Answer:

$33.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the initial bill:

(100 + 20.7)% of X was paid

120.7/100 × X = 40.86

X = 40.86 × 100/120.7

X = 33.85252693

An 18-foot ladder touches a building 14 feet up the wall. What is the angle measure, to the nearest degree, of the ladder to the

kondor19780726 [428]

Trigonometry can be used to find angles and sides of simple triangles. If an 18-foot ladder touches a building 14 feet up the wall then the angle can be deduced by trigonometry. In this case, the ladder defines the hypotenuse (H) of the triangle and the wall defines the opposite (O) side of the triangle. Therefore we can use the equation theta=sin^-1(O/H) . This yields an angle of 51 degrees.

Answer:

To solve this problem, we can use a system of equations.

We know the quadratic expression has the form

$f(t)=at^{2}+bt$

Using points (1,12) and (4,0), we can form the following system to find a and b.

$12=a+b$

$0=16a+4b$

We need to divide the second equation by -4 and sum both equations

$12=a+b\\0=-4a-b$

$12=-3a\\a=\frac{12}{-3}\\ a=-4$

Then, we use this value to find the other variable

$12=a+b\\12=-4+b\\b=12+4\\b=16$

<h3>Therefore, the quadratic function that models the situation is</h3>

$f(t)=-4t^{2} +16t$ or $f(t)=-4t(t-4)$

According to this expression, after 2 seconds, the height is 16 feet.

$f(2)=-4(2)(2-4)=-8(-2)=16$
