You have to isolate the a. Add fifteen to both sides of the equation, so it’s

2a=15-1

Then subtract 15 and 1, so then the quantity is 14

2a=14

Then divide 2 by both sides, and the answer is

a=7

The answer is 125. If you were to pair 250 people in 2, that would be 250 divided by 2. And 250 divided by 2 is 125.

What is the maximum height of of Anna's golf ball? The equation is y=x−0.04x2.

elena-s [515]

Given:

The height of a golf ball is represented by the equation:

$y=x-0.04x^2$

To find:

The maximum height of of Anna's golf ball.

Solution:

We have,

$y=x-0.04x^2$

Differentiate with respect to x.

$y'=1-0.04(2x)$

$y'=1-0.08x$

For critical values, $y'=0$ .

$1-0.08x=0$

$-0.08x=-1$

$x=\dfrac{-1}{-0.08}$

$x=12.5$

Differentiate y' with respect to x.

$y''=(0)-0.08(1)$

$y''=-0.08$

Since double derivative is negative, the function is maximum at $x=12.5$ .

Substitute $x=12.5$ in the given equation to get the maximum height.

$y=(12.5)-0.04(12.5)^2$

$y=12.5-0.04(156.25)$

$y=12.5-6.25$

$y=6.25$

Therefore, the maximum height of of Anna's golf ball is 6.25 units.
