What is the maximum height of the firework? How long is the firework in the air before it explodes?
See attached picture
The maximum height of the firework is; 387.78 ft
The time for which the firework is in the air before it explodes is; 1 second
How to solve projectile equations?
We are given the function;
h = -(500/9)t² + (1000/3)t + 10
where;
h is height after time of t seconds
At height of zero, the firework would either be about to launch or when it has come down.
Thus, let us set h = 0 to find the times.
0 = -(500/9)t² + (1000/3)t + 10
Using quadratic equation calculator, we have;
t ≈ 2 seconds
Now the firework explodes at the highest point which will be the mid point of where the launching started and the endpoint where it stopped.
This means time at midpoint = (0 + 2)/2 = 1 sec
It explodes after 1 second.
Thus maximum height at this time is;
h = -(500/9)(1)² + (1000/3)(1) + 10
h = 387.78 ft

An experiment consists of drawing one card from a bridge deck. The sample space contains 52 outcomes, one for each of the 52 cards. Suppose we assign a probability of 1/52 to each of the cards. Find the probability that the following happens.
(a) A king is drawn
(b) The card drawn is a king or a queen.
(c) The card drawn is a diamond.
(d) The card drawn is a black card.
The probability of drawing a king, a king or queen, a diamond, or a black card from a deck of 52 cards is 1/52, 4/52, 13/52, and 26/52, respectively.
(a) The probability that a king is drawn is 1/52, since there is only one king in the deck and 52 total cards. This means that if we draw one card from the deck, the probability that it will be a king is 1/52.
(b) The probability that a king or a queen is drawn is 4/52, since there are four kings and queens in the deck and 52 total cards. This means that if we draw one card from the deck, the probability that it will be a king or queen is 4/52.
(c) The probability that a diamond is drawn is 13/52, since there are 13 diamonds in the deck and 52 total cards. This means that if we draw one card from the deck, the probability that it will be a diamond is 13/52.
(d) The probability that a black card is drawn is 26/52, since there are 26 black cards in the deck and 52 total cards. This means that if we draw one card from the deck, the probability that it will be a black card is 26/52.

Interpret its meaning in the context of the problem.
The monthly payment must be (more or less) than $________, and the close to this value is, the (quicker you will be able or longer it will take) to pay off the mortgage.
Answer:
(a) $897.72: 26 yr
$1526.49: 10 yr
(b) See below.
(c) x = 705
more, $705, longer it will take
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
[tex]t=16.708 \ln \left(\dfrac{x}{x-705}\right)[/tex]
where:
t = term of the mortgage (in years)x = monthly payment plan (in dollars)Part (a)[tex]\begin{aligned}x=897.72 \implies t& =16.708 \ln \left(\dfrac{897.72}{897.72-705}\right)\\& =16.708 \ln \left(4.65815691...\right)\\&=16.708(1.53861985...)\\&=25.70726...\\&=26\; \rm years\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}x=1526.49 \implies t& =16.708 \ln \left(\dfrac{1526.49}{1526.49-705}\right)\\& =16.708 \ln \left(1.85819669...\right)\\& =16.708(0.619606496...)\\&=10.352385...\\&=10 \; \rm years\end{aligned}[/tex]
Part (b)To approximate the total amounts paid (in dollars) over the term of the mortgage, multiply the monthly payment by the term.
Please note I have provided two calculations per monthly payment:
(1) by using the exact term, and (2) using the rounded term from part (a).
[tex]\implies \$897.72 \times 25.7072605... \times 12 =\$276935.06[/tex]
[tex]\implies \$897.72 \times 26 \times 12=\$280088.64[/tex]
[tex]\implies \$1526.49 \times 10.3523853... \times 12=\$189633.75[/tex]
[tex]\implies \$1526.49 \times 10 \times 12 =\$183178.80[/tex]
To calculate the amount of interest costs (in dollars) in each case, subtract $150,000 from the total amounts paid:
[tex]\$897.72\implies 276935.06-150000=\$126935.06[/tex]
[tex]\$897.72 \implies 280088.64-150000=\$130088.64[/tex]
[tex]\$1526.49 \implies 189633.75-150000=\$39633.75[/tex]
[tex]\$1526.49\implies 183178.80-150000=\$33178.80[/tex]
Part (c)The natural logarithm of a negative number cannot be taken.
Therefore, x > 705.
So the vertical asymptote for the model is:
x = 705The monthly payment must be more than $705, and the closer to this value the payment is, the longer it will take to pay off the mortgage.

Using the definitional formula, compute Ss, variance and the standard deviation for the following population of scores. Scores: 1, 8, 0, 4,2 SS 40 variance 10 standard deviation 3.16
Ss, variance and the standard deviation for the population of scores is 2.83 and 8 respectively
What is standard deviation and variance?
Standard deviation is a measure of the distribution of statistical data, whereas variance is a measure of how data points differ from the mean. The fundamental distinction between the two is that although the variance is expressed in squared units, the standard deviation is expressed in the same units as the data's mean.
Given,
SS = 40
Variance = 10
Standard Deviation = 3.16
Using Population Variance Formula :
= [tex]\frac{1}{n}[/tex]∑( x-xbar)² where i is 1
For the complete solution see the attachment of table
sum ( x - x bar)² = 40
so, variance = 40/5

The Equation of line is y= 16.1x + 210. 8.
The approximate price by 2025 is 452.3.
What is Slope?A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,
m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope
Given:
The points are (1, 226.9) and (4, 275.2).
So, Slope for line
m = ( 275.2- 226.9)/( 4-1)
m = 48.3/ 3
m= 16.1
Now, using the slope- intercept form
y= mx+ b
y = 16.1x + b
Now, x= 1 and y= 226.9
By, y = 16.1 + x
226.9 = 16.1(1)+ b
b= 210.8
So, the equation of line is y= 16.1x + 210. 8
Now, x is the number of years since 2010 and by 2025
x= 2025 - 2010 = 15
Then, the approximate price by 2025
y= 16.1(15) + 210.8

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination.
3x +9y=33
-10x-6y=-14
a. (-4,5)
b. (4,-1)
c. (-10, 3)
d. (-1,4)
To solve the given system of equations using elimination, we can add the two equations together to eliminate one of the variables. Doing this, we get 3x + 9y + (-10x - 6y) = 33 + (-14), which simplifies to -7x + 3y = 19. We can then solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3, giving us y = 19/3 = 6.33. We can substitute this value for y in either of the original equations to solve for x. For example, if we substitute 6.33 for y in the first equation, we get 3x + 9 * 6.33 = 33, which simplifies to 3x = 3.67. Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get x = 1.22. Therefore, the solution of the system is (1.22, 6.33), which is approximately (1, 6). The answer choice that is closest to this solution is (d) (-1, 4). Thus, the solution of the system is (-1, 4).
The sum of heart rate readings taken five times for of Kundaval and Kulazhi are 400 and 360 respectively. And their projected deviations are 3,16 and 2.0 respectively. If you were. a doctor, who would you treat immediately?
Answer:
Overall, as a doctor, I would prioritize treating Kundaval immediately due to their higher heart rate and larger projected deviation.
Step-by-step explanation:
As a doctor, I would prioritize treating the patient with the higher heart rate and larger projected deviation. In this case, that would be Kundaval, whose sum of heart rate readings is 400 and whose projected deviation is 3.16.
Heart rate is an important vital sign that reflects the health and function of the cardiovascular system. It is measured in beats per minute (bpm) and can vary based on factors such as age, activity level, and overall health. A high heart rate, especially in combination with a large projected deviation, can be a sign of a potential health problem or underlying condition that requires immediate medical attention.
In contrast, Kulazhi has a lower heart rate and smaller projected deviation, which may indicate that their cardiovascular system is functioning normally. However, it is still important to monitor and track their heart rate over time to ensure that it remains within a healthy range.
If I were a doctor, the immediate patient I would treat is; Kundaval because he has a higher projected deviation and a faster heart rate.
What is the standard deviation?Instead of computation or experimentation, the standard deviation is an abstract concept based on observation.
A metric that is used to express the amount of variation or dispersion in a group of data is the standard deviation, which is also represented by the Greek letter sigma(σ).
To put it another way, it specifies the degree to which the members of a data group differ from the group's average value.
Given
The sum of heart rate readings taken five times for Kundaval is 400
The sum of heart rate readings taken five times for Kulazhi is 360
and their projected deviation are 3.16 and 2.0,
Now, the standard deviation is a measure of how dispersed the data are in relation to the mean, whereas the mean simply refers to the average of a set of given data.
As a result, as a doctor, I would prioritize treating the patient whose heart rate and projected deviation are higher. As a result, we would conclude that Kundaval, with a projected deviation of 3.16 and a sum of 400 heart rate readings, should be treated first.
Therefore, The immediate patient I would treat if I were a doctor is; Kundaval because he has a faster heart rate and a higher projected deviation.

If a share of a stock jumped from $9 to $25, what was the percent increase of this stock (rounded to the
nearest tenth)?
Answer: 177.8
Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent increase, we have to use this formula:
New value-old value/ old value x 100
So, following this formula, we would do 25-9, which, is 16, divided by 9. That would be 1.777... So now let's round that to 1.78, so 1.78 x 100 = 177.8. I hope this helped.

Answer: no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the point on the line 3x + y = 8 that is closest to the point
(−3, 1)
The point on the line 3x + y = 8 that is closest to the point (-3, 1) is (1.8, 2.6).
What is Quadratic Equations?Quadratic equations are equations of the form a x² + b x + c = 0 where a, b and c are real numbers.
Given line is,
3x + y = 8 ⇒ y = -3x + 8
So we have any point (x, -3x + 8).
We have to find a point (x, -3x + 8) such that distance of this point from (-3, 1) is minimum.
Distance between (-3, 1) and (x, -3x + 8) = √[(x - -3)² + (-3x + 8 - 1)²]
= √[(x + 3)² + (-3x + 7)²]
= √(x² + 6x + 9 + 9x² - 42x + 49)
= √(10x² - 36x + 58)
So the distance between (-3, 1) and (x, -3x + 8) is √(10x² - 36x + 58) should be minimum.
We minimize the function f(x) = 10x² - 36x + 58.
A quadratic function represents the equation of a parabola.
Coefficient of x² is positive, so parabola opens upward. So we will be having the minimum value.
Minimum value at the point x = -b / 2a for the quadratic equation a x² + b x + c.
Minimum value is at x = - (-36) / (2 × 10) = 36/20 = 9/5 = 1.8.
To find the y coordinate,
y = -3x + 8 = 2.6
So the required point is (1.8, 2.6).
Hence the point on the line closest to the point (-3, 1) is (1.8, 2.6)

Kyra is blocking off several rooms in a hotel for guests coming to her wedding. The hotel can reserve large rooms that can hold 8 people, and small rooms that can hold 6 people. Kyra reserved twice as many large rooms as small rooms, which altogether can accommodate 88 guests. Determine the number of small rooms reserved and the number of large rooms reserved.
The number of small rooms reserved is 4.
The number of large rooms reserved is 8.
What is an equation?An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.
We have,
Small rooms are denoted as S.
Large rooms are denoted as L.
Now,
We will make two equations.
L = 2S _____(1)
8L + 6S = 88 ______(2)
Putting (1) in (2) we get,
8L + 6S = 88
8 x (2S) + 6S = 88
16S + 6S = 88
22S = 88
S = 88/22
S = 8/2
S = 4
Now,
Putting S = 4 in (1) we get,
L = 2 x 4
L = 8
Thus,
The number of small rooms and large rooms reserved is 4 and 8.
