Explain why it does not make sense to interpret the

y-intercept in Problem 17.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It does not make sense to interpret the y-intercept in Problem 17 because while finding the equation of the line only two pointare required.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The given table of problem 17 is

02

Step 2. Explanation the y-intercept.

Refer to the scatter plot of question number 17.

The y- intercept of any line y=mx+c is the value of y at x = 0.

That is y = c.

In the above graph, there is no such point where the value of x is 0. Thus, the y-intercept does not exist.

Artillery A projectile fired from the point (0, 0) at an angle

to the positive x-axis has a trajectory given by

y=cx-1+c2g2xv2

where

x = horizontal distance in meters

y = height in meters

v = initial muzzle velocity in meters per second (m/sec)

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 meters per second squared m/sec2

c>0is a constant determined by the angle of elevation.

A howitzer fires an artillery round with a muzzle velocity of 897 m/sec.

(a) If the round must clear a hill 200 meters high at a distance of 2000 meters in front of the howitzer, what cvalues are permitted in the trajectory equation?

(b) If the goal in part (a) is to hit a target on the ground 75 kilometers away, is it possible to do so? If so, for what values of c? If not, what is the maximum distance the round will travel?

Can a quadratic function have a range of(-鈭�,鈭�) ? Justify your answer.

Consider the function fx=xx+4.

(a) Is the point 1,14on the graph of function.

(b) if x=-2, what is f(x). What point is on the graph of f ?

(c) If fx=2, what is x? What point is on the graph of f ?

(a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data treating weight as the independent variable.

(b) What type of relation appears to exist between the weight of a box of raisins and the number of raisins?

(c) Select two points and find a linear model that contains the points.

(d) Graph the line on the scatter diagram drawn in part (b).

(e) Use the linear model to predict the number of raisins in a box that weighs 42.5 grams.

(f) Interpret the slope of the line found in part (c).

Car Rentals The cost C, in dollars, of renting a moving truck for a day is modeled by the function C(x)=0.25x+35, where x is the number of miles driven.

(a) What is the cost if you drive x=40miles?

(b) If the cost of renting the moving truck is \(80, how many miles did you drive?

(c) Suppose that you want the cost to be no more than \)100. What is the maximum number of miles that you can drive?

(d) What is the implied domain of C ?

(e) Interpret the slope.

( f ) Interpret the y-intercept.
