The Following Scatter Plot Represents The Height Of A Basketball In Seconds During A Free Throw Shot.(a)

Answers

Answer 1

The function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic. Then the quadratic equation is y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2.

What is a quadratic equation?

It is a polynomial that is equal to zero. Polynomial of variable power 2, 1, and 0 terms are there. Any equation having one term in which the power of the variable is a maximum of 2 then it is called a quadratic equation.

The following scatter plot represents the height of a basketball in seconds during a free throw shot.

(a) A student chose to model the data with the function, y = 0.9286x + 9.0571 . Then the function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic.

(b) Write a function

We know that the quadratic equation is given as ax² + bx + c = y

This will pass through the points (1, 9.3), (2, 12.9), and (3, 14). Then we have

[tex]\rm a + b + c = 9.3 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...1\\\\4a + 2b + c = 12.9 \ \ \ ...2\\\\9a + 3b + c = 14 \ \ \ \ \ \ ...3[/tex]

On solving the equations 1, 2, and 3. Then we have

a = -1.25, b = 7.35, and c = 3.2

Then the quadratic equation will be

y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2

A small tank has a cylindrical shape. It has a radius of 15 inches and a height of 48 inches. A can of spray paint will cover 720 square inches. How many cans of paint must be bought to completely cover the tank with one coat of paint?

HELP FAST WILL GIVE LOTS OF POINTS

Answers

Answer:

c)  9

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\textsf{Surface area of a cylinder}=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh[/tex]

(where r is the radius and h is the height)

Given:

r = 15 inh = 48 in

Substitute given values into the equation to find the surface area:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Surface area} & =2\pi (15)^2+2\pi (15)(48)\\ & =1890 \pi\: \sf in^2\end{aligned}[/tex]

To calculate the number of cans of paint to be bought, divide the surface area by the area one can of paint will cover:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1890 \pi}{720}=8.246680716...[/tex]

We need to round this number up, as rounding down will mean we will not have quite enough paint to cover the surface area of the cylinder.

Therefore, the numnber of cans of paint that must be bought to completely cover the tank with one coat of paint is 9.

What is the value of y in the relative frequency table? round the answer to the nearest percent. 12% 27% 46% 52%

Answers

The relative frequency table is a two way table, and the value of y in the relative frequency table is 27%

How to determine the value of y?

From the complete question, we have the following row

y    24%   51%

Express the row as an equation

y + 24% = 51%

Subtract 24% from both sides

y + 24% - 24%= 51% - 24%

Evaluate the difference

y = 27%

Hence, the value of y in the relative frequency table is 27%

Tonja is a married taxpayer who claims 2 withholding allowances. She earns
$600 per week, and pays $150 per week in childcare expenses. How much will
she save in federal income and FICA taxes if she has her childcare expenses
deducted from her check before taxes?

Answers

The amount that Tonja will save in Federal Income and FICA Taxes if she has her childcare expenses deducted from her check before taxes is: $26.17

What is Federal Income Tax?

Federal Income Tax is a tax that is levied by the Federal Government and most states in the United States of America. It comprises of 7 tax rates.

What is FICA Tax?

FICA Tax is a Federal Insurance Contributions Act Tax. This tax is levied on every payroll of employees to fund Social Security and Medicare programs. This is divided into two parts:

Social Security Tax which is 6.2% and Medicare Tax which is 1.45%. The total is 7.65%

How to calculate Tonja's Tax before deduction

Federal Tax rate first level is 10% on 0$ - $19,900.

1) Hence, the first tax is 10% on $600, which is $60

2) The next tax is FICA. This is applied to the Gross Pay of $600.

Applying both taxed under FICA we have 7.65% * $600 = $45.9

Total Tax before a deduction is:

$60 + $45.9 = $105.6

The Tax Payable if childcare expenses is deducted first will be:

10% on $450     = $45

7.65% on $450 = $34.43

Total                   = $79.43

Hence the tax savings will be:

105.6 - 79.43 = $26.17

If the number of the edges of the polyhedron is 14 and the vertices are 9. Then the number of the faces of the polyhedron is 7.

What is a polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a solid made composed of polygons in three dimensions. It has vertices, flat faces, and straight edges.

We know the Euler's formula

F + V - E = 2,

where, F = number of faces, V = number of vertices, and E = number of edges

Edges: 14

Vertices: 9

F + 9 - 14 = 2

            F = 14 + 2 - 9

            F = 16 - 9

            F = 7

Then the number of the faces of the polyhedron is 7.

A softball has a volume of 125/6 pie cubic inches. Find the radius of the softball

Answers

The radius of the softball is 2.5 inches

The volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3 pi r^3

We know the volume is 125/6 pi

Substituting in

125/6 pi = 4/3 pi r^3

Divide by pi on each side

125/6 pi/ pi = 4/3 pi/ pi r^3

125/6 = 4/3  r^3

Multiply by 3/4 on each side to isolate r

125/6 * 3/4 = 3/4 *4/3  r^3

125/8 = r^3

Take the cube root on each side

(125/8) ^ 1/3 = (r^3) ^ 1/3

5/2 = r

2.5 =r

hope helpful ~

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Lets find out if the solution is true or not, So first let us find the value of x.

⇒ 8 = -x + 10

We can rewrite the equation as,

⇒ -x + 10 = 8

Subtracting 10 from both sides we get :

⇒ -x + 10 – 10 = 8 – 10

⇒ -x = -2

Multiplying both sides by (-1) :

⇒ -1(-x) = -1(-2)

x = 2

Therefore,

The statement "A solution to 8 = -x + 10 is 2" is true

7 * as much as the sum of1/3+ 4/5

Answers

Answer:

First you add 1/3 and 4/5

To add 2 fractions, they need to have the same denominator. Since 3 and 5 don't have a common factor, so you multiply 1/3 by 5, and 4/5 by 3, so you get: 5/15 +12/15

Now, the two fractions got the same denominator, and you can add them by adding the numerators over the same denominator. (You don't add denominators in addition) so you get:

5+12/15 which is 17/15

That's the sum of 1/3 + 4/5.

Now, they want the sum of the 2 fractions 7 times. So you multiply 17/15 by 7. And as you know, 7 = 7/1. So you get:

In multiplication no need to have the same denominator. You multiply nominators by nominators and denominators by denominators. So you get:

17*7/15*1  and you get 119/5

Since 119 and 15 don't have a common factor, so they can't be simplified.

So, the answer is 119/15.
