55. The table below shows the results of an<br />
experiment that relates the height at which a<br />
ball is dropped, x, to the height of its first<br />
bounce, y.<br />
57. A pair of figure skaters graphed part of their<br />
routine on a grid. The male skater's path is<br />
1<br />
represented by the equation mx ( ) = 3sin<br />
x<br />
2 ,<br />
and the female skater's path is represented by<br />
the equation f ( x) =−2 cosx. On the<br />
accompanying grid, sketch both paths and<br />
state how many times the paths of the skaters<br />
intersect between x = 0 and x = 4π .<br />
Find x, the mean of the drop heights.<br />
Find y, the mean of the bounce heights.<br />
Find the linear regression equation that best<br />
fits the data.<br />
Show that ( x, y)<br />
is a point on the line of<br />
regression. [The use of the grid is optional.]<br />
56. In the accompanying diagram of circle O, PA<br />
is drawn tangent to the circle at A. Place B on<br />
PA anywhere between P and A and draw<br />
OA, OP, and OB. Prove that OB is not<br />
perpendicular to PA.<br />
58. The equation for radioactive decay is<br />
t<br />
p = (.) 05 H , where p is the part of a substance<br />
with half-life H remaining radioactive after a<br />
period of time, t.<br />
A given substance has a half-life of 6,000<br />
years. After t years, one-fifth of the original<br />
sample remains radioactive. Find t, to the<br />
nearest thousand years.<br />
59. Solve algebraically: x+ 5+ 1=<br />
x<br />
60. One force of 20 pounds and one force of 15<br />
pounds act on a body at the same point so that<br />
the resultant force is 19 pounds. Find, to the<br />
nearest degree, the angle between the two<br />
original forces.
