Amaya is standing 30 ft from a volleyball net. The net is 8 ft high. Amaya serves the ball. The path of the ball is modeled by t

he equation y=-0.02(x-18)^2+12​, where x is the​ ball's horizontal distance in feet from​ Amaya's position and y is the distance in feet from the ground to the ball. a. How far away is the ball from Amaya when it is at its maximum​ height? Explain. b. Describe how you would find the​ ball's height when it crosses the net at x=30. a. How far away is the ball from Amaya when it is at its maximum​ height? Explain. The ball is nothing ft away from Amaya when it is at its maximum height. Use the y-coordinate x-coordinate of the vertex.

Answer:

KINDLY CHECK EXPLANATION

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation : y=-0.02(x-18)^2+12 to model the horizontal distance of a ball from Amaya's position.

a. How far away is the ball from Amaya when it is at its maximum​ height?

The model takes the form of a parabolic equation. Maximum height is obtain at the Vertex :

Comparing the general model :

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

Maximum height is obtained at the Vertex :(h, k)

From the model given

Coordinate at the Vertex : (h, k) = (18, 12)

Hence, ball is 18 feets away from AMAYA

B.) Height of ball at x = 30

y=-0.02(x-18)^2+12

y=-0.02(30-18)^2+12

y=-0.02(12)^2+12

y = 9.12 feets.

Two entertainment venues are planning to expand the size of their audiences and each has decided on the rate at which it can inc
NNADVOKAT [17]
Let us see... ideally we would like to have all equations with the same exponent or the same base so that we can compare the rates. Since the unknown is in the exponent, we have to work with them. In general, x^(y/z)= \sqrt[z]{x^y}.
Applying this to the exponential parts of the functions, we have that the first equation is equal to:
250*(\sqrt[5]{1.45} ^t)=250*(1.077)^t
The second equation is equal to: 200* (1.064)^t in a similar way.
We have that the base of the first equation is higher, thus the rate of growth is faster in the first case; Choice B is correct.

Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute. After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs. This situati
stira [4]

Answer:

(3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute. After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs.

This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in slope-intercept form,  as

y=2x

where 'x' represents the number of minutes and,

y represents the number of paragraphs.  

Since y intercept is 0 i.e. 0 paras in 0 minutes we have the equation as

y=2x

Since no of minutes or paragraphs cannot take negative values this line is defined only in the I quadrant where both x and y are positive

Out of the points given as follows:

(3,6) (2,3) (-3,6) or (-2,6) ,

we can remove last two since they have negative x which is impossible.

Consider  (3,6) (2,3)

Out of these only I point  (3,6) satisfies  y=2x and second point   (2,3) does not satisfy

y=2x

Hence answer is (3,6)

Twelve people each have a standard deck of cards. Each person shuffles the deck and draws two cards (without replacement). Anyon
Arada [10]

Answer:

The number of people, of the twelve, who will win a prize is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards there are 52 cards.

The 52 cards are divided into 4 suits: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades and Clubs, each of 13 cards.

Each of the 12 people draws 2 cards from their standard deck of cards.

Compute the probability of selecting at least 1 diamond as follows:

P (At least 1 diamond) = 1 - P (No diamond)

                                    =1-\frac{{39\choose 2}}{{52\choose 2}} \\=1-\frac{741}{1326}\\ =1-0.5588\\=0.4412

The probability of selecting at least 1 diamond is 0.4412.

If a person draws at least 1 diamond he wins a prize.

The expected number of people who will win the prize is:

E (Wins a prize) = n × P (At least 1 diamond)

                          =12\times0.4412\\=5.2944\\\approx5

Thus, the number of people of the twelve who will win a prize is 5.
