It is important to carefully look at all the information's that are given in the question. based on those information's the answer to the question has to be deduced. One important aspect for doing this problem is converting 1 minute into 60 seconds and then start solving.
In 15 seconds a the number of desk chairs a furniture factory can box = 1
In 60 seconds a the number of
desk chairs a furniture factory can box = (1/15) * 60
= 4 chairs
So the correct option is option "C" among all the options given in the question. As can be seen from the deduction above, 4 desk chairs per minute can be boxed by the furniture company.

A competitive diver dives from a 33-foot high diving board. The height of the diver in feet after 't' seconds is given by u(t) =

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

$t = 0.375s$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 4t + 33$ --- driver 1

$Rate = 2ft/s$ -- driver 2

$height = 33ft$

Required

The time they passed each other

First, we determine the function of driver 2.

We have that:

$Rate = 2ft/s$ and $height = 33ft$

So, the function is:

$h_2(t) = Height - Rate * t$

$h_2(t) = 33 - 2t$

The time they drive pass each other is calculated as:

$h(t) = h_2(t)$

$-16t^2 + 4t + 33= 33 - 2t$

Collect like terms

$-16t^2 + 4t + 2t= 33 - 33$

$-16t^2 + 6t= 0$

Divide through by 2t

$-8t + 3= 0$

Solve for -8t

$-8t = -3$

Solve for t

$t = \frac{-3}{-8}$

$t = 0.375s$

Please help me to solve this

zzz [600]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the height by use Pythagoras theorem on the right triangle:

h = sqrt (5^2 - 4^2)

= sqrt 9

= 3.

Volume of the prism = area of the triangle * length

= 1/2 * 3 * 4 * 10

= 1/2 * 12 * 10

= 60 cm^3.

Total area = area of 2 triangles + area 0f 3 rectangles

= 2 * 1/2 * 3 * 4 + 3 * 10 + 4 * 10 + 5 * 10

= 12 + 30 + 40 + 50

= 132 cm^2.

(-y+5•3)+7.2y-9)=6.2y+n

kramer

(-y+5x3)+(7.2y-9)=6.2y+n
(-y+15)+(7.2y-9)=6.2y+n
since you're adding the two parentheses, you don't need to have them there
-y+15+7.2y-9=6.2y+n
7.2y-y +15-9 =6.2y+n
6.2y + 6 =6.2y+n
6.2y - 6.2y -n = -6
-n=-6
n=6

. Mrs. Rojas deposited $8000 into an account paying 4% interest annually. After 8 months Mrs. Rojas withdrew the $6000 plus inte

Mashcka [7]

well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$6000\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=years\to \frac{8}{12}\dotfill &\frac{2}{3} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=6000[1+(0.04)(\frac{2}{3})]\implies A=6000\left( \frac{77}{75} \right)\implies A=6160$

well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.

what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$6000\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=6000[1+(0.04)(1)]\implies A=6240$

so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?

$\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{for 8 months}}{160}}{\underset{\textit{for 12 months}}{240}}\implies \cfrac{2}{3}$
