ANSWER
The percentage decrease is 10.4%.
EXPLANATION
To calculate percentage decrease, use the formula,
Percentage decrease

Yesterday the price of coffee was 2.40. This is the old price.
Today the price is 2.15. This is the new price.




To the nearest tenth, we have:

Therefore the percentage decrease is 10.4%.
Let
x:adult tickets
y:youth tickets
We have
2x+3y=134
3x+2y=146
Rewritting
6x+9y=402
-6x -4y=-292
adding
5y=110
Clearing y:
y=110/5
y=22
Answer:
the price of a youth ticket is 22$
Answer:
a) No. t < 0 is not part of the useful domain of the function
b) 2.0 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
a) A graph of the function is shown below. It shows t-intercepts at t=-0.25 and t=2.0. We presume that t is measured forward from some event such as the ball being thrown or hit. The model's predicted ball location has no meaning prior to that event, when values of t are negative.
__
b) It is convenient to use a graphing calculator to find the t-intercepts. Or, the equation can be solved for h=0 any of several ways algebraically. One is by factoring.
h = 0 = -16t² +28t +8 . . . . . . . . . . . . the ball hits the ground when h = 0
0 = -4(4t² -7t -2) = -4(4t +1)(t -2)
This has t-intercepts where the factors are zero, at t=-1/4 and t=2.
The ball will hit the ground after 2 seconds.
