Answer:
The number of students who liked the book was 64.
Step-by-step explanation:
After reading a book for English class, 100 students were asked whether or not they enjoyed it.
Now, given that nine twenty-fifths of the class did not like the book.
So, of the whole class did not like the book.
Then, the fraction of the class who did like the book was .
Therefore, the number of students who liked the book was . (Answer)
Answer:
18) a. h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144
b. The maximum height = 400 feet
c. Attached graph
19) The rocket will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds
20) The rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets study the rule of motion for an object with constant acceleration
# The distance S = ut ± 1/2 at², where u is the initial velocity, t is the time
and a is the acceleration of gravity
# The vertical distances h in x second is h(x) - h(0), where h(0)
is the initial height of the object above the ground
∵ h(x) = vx + 1/2 ax², where h is the vrtical distance, v is the initial
velocity, a is the acceleration of gravity (32 feet/second²) and x
is the time
18)a.
∵ The value of a = -32 ft/sec² ⇒ negative because the direction
of the motion
is upward
∴ h(x) - h(0) = vx - (1/2)(32)(x²) ⇒ (1/2)(32) = 16
∴ h(x) = vx - 16x² + h(0)
∴ h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ proved
* Find the height of the object after x seconds from the ground
∵ h(0) = 144 and v = 128 ft/sec
∴ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144
b.
* At the maximum height h'(x) = 0
∵ h'(x) = -32x + 128
∴ -32x + 128 = 0 ⇒ subtract 128 from both sides
∴ -32x = -128 ⇒ ÷ -32
∴ x = 4 seconds
- The time for the maximum height = 4 seconds
- Substitute this value of x in the equation of h(x)
∴ The maximum height = -16(4)² + 128(4) + 144 = 400 feet
c. Attached graph
19)
- The object will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds
20)
- When the rocket hits the ground h(x) = 0
∵ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144
∴ 0 = -16x² + 128x + 144 ⇒ divide the two sides by -16
∴ x² - 8x - 9 = 0 ⇒ use the factorization to find the value of x
∵ x² - 8x - 9 = 0
∴ (x - 9)( x + 1) = 0
∴ x - 9 = 0 OR x + 1 = 0
∴ x = 9 OR x = -1
- We will rejected -1 because there is no -ve value for the time
* The time for the object to hit the ground is 9 seconds
