A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches a maximum height of 1.5 feet, 30 feet a

way from the player. The height y (in feet) of a second hockey puck is modeled by y=x(0.08−0.002x), where x is the horizontal distance (in feet). Compare the distances traveled by the hockey pucks before hitting the ground.

Answer:

x₁ > x₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Both actions imply a parable trajectories, since both are projectile shot cases.

Let´s call x₁ maximum distance in the first case

The maximum height is just in the middle of the curve, therefore x₁ the maximum horizontal distance is equal to 60 feet.

In the second case, the parable curve is modeled by:

y = x₂*( 0.08 - 0.002x₂)    or  y = 0.08*x₂ - 0.002*x₂²

A second degree equation, solving for x₂ and dismissing the value x₂ = 0

we get:

y = 0       ⇒    x₂*( 0.08 - 0.002x₂) = 0    x₂ = 0

And 0,08 - 0.002*x₂ = 0

- 0.002*x₂ = - 0.08

x₂ = 0.08/0.002

x₂ = 40 f

Then  x₁ > x₂

Which statements describe a residual plot for a line of best fit that is a good model for a scatterplot? Check all that apply. T
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The points are randomly scattered with no clear pattern

The number of points is equal to those in the scatterplot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The points in the residual plot of the line of best fit that is a good model for a scatterplot are randomly scattered with no clear pattern (like a line or a curve).

The number of points in the residual plot is always equal to those in the scatterplot.

It doesn't matter if there are about the same number of points above the x-axis as below it, in the residual plot.

The y-coordinates of the points are not the same as the points in the scatterplot.

All of the following are equivalent except _____. A:5 over 4. B:1.25. C:12.5%. D:125%.
earnstyle [38]
Hello, there!

5/4 = 1.25

So, we know that the answer is not A or B.


1.25 = 125% 

Now, we know that the answer is not D ether.

So, the answer must be C.


I hope I helped!

The tires of a tractor are 4.5 feet tall. How many 360-degree rotations do the tires make when the tractor travels 170 feet? Rou
slavikrds [6]
Hello! 

Ok so we have a tire 4.5ft in diameter. We want to know how many revolutions it makes in 170ft

So we have s=r*theta where s is arc length or distance traveled and r is the radius and theta is the angle in radians that it travels through, and this is what we want to know. We are given the rest so we have;

170ft=4.5ft/2 * theta so solving for theta we get 

theta=340ft/4.5ft = 75.56 radians so now we just convert radians to revolutions and we know pi=3.14rad and 2pi is one rev and to convert to degrees its radians*( 360/2pi)=deg and this reduces to 180/pi so we have;


75.56radians * 180/pi = 4329 degrees travelled through so to get revolutions we now just divide this by 360deg for total revs. So we have;

4329deg/360deg=12 revolutions

Hope this helps! Any questions please ask! Thank you so much!
