Answer:

1000000/8025 = 40000/321 (simplified)

1000/9596

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

There is an alternative way to do this....

First it is important to understand what a reciprocal is. The reciprocal of any number x is the number 1/x. The reciprocal of a number is also its multiplicative inverse, which means that the number times its reciprocal must equal 1. For a number such as 2, the reciprocal would be 1/2. For a fraction such as 2/5, the reciprocal would be 5/2.

Finding the reciprocal of a decimal can be done in a number of ways.

Change the decimal to a fraction first.

Ex. 0.25 is 25/100 and is equivalent to the fraction 1/4. Therefore Its reciprocal would be 4/1 or 4.

Keep the decimal and form the fraction 1/?? which can then be or converted to a decimal.

Ex. 0.75 The reciprocal is 1/0.75. Using a calculator, the decimal form can be found by performing the operation: 1 divided by 0.75. The decimal reciprocal in this case is a repeating decimal, 1.33333....

After finding a reciprocal of a number, perform a quick check by multiplying your original number and the reciprocal to determine that the product is 1:

(0.25)(4) = 1.00

(0.75)(1.33....) = 1 but it is easier to see for sure with repeating decimals if you use the fractions instead of the decimals.

(3/4)(4/3) = 12/12 = 1

Hope this helps, Mark as brainliest if liked it! thanks!

Answer:

$H_0:\mu =45\\\\H_a:\mu\geq 45$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A toy manufacturer claims that the mean time that its top-selling toy captures children's attention is at least 45 minutes.

Since we need to carry out a hypothesis test whether he can refute the claim.

We always take the alternate hypothesis such that it should satisfy the given statement.

And the null hypothesis can be equal to mean or other than that is given in alternate hypothesis.

So, hypothesis :

$H_0:\mu =45\\\\H_a:\mu\geq 45$

A soccer ball is kicked toward the goal. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = −16t2 + 48t where t equals the

zlopas [31]

1. The function $h(t)=-16t^{2}+48t$ is a parabola of the form $ax^{2}+bx$ . The the formula for the axis of symmetry of a parabola is $x= \frac{-b}{2a}$ . We can infer from our function that $a=-16$ and $b=48$ , so lets replace those values in our formula:
$x= \frac{-b}{2a}$
$x= \frac{-48}{-2(16)}$
$x= \frac{-48}{-32}$
$x= \frac{3}{2}$
$x=1.5$
We can conclude that to the left of the line of symmetry the ball is reaching its maximum height, and to the right of the line of symmetry the ball is falling.

2. Lets check how much time the ball takes to reach its maximum height and return to the ground. To do that we are going to set the height equal to zero:
$0=-16t^{2}+48t$
$-16t(t-3)=0$
$t=0$ or $t-3=0$
$t=0$ or $t=3$
From our previous point we know that the ball reaches its maximum time at $t=1.5$ , which means that <span>it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 1.5 seconds to fall back to the ground.</span>

Someone please help :(

OleMash [197]

The answer would be answer choice a.

Because 5/4 = 1.25
tan (51) = 1.235
tan (45) = 1
tan (60) = 1.732
tan (57) = 1.5399

The closest to 1.25 is tan (51)

Hope this helps :)
