Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-directi

on. The first boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (1, 10), whereas the second boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (0, –7). Which system of equations can be used to determine whether the paths of the boats cross?

Answer:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

y=ax^2 +bx+c

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a

Equation:

y=ax^2 -2ax+c

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1

Solve:

c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}

Parabola equation:

y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

y=ax^2 +bx+c

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0

Equation:

y=ax^2+c

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1

Solve:

a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7

Parabola equation:

y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7

System of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

0.5r

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jerry took half the time Macy did then that means Macy took twice as long as Jerry. If Jerry’s speed was r then Macy’s speed is 0.5r or half the speed of Jerry. This will mean Macy goes half as slow and takes twice as long to get there.

Which quadratic equation is equivalent to (x – 4)2 – (x – 4) – 6 = 0?
Viktor [21]

I hope choices must be given in the problem.

I am showing the method to find the equivalent equation of the above equation. You can match with your given choices.

First step is to expand the first term. So,

(x-4)² = (x - 4)(x - 4) Since a²= a*a

= x² - 4x - 4x + 4 * 4 By multiplying.

= x² -8x + 16 Combine the like terms.

So, (x - 4)² - (x -4) - 6

= x² - 8x + 16 - x + 4 - 6

= x² - 9x + 14 Combine the like terms.

So, equivalent equation of the above equation is x² - 9x + 14 = 0.

Which of the following best explains how this relationship and the value of sin theta can be used to find the other trigonometri
Lena [83]

Answer:

OPtion I is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Once we know sin of an angle, and it lies in II quadrant, we know that

cos, sec, tan and cot would be negative but csc will be positive.

So use the fact that

sin^{2}t+cos^{2} t=1\\cost =-\sqrt{1-sin^2 t}

Thus cos is obtained using negative square root.

Now tan = sin/cos, and sec = 1/cos:

cot =1/tan and csc =1/sin

Thus all value can be obtained easily

So option I
