He will reach the ground after 2.023 seconds.

To start, write a quadratic equation in vertex form with the given information about the vertex.

$y=a(x-2.6)^2+9.2$

All that we need to solve for is a. Plug in the point (0, 9) and you will be able to solve for a and write the complete equation.

Now, just use the quadratic formula and you will get 2.023 seconds for when he hits the ground.

The single game ticket only costs 8g per ticket. The Season tickets costs 1.19 (I had added them). The 8 is lesser than 1.19. So the Season tickets costs more than the Single Game tickets (I hope this helped!).

The total cost of renting a car is $35.00 for each day the car is rented plus 37.5 cents for each mile the car is driven. what i

charle [14.2K]

X = days rented and y = miles driven
4 days rented and 300 miles driven

35x + .375y = total cost

35(4) + .375(300)
140 + 112.5

Total cost = $252.50

Find the area between y=4sinx and y=10cosx over the interval [0,π]. Sketch the curves if necessary.

FromTheMoon [43]

$\sin x\ge0$ for all $x\in[0,\pi]$ , while $\cos x>0$ for $0$ and $\cos x$ for $\dfrac\pi2$ . So you already know that $4\sin x>10\cos x$ over the second half of the interval.

In the first half, $4\sin x$ is an increasing function, from $4\sin0=0$ to $4\sin\dfrac\pi2=4$ . Meanwhile $10\cos x$ is a decreasing function, from $10\cos0=10$ to $10\cos\dfrac\pi2=0$ . Therefore there must be a point between 0 and $\dfrac\pi2$ where the two curves intersect. So we find it:

$4\sin x=10\cos x\implies \tan x=\dfrac{10}4=\dfrac52\implies x=\arctan\dfrac52\approx1.1903$

So we know that $10\cos x>4\sin x$ in $\left[0,\arctan\dfrac52\right)$ , and $4\sin x>10\cos x$ in $\left(\arctan\dfrac52,\pi\right]$ .

The area between the curves is then

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\arctan(5/2)}(10\cos x-4\sin x)\,\mathrm dx+\int_{\arctan(5/2)}^\pi(4\sin x-10\cos x)\,\mathrm dx=4\sqrt{29}$
