Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

The cup on the 9th hole of a golf course is located dead center in the middle of a circular green which is 40 feet in radius. Your ball is located as in the picture below. The ball follows a straight line path and exits the green at the right-most edge. Assume the ball travels 8 ft/sec. Introduce coordinates so that the cup is the origin of an xy-coordinate system and start by writing down the equations of the circle and the linear path of the ball. Provide numerical answers below with two decimal places of accuracy. 50 feet green ball 40 feet 9 cup ball path rough (a) The x-coordinate of the position where the ball enters the green will be (b) The ball will exit the green exactly seconds after it is hit. (c) Suppose that L is a line tangent to the boundary of the golf green and parallel to the path of the ball. Let Q be the point where the line is tangent to the circle. Notice that there are two possible positions for Q. Find the possible x-coordinates of Q: smallest x-coordinate =…

Introduce yourself and describe a time when you used data in a personal or professional decision. This could be anything from analyzing sales data on the job to making an informed purchasing decision about a home or car. Describe to Susan how to take a sample of the student population that would not represent the population well. Describe to Susan how to take a sample of the student population that would represent the population well. Finally, describe the relationship of a sample to a population and classify your two samples as random, systematic, cluster, stratified, or convenience.
