The height y (in feet) of a ball thrown by a child is < br /> < br /> where x is the horizontal distance in feet from the point at which the ball is thrown< br /> < br /> a).how high is the ball when it leaves the child's hand< br /> < br /> b).what is the maximum high of the ball< br /> < br /> c).how far from the child does the ball strike the ground< br />

I will assume you mistyped this question. For y = -1/16x^2 + 4x + 3, the answers to this question are
a) 3 feet
b) 67 feet
c) 64.741 feet

For a) we note that at x = 0, that is the instant where the ball leaves the hand. y(0) = 0.

For b), we find the vertex of y = -1/16x^2 + 4x + 3
                               y = -1/16x^2 + 4x + 3
                               y = -1/16(x^2 - 64x) + 3
                               y = -1/16(x^2 - 64x + 1024 - 1024) + 3
                               y = -1/16((x-32)^2 - 1024) + 3
                               y = -1/16(x-32)^2 + 64 + 3
                               y = -1/16(x-32)^2 + 67
The vertex is at (32,67) so 67 is the maximum height.

For c), we find the x-intercepts with the quadratic formula on
y = -1/16x^2 + 4x + 3=0:
                     x = [ -b ± √b^2 - 4ac ] / (2a)
                     x = [ -4 ± √4^2 - 4(-1/16)(3) ] / (2(-1/16))   
                     x = -0.741, 64.741
Only the positive solution, so 64.741 feet        

Iwould suggest the myers-briggs type indicator because the railroad unions are looking for which are focused introverts. the mbti was designed to provide a lot of information about what a person likes and what their personality based on the four-dimension scale. also for an employer it has been extremely to predict how an employee would act in a professional setting. this is what the railroad unions are looking for. they want the railroad workers to be focused and skillful to ensure the safety of everyone around them. but the other assessments don't match the criteria for the unions. like the measure disorder, emotions and self-esteem while the rorschach and tat tests are both projective tests that mainly measure someone’s personality. also, because this job is not easy, it is vital to make sure the employers are hiring the right people for the job.

Psychologists often talk of the magical number "7" - so it is generally assumed that we can keep 7 (more or less, so 5-9 is the correct answer) items in our short term memory - we know this as a result of many experiments.

we can increase this by chunking, so for example "7 8 9 5 3" is harder to remember than "78 95 3" - try it yourself!

the answer is a)
