Answer:

As per the statement:

A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a tower that is 280 ft high with an initial velocity of 48 ft/s .

Given the height of the object can be modeled by the equation:

s(t) = -16t^2+48t+280

where, t is the time in sec.

Since, we have the height s(t) = 280 ft

⇒280 = -16t^2+48t+280

Subtract 280 from both sides we have;

⇒0= -16t^2+48t

⇒0 = -16t(t-3)

By zero product property we have;

t = 0 and t-3 = 0

⇒t = 0 and t = 3

so, we need 3 second,  after that the ball is lower than the building.

Now, time to reach the ground

Substitute s(t) = 0

0= -16t^2+48t+280

or

-16t^2+48t+280 = 0

⇒-2t+6t+35 = 0

⇒t = -2.9441 and t = 5.9441

Since, t cannot be in negative

⇒t = 5.9441 s

so, at time t = 5.9441 sec it reaches ground.

Therefore, Interval where the height  of the ball is lower than the building is,

(3, 5.9441]

First find the time that the ball is level with the top of the building on its descent. You can do this by  solving 280 = -16^2 + 48t + 280 for t. This gives t = 3 seconds . 
Then when the ball reaches the ground the  time t is obtained by solving 0 = -16t^2 + 48t + 280  This gives t = 5.94 seconds.
Answer in interval notation is  (3, 5.94].

I need explanations for Mathematical Proofs.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Proofs employ logic expressed in mathematical symbols, along with natural language which usually admits some ambiguity. In most mathematical literature, proofs are written in terms of rigorous informal logic.

According to Bleiler-Baxter & Pair [22], for a mathematician, a proof serves to convince or justify that a certain statement is true. But it also helps to increase the understanding of the result and the related concepts. That is why a proof also has the role of explanation.

There are many different ways to go about proving something, we'll discuss 3 methods: direct proof, proof by contradiction, proof by induction. We'll talk about what each of these proofs are, when and how they're used. Before diving in, we'll need to explain some terminology.

Although I will focus on proofs in mathematical education per the topic of the question, first and foremost proofs are so hard because they involve taking a hypothesis and attempting to prove or disprove it by finding a counterexample. There are many such hypotheses that have (had) serious monetary rewards available.

In logic and mathematics, a formal proof or derivation is a finite sequence of sentences (called well-formed formulas in the case of a formal language), each of which is an axiom, an assumption, or follows from the preceding sentences in the sequence by a rule of inference.

All mathematicians in the study considered proofs valuable for students because they offer students new methods, important concepts and exercise in logical reasoning needed in problem solving. The study shows that some mathematicians consider proving and problem solving almost as the same kind of activities.

An average of 20 apples were sold from Monday to Friday. After the sales on Saturday and Sunday, the average apples sold per day
avanturin [10]
131 apples were sold on Saturday and Sunday.

Work:
Monday - Friday : 5 days
20 x 5 = 100 apples

Monday - Sunday: 7 days
33 x 7 = 231 apples

231 - 100 = 131

You have $1,998.00 on a credit card with a 14.5% APR. You miss your minimum payment the first month and there is a late fee of $
Minchanka [31]
There are 2 parts to this question.  1. One would be to calculate the interest based on your balance and 2. then to add the late fee.  Use the formula i = prt to calculate your simple interest. <em>i</em> represents the interest you will pay, <em>p</em> stands for the principal (balance on your credit card), and <em>t</em> stands for the period of time (related to a period of a year/annual percentage rate).  The $1998 balance times 0.145 times 1/12 gives the interest amount of $24.14.  So, $1998 + $24.14 + $37 = $2059.14 balance.
