Answer:

If n is an integer, then n is greater than -n.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since n is an integer, it is greater than -n.

Let's assume that n = 12. Then replace n with 12.

Which is greater? 12 or -12? And in this case, 12 is greater.

Work out the area of the trapezium ABDE.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(half * base 1 * base 2)/height

base 1 is 6 and base 2 is 9

get the height from similarity

6/9 = 8/CE

therefore CE = 72/6

In a video game, a bird is flung on a sling shot and follows a parabolic path. The path of the bird can be modeled by the equati

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h=-16t^2+55t+4$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

where

h is the height of the bird

t is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird had been in the air

For h=40 ft

substitute in the quadratic equation

$40=-16t^2+55t+4$

$-16t^2+55t+4-40=0$

$-16t^2+55t-36=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

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

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+55t-36=0$

$a=-16\\b=55\\c=-36$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{55^{2}-4(-16)(-36)}} {2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{721}} {-32}$

$x=\frac{-55+\sqrt{721}} {-32}=0.88\ sec$

$x=\frac{-55-\sqrt{721}} {-32}=2.56\ sec$

therefore

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

A machine at a bottling company fills water bottles. the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the mach

Whitepunk [10]

In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

$\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ \end{gathered}$

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Tuesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Wednesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}$

Thursday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}$

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.
