48 : x = 9.6 : 40

9.6x = 1920

x = 1920 / 9.6

x = <u>200 ft.</u>

Answer:

t≈8.0927

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 128t +12

We want to find when h(t) is zero ( or when it hits the ground)

0 =  -16t^2 + 128t +12

Completing the square

Subtract 12 from each side

-12  =  -16t^2 + 128t

Divide each side by -16

-12/-16  =  -16/-16t^2 + 128/-16t

3/4 = t^2 -8t

Take the coefficient of t and divide it by 8

-8/2 = -4

Then square it

(-4) ^2 = 16

Add 16 to each side

16+3/4 = t^2 -8t+16

64/4 + 3/4= (t-4)^2

67/4 = (t-4)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(67/4) =sqrt( (t-4)^2)

±1/2sqrt(67) = (t-4)

Add 4 to each side

4 ±1/2sqrt(67) = t

The approximate values for t are

t≈-0.092676

t≈8.0927

The first is before the rocket is launched so the only valid answer is the second one

from 1970 to 1980 the consumer price index increased from 38.8 to 82.4. If a container of onion dip cost $0.48 in 1970 and the p
Vikki [24]
We need to find the percent increase from 38.8 to 82.4, so

x * 38.8 = 82.4
x = 82.4/38.8
x = 2.1237

Multiply by 100 to convert to percentage (move decimal 2 places to the right)

2.1237 = 212.37%

Now we can apply this percentage increase to the onion dip...

0.48 x 212.37% =
0.48 x 2.1237 = 1.019 
 
Round to the nearest cent $1.02 is the amount of increase.  Now add it to the original price to get today's price...

$1.02 + .48 = $1.50

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 5 = 3(x - 1)

y - 5 = 3x - 3

3x - y = -2.

The standard form is 3x - y = -2.

A long distance runner starts at the beginning of a trail and runs at a rate of 4 miles per hour. two hours later, a cyclist sta
valina [46]

To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let us say that:

A = runner

B = cyclist

d = distance

v = velocity

time = t

 

The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:

dA = dB

 

We know that the formula for calculating distance is:

d = v t

therefore,

vA tA = vB tB

 

Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:

vA (tB + 2) = vB tB

4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB

4 tB + 8 = 14 tB

10 tB = 8

tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min

 

Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8 hours or 48 minutes.

14 POINTS + Brainliest to first correct answer with explanation and diagram.
zhuklara [117]

So for example we have

1/2 divided by 1/6

What we will do it’s

Leave the first one As it is

Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down

The change the divide to multiply

Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal

Simplify the fraction (if needed)

So it’s will be like this

1/2 x 6/1 = 6/2

Simplify it

6/2 =3

I hope it’s will help u ✨
