natima [27]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that Maya makes one dollar more for each book that she sells so if she sells 13 books, she will make 13 dollars more than her weekly earning which is 43 dollars. So to find the answer, you would need to add 13 + 43 which would equal 56 dollars.

A ball is launched upward from a height 40 feet above ground level. The ball’s height at t seconds is given by -16t^2=128=40 .

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The ball will be at 100 feet at time x=0.5 sec and at time x=7.5 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

A ball is launched upward from a height 40 feet above ground level. the ball's height at t seconds is given by h(t)=-16t^2+128t+40 At what time(s) will the ball be at 100 feet?

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+128t+40$

so

For h(t)=100 ft

substitute in the equation and solve for x

$-16t^{2}+128t+40=100$

$-16t^{2}+128t-60=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

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

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^{2}+128t-60=0$

so

$a=-16\\b=128\\c=-60$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-128(+/-)\sqrt{128^{2}-4(-16)(-60)}} {2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-128(+/-)\sqrt{12,544}} {-32}$

$x=\frac{-128(+/-)112} {-32}$

$x=\frac{-128(+)112} {-32}=0.5$

$x=\frac{-128(-)112} {-32}=7.5$

therefore

The ball will be at 100 feet at time x=0.5 sec and at time x=7.5 sec

Write the monomial in its standard form. Name its coefficient and

Degger [83]

Answer:

A monomial in standard form is (essentially) the product of one or more factors: a constant coefficient and one factor for each variable in the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, in the monomial 4x2y3, the factors are 4, x2, and y3. First, the coefficient is 4. The next factor, x2, is the x-factor, whose degree is 2.

Consider the line 2x-7y=-7. Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (-8,-6

monitta

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 7y = -7

2x + 7 = 7y

y = (2/7)x + 1

the slope of the line is the factor of x : 2/7

FYI that is the ratio y/x and means, when x changes by 7 points to the plus (right) side, then y changes 2 points to the plus (up) side.

the parallel line will have the same slope, of course. just a different y-axis-interception point. that means, the "+" term at the end changes. changes to what ?

well, we use the given point coordinates

-6 = (2/7)×-8 + c

-6 = -16/7 + c

-42/7 = -16/7 + c

-26/7 = c

so, the equation of the parallel line is

y = (2/7)x - 26/7

y = (2/7)×(x - 13)

the perpendicular line is a line that intercepts our original line with a 90 degree angle.

that means its slope will switch x and y of the original line slope and also flips the sign (from + to - or vice versa).

=> the slope of the perpendicular line is -7/2.

the line equation looks like

y = (-7/2)x + c

and again, we use the given point coordinates to find the missing c (y-intercept).

-6 = (-7/2)×-8 + c

-6 = -7×-4 +c

-6 = 28 + c

-34 = c

so, the full equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (-7/2)x - 34
