Fourteen less than three fourths of a number is negative eight. Find the number

The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:

3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
       +14   +14

3/4x=6.
*4/3   *4/3

x=8.

Answer: $800 because if you have a light that is $2,000 and it loses %10 of its price per month, and June is 4 months away, then it is only $800.

4 x .1 = .4 so $2,000 x .4 = $800

In a certain neighborhood, there's a sagging power line between two utility poles. The utility poles are 50 feet tall and 120 fe
e-lub [12.9K]
<h3>Answer:  33.75 feet</h3>

In fraction form, this value is equal to 135/4

33.75 ft is equivalent to 33 ft, 9 inches.

===============================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The key point to start with is point H, which is the vertex of the parabola.

Recall that vertex form is

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

What we'll do is plug in the vertex (h,k) = (60,30) which is the location of point H. We'll also plug in (0,45) which is the y intercept, aka the location of point C.

So,

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

y = a(x-60)^2 + 30 .... plug in vertex

45 = a(0-60)^2 + 30 .... plug in y intercept coordinates

45 = a(-60)^2 + 30

45 = a(3600) + 30

45 = 3600a + 30

45-30 = 3600a

3600a = 15

a = 15/3600

a = 1/240

This then means:

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

y = (1/240)(x-60)^2 + 30

This is the equation of our parabola. Plug in x = 30 to determine the height of point K

y = (1/240)(x-60)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(30-60)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(-30)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(900) + 30

y = 15/4 + 30

y = 15/4 + 120/4

y = 135/4

y = 33.75

Therefore, the height of the power line, when it is 30 feet away from one of the poles, is 33.75 feet. This is the y coordinate of point K.

Side note: 33.75 ft = 33 ft + 0.75 ft = 33 ft + 12*0.75 in = 33 ft + 9 inches

What is the greatest integer a, such that a^2 + 3b is less than (2b)^2, assuming that b is 5? Please answer and have a nice day!
solniwko [45]
<h3>Answer: Largest value is a = 9</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

b = 5

(2b)^2 = (2*5)^2 = 100

So we want the expression a^2+3b to be less than (2b)^2 = 100

We need to solve a^2 + 3b < 100 which turns into

a^2 + 3b < 100

a^2 + 3(5) < 100

a^2 + 15 < 100

after substituting in b = 5.

------------------

Let's isolate 'a'

a^2 + 15 < 100

a^2 < 100-15

a^2 < 85

a < sqrt(85)

a < 9.2195

'a' is an integer, so we round down to the nearest whole number to get a \le 9

So the greatest integer possible for 'a' is a = 9.

------------------

Check:

plug in a = 9 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

9^2 + 3(5) < 100

81 + 15 < 100

96 < 100 .... true statement

now try a = 10 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

10^2 + 3(5) < 100

100 + 15 < 100 ... you can probably already see the issue

115 < 100 ... this is false, so a = 10 doesn't work
