Answer:

Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of 1 horse = 1,200 lb

Weight of trailer = 2,700 lb

Jacks'truck can tow a maximum of 5000 pounds.

To find the maximum number of horses Jack can take in his trailer without going over the maximum weight his truck can tow.

Solution:

Let the maximum number of horses that Jack can take be = x

Using unitary method to find weight of x horses.

If 1 horse weights = 1,200 lb

Then x horses will weight in lbs = 1,200\times x = 1,200x

Total weight of horses and trailer in lbs = 1200x+2700

Since the maximum weight the truck can tow = 5,000 lb, so the inequality can be given as:

1200x+2700\leq5000

Subtracting both sides by 2700.

1200x+2700-2700\leq5000-2700

1200x\leq2300

Dividing both sides by 1200.

\frac{1200x}{1200}\leq\frac{2300}{1200}

x\leq1.91

From the inequality solution for x, we can conclude that Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

9 ^-5 * 9^-3

When multiplying these we ADD the exponents:

9^-5 * 9^-3

= 9^(-5 + -3)

= 9 ^-8

= 1/9^8  Option A


2.    2^14 / 2^7   This is a division so we SUBTRACT the exponents:-

= 2^(14 - 7)  

= 2^7   (answer)

3.    If the triangle is a right angled one then it will obey Pythagoras Theorem so:-

13^ = x^2 + 5&2

x^2 = 13^2 - 5^2

x^2 = 144

x = 12    (answer)


4.   The last choice is a crucial step.

The total area of the triangles is the same in both large squares so  the area of the large  square e^2 = a^2 + b^2 ( the 2 squares in the left side large square).

Solving the equation
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-(4y + 2) - (-3y - 6) = -1

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

  1. Distribute: -4y - 2 + 3y + 6 = -1
  2. Combine like terms: -y + 4 = -1
  3. Subtract 4 on both sides: -y = -5
  4. Divide both sides by -1: y = 5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in y to verify it's a solution.</em>

-(4(5) + 2) - (-3(5) - 6) = -1

-(20 + 2) - (-15 - 6) = -1

-22 - (-21) = -1

-22 + 21 = -1

-1 = -1

An object is launched straight into the air. The projectile motion of the object can be modeled using h(t) = 96t – 16t2, where t
ratelena [41]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that height of projectile after t seconds is given by

h(t)=96t-16t^2

a.h(t)=144 ft

144=96t-16t^2

16t^2-96t+144=0

t^2-6t+9=0

t^2-3t-3t+9=0

t(t-3)-3(t-3)=0

(t-3)(t-3)=0

t-3=0

t=3

After 3 s, the height of the project will be 144 feet in the air.

b.h(t)=0

96t-16t^2=0

16t(6-t)=0

16t=0\implies t=0

6-t=0\implies t=6

At t=0, the initial position of projectile

At t=6 s , the projectile will hit the ground.
