You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Arthur drops a ball from a height of 81 feet above the ground. Its height, h, is given by the equation h = –16t2 + 81, where t i
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.

Create an inequality that represents this situation:

-16t^2+81 The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.

The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:

-16t^2 then divide both sides by -16:

t^2>4 Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is

t > 2 sec. That means that after 2 seconds, the height of the ball is less than 17 feet.
