We are given : Cost of a gallon of milk = $2.50.

Cost of a cup of yogurt = $1.20.

Total money Monica has = $20.

Number of cups of yogurt Monica can buy = x.

And inequality made is also correct

1.20x + 2.5 ≤ 20.

Now, we need to solve it for x.

Subtracting 2.5 from both sides, we get

1.20x + 2.5 -2.5 ≤ 20 - 2.5.

1.20x ≤ 17.5

Dividing both sides by 1.20, we get

1.20x/1.20 ≤ 17.5/1.20.

x ≤ 14.5833...

Because it's less than 15, so final answer is : 14 is  greatest number of cups of yogurt Monica can buy.

A ball is projected in to the air. Its height at time t is given by the equation
Ksju [112]
The equation gives the height of the ball. That is, h is the height of the ball. t is the time. Since we are looking for the time at which the height is 8 (h=8), we need to set the equation equal to 8 and solve for t. We do this as follows:

h=-16 t^{2} +60t+1
8=-16 t^{2} +60t+1
16 t^{2} -60t-1+8=0
16 t^{2} -60t+7=0

This is a quadratic equation and as it is set equal to 0 we can solve it using the quadratic formula. That formula is:
t= \frac{-bplus minus \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}
You might recall seeing this as "x=..." but since our equation is in terms of t we use "t-=..."

In order to use the formula we need to identify a, b and c.
a = the coefficient (number in front of) t^{2} = 16.
b = the coefficient of t = -60
c = the constant (the number that is by itself) = 7

Substituting these into the quadratic formula gives us:
t= \frac{-(-60)plus minus \sqrt{ (-60)^{2}-4(16)(7) } }{2(16)}
t= \frac{60plus minus \sqrt{3600-448 } }{32}
t= \frac{60plus minus \sqrt{3152 } }{32}

As we have "plus minus" (this is usually written in symbols with a plus sign over a minus sign) we split the equation in two and obtain:
t=  \frac{60+56.1426}{32} =3.63
and
t=  \frac{60-56.1426}{32} =.12

So the height is 8 feet at t = 3.63 and t=.12

It should make sense that there are two times. The ball goes up, reaches it's highest height and then comes back down. As such the height will be 8 at some point on the way up and also at some point on the way down.
