Thirty-three percent of all students at a high school like beef stew. Put of three hundred students, forty are selected randomly and asked whether they liked beef stew. If liking beef stew is a success, the probability of a failure for this binomial experiment would be 0.67. The answer would be letter D.
For 4 4 to 5 16 to 20 24 to 30
"how long..." is asking for time (t). "The amount of time spent in the air" is the time from when the ball was kicked (0 seconds) to the time it landed on the ground. Need to find the x-intercepts (one will be negative which will be invalid). You can do this by factoring ... <em>or by using the quadratic formula.</em> With the equation you provided, it is not factorable, so you must use the quadratic formula.
h = -16t² + 60t + 3
a=-16 b=60 c=3
or 
or 
t = -0.05 or t = 3.8 <em>disregard the negative</em>
Answer: 3.8 seconds
The simple way of calculating a perimeter is to add all of the sides.
For a rectangle this would equal 2 x length + 2 x width
P = 2(6x + 3) + 2(-2x - 5)
= 12x + 6 - 4x - 10
= 8x - 4
At a higher level both the length and width must be greater than zero (= zero is a trivial rectangle)
6x + 3 > 0
6x > -3
x > -0.5
-2x - 5 > 0
2x + 5 < 0 (multiplying by -1 reverses the inequality)
2x < -5
x < -2.5
This rectangle cannot exist as x cannot be < -2.5 and > -0.5 at the same time!
