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.
