Martin throws a ball straight up in the air. the equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 40t + 5 gives the height of the ball, in feet, t secon

Lisa [10]

Answer:

2.62 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ----> the time in seconds

h(t) ----> he height of the ball, in feet

we have

$h(t)=-16t^2+40t+5$

we know that

When the ball hits the ground, the height is equal to zero

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$at^{2} +bt+c=0$

is equal to

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

$a=-16\\b=40\\c=5$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{40^{2}-4(-16)(5)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-40+\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=-0.12\ sec$

$t=\frac{-40-\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=2.62\ sec$

therefore

The solution is t=2.62 seconds

The wholesale price for a shirt is $5.50. A certain department store marks up the wholesale price by 40%. Find the price of the

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$7.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

you can solve this by using a simple rule of three.

Step 1

define

if the wholesale price for a shirt is $5.50,it is 100 percent

$5.50⇔100%

the new price(x) is 40% more than the original, it means 140%

x ⇔ 140%

the relation is

$\frac{5.5}{100}= \frac{x}{140}\\$

Step 2

solve for x(isolate x)

$\frac{5.5}{100}= \frac{x}{140}\\x=\frac{5.5*140}{100}\\x=7.7$

the price of the shirt in the department store is $7.7

Have a nice day.

D)) The ratio of the monthly income and expenditure of Sunayana is 5 : 3. If she

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Sunayana's income is ₹25000 and expenditures are ₹15000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let i denote the monthly income and e denote the expenditures.

We know that the ratio of the monthly income to expenditure is 5:3. So, we can write the following proportion:

$\frac{i}{e}=\frac{5}{3}$

Let's multiply both sides by e. This yields:

$i=\frac{5}{3}e$

We know that when the income is <em>increased</em> by 5000 and the expenditures are <em>decreased </em>by 3000, the new ratio is 5:2. So, we can write the following proportion:

$\frac{i+5000}{e-3000}=\frac{5}{2}$

Let's multiply both sides by $(e-3000)$ :

$i+5000=\frac{5}{2}(e-3000)$

Since we know that $i=\frac{5}{3}e$ , substitute:

$\frac{5}{3}e+5000=\frac{5}{2}(e-3000)$

So, let's solve for the expenditures. Distribute the right:

$\frac{5}{3}e+5000=\frac{5}{2}e-7500$

Subtract $\frac{5}{2}e$ from both sides:

$-\frac{5}{6}e+5000=-7500$

Subtract 5000 from both sides:

$-\frac{5}{6}e=-12500$

Multiply both sides by -6/5. So, the expenditures are:

$e=\text{Rs }15000$

We can use the original ratio to find Sunayana's income:

$i=\frac{5}{3}e$

Substitute 15000 for e. Evaluate:

$i=\frac{5}{3}(15000)=\text{Rs }25000$

So, Sunayana's income is ₹25000 and expenditures are ₹15000.

And we're done!
