UB of d = 187.5

And,

LB of p = 27.5

UB of p = 28.5

Now the average should be

[tex]186.5\div 28.5[/tex] = 6.54

And,

[tex]187.5\div 27.5[/tex] = 8.81

So, The value of c for the David journey is 7.

The area of a sector of a circle with a radius measuring 15 cm is 235.62 cm^2 . What is the measure of the central angle, to the nearest degree that forms the sector?

Answers

Answer:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a sector of a circle is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{\alpha }{360} * \pi r^2[/tex]

where α = central angle of sector in degrees

r = radius of circle.

The radius of the circle is 15 cm and the area of the sector is 235.62 cm^2. Therefore:

[tex]235.62 = \frac{\alpha }{360} * \pi * 15^2\\\\84823.2 = 706.86 * \alpha \\\\=> \alpha = 84823.2 / 706.86\\\\\alpha = 120^o[/tex]

The heights of 82 roller coasters have a mean of 285.2 feet and a population standard deviation of 59.3 feet. Find the standardized tests statistics and the corresponding p-value when the claim is that roller coasters are more than 290 feet tall.

Answers

Answer:

0.7673

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

The null and alternative hypothesis is,

H0: m = 290

Ha: m> 290

x = 285.2

m = 290

sd = 59.3

n = 82

is m the mean, sd the standard deviation and n the population size

Now we calculate the value of z like this:

z = (x - m) / sd / (n ^ (1/2))

z = (285.2 - 290) / 59.3 / (82 ^ (1/2))

z = -0.73

now

P (z> -0.73) = 1 - P (z <-0.73)

we look at the normal distribution table

P = 1 - 0.2327 = 0.7673

Therefore the value of p is equal to 0.7673

M is less than angleAOC = 108 degrees m is less than angle AOB = 3x + 4 degrees m is less than angle BOC = 8x - 28 degrees Find m is less than angle AOB

Answers

Answer: angleAOB = 40°

Step-by-step explanation: Drawing these angles, we see that angle AOC is the sum of angle AOB and angle BOC, so:

angleAOC = angleAOB + angleBOC

108 = 3x + 4 + 8x - 28

108 + 24 = 11x

11x = 132

x = 12

Knowing x, to find angleAOB, just substitute and calculate:

angleAOB = 3x+4

angleAOB = 3.12 + 4

angleAOB = 40°

The angle AOB is 40°.

Answers

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you notice that both the angles add up to 180 degrees because it is a straight line.  Therefore, 2x+x+90=180.  Now you have an equation to solve!  Subtract 90 from both sides and combine like terms.  3x=90.  Therefore, x=30.  Now you plug x back in to find out m<DBC.  DBC=x+90 which is 30+90= 120.  

(2x)+ (x+90) = 180

3x + 90 = 180

180-90 = 90

3x = 90

x = 30

angle DBC = (30)+90

angle DBC = 120 degrees
