The new price of stock of Widget industries is $43 \frac{7}{8}$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, Widget Industries had stock that sold at $36\frac{5}{8}$ points.

The stock rose $7\frac{1}{4}$ points.

We have find what is the new price of the stock ?

Now, we know that, new price of the stock will be combination of sold value of the stock and the new rise of points to the stock

Then, new price of the stock = sold price of stock + rise in points

$\text { New price of stock }=36 \frac{5}{8}+7 \frac{1}{4}$

Converting the mixed fractions, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{38 \times 8+5}{8}+\frac{7 \times 4+1}{4}} \\\\ {=\frac{293}{8}+\frac{29}{4}=\frac{293}{8}+\frac{58}{8}=\frac{293+58}{8}=\frac{351}{8}=\frac{344+7}{8}=43 \frac{7}{8}}\end{array}$

Hence, the new price of the stock is $43 \frac{7}{8}$

Let's find out the gradient (Slope " m ") of line q ;

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m = \dfrac{4 - 0}{0 - 1}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:m = - 4$

Now, since we already know the gradient let's find of the equation of line by using its Slope and one of the points using point slope form of line :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y - 4 = m(x - 0)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y = mx + 4$

Now, plug in the value of gradient ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y = - 4x + 4$

here we can clearly observe that, the Area under the curve can easily be represented as :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:y < - 4x + 4$

Since, all the values of y that lies in the shaded region is smaller than the actual value of y for the corresponding values of x in the equation of line q

A ball is thrown from the top row of seats in a stadium. The function h(t) = - 16t^2 + 80t + 96 gives the height, in feet, of th

Rudik [331]

Answer:

2s or 3s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function that models the height of the object as;

h(t) = - 16t^2 + 80t + 96

The ball reaches the ground when h = 0

Substitute

0 = - 16t^2 + 80t + 96

Divide through by -16

0 = t²-5t-6

t²-5t-6 = 0

t²-2t-3t+6 = 0

t(t-2)-3(t-2) = 0

(tt-2)(t-3) = 0

t - 2 = 0 and t-3 = 0

t = 2 and 3s

Hence it will take the ball 2s or 3s to reach the ground

What is the equation of the following graph?

dangina [55]

There are a couple of different ways you could do this, but I'll show the simpler way. We will use the formula

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

along with the fact that the vertex has h and k coordinates of 1 and 4 respectively, and that a point on the graph is (3, 5). We could have used any point on the graph where there is a definite integer coordinate pair. We will fill in accordingly and solve for a.

$5=a(3-1)^2+4$ and

5 = 4a + 4. If we subtract 4 from both sides we get that $a=\frac{1}{4}$ . Now we will fill in the formula and expand as needed:

$y=\frac{1}{4}(x-1)^2+4$ and

$y=\frac{1}{4}(x^2-2x+1)+4$ . If we distribute the 1/4 in and then add the constants the final equation for that graph will be

$y=\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{17}{4}$
