You can either convert -3 into a fraction, or convert -2/5 into a decimal so you can solve this.
If you decide to convert -3, into a fraction, it would be -3/1, and you'd have to multiply that by the reciprocal of -2/5.
So, you'd have -3/1(-5/2)=15/2, which can be simplified to 7 1/2.
If you decide to convert -2/5 into a decimal, you would get -0.4. You would then divide -3 by -0.4, which is equal to 7.5.
Both 7.5 and 7 1/2 are correct answers, and if you were to convert 7.5 into a fraction and 7 1/2 into a decimal, you would notice that they are the same number, but in different forms.
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is:
s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160.
This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2.
Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet.
The answer for the given above is letter "a, -6r2s4t3". This is obtained by dividing 18 by -3 and subtracting the exponent below with that from above of the same variable. For r, subtract 2 from 4 to get 2. For s, subtract 1 from 5 to get 4 and lastly for t, subtract 3 from 6 to get 3.
/ also means division so the answer is 42.75
.45 is 45/100 (simplify) 9/20
1/2 is already simplest form of fraction.
