Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for percent markup/discount= absulute value of original-new/original

plug the numbers is

(2.40-3.00/2.40) absolute value=0.25

0.25 as a percent is 25%

The graph h = −16t^2 + 25t + 5 models the height and time of a ball that was thrown off of a building where h is the height in f

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

part 1) 0.78 seconds

part 2) 1.74 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

At about what time did the ball reach the maximum?

Let

h ----> the height of a ball in feet

t ---> the time in seconds

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+25t+5$

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

so

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the time when the ball reach the maximum

Find the vertex

Convert the equation in vertex form

Factor -16

$h(t)=-16(t^{2}-\frac{25}{16}t)+5$

Complete the square

$h(t)=-16(t^{2}-\frac{25}{16}t+\frac{625}{1,024})+5+\frac{625}{64}$

$h(t)=-16(t^{2}-\frac{25}{16}t+\frac{625}{1,024})+\frac{945}{64}\\h(t)=-16(t^{2}-\frac{25}{16}t+\frac{625}{1,024})+\frac{945}{64}$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$h(t)=-16(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}+\frac{945}{64}$

The vertex is the point $(\frac{25}{32},\frac{945}{64})$

therefore

The time when the ball reach the maximum is 25/32 sec or 0.78 sec

step 2

At about what time did the ball reach the minimum?

we know that

The ball reach the minimum when the the ball reach the ground (h=0)

For h=0

$0=-16(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}+\frac{945}{64}$

$16(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}=\frac{945}{64}$

$(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}=\frac{945}{1,024}$

square root both sides

$(t-\frac{25}{32})=\pm\frac{\sqrt{945}}{32}$

$t=\pm\frac{\sqrt{945}}{32}+\frac{25}{32}$

the positive value is

$t=\frac{\sqrt{945}}{32}+\frac{25}{32}=1.74\ sec$

The radius of circle A is 4 times greater than the radius of circle B. Which of the following statements is true?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Correct answer: C. Ca = 4 Cb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Ra = 4 Rb

Ca : Cb = ?

Using the following formula to calculate the circumference of a circle:

C = 2 R π

Cb = 2 Rb π

Ca = 2 Ra π = 2 ·( 4 · Rb) · π = 4 · (2 Rb π) = 4 · Cb

Ca = 4 · Cb
