Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office. She’s ordering from a restaurant that charges a $7.50 delivery fee an

d $14 per pizza. She wants to buy as many pizzas as she can, and she also needs to keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under $60.
Each pizza is cut into 8 slices, and she wonders how many total slices she can afford.

Q: What is the largest number of slices that Jacque can afford?

Lets answer the information by making it look like a budget subtraction:

60 = Total

1. Remove the delivery cost, so you can leave the rest of the budget for your pizzas.

60 - 7.50 = 52.50

2. Now, subtract the cost of pizzas multiple times until you reach it to where you dont have enough for another pizza.

52.50 - 14 = 38.50  Pizza 1

38.50 - 14 = 24.50  Pizza 2

24.50 - 14 = 10.50  Pizza 3

Now, theres not enough to buy another.

So, we know that Jacque can only afford 3 pizzas, but she need to calculate the number of slices.

3. Multiply the number of slices by the number of pizzas.

8 x 3 = 24

So, the largest number is 24 slices.

Given: 1; -5; -13 ; -23 ; ...<br><br> Derive a formula for the nth term in the pattern.
mylen [45]

Answer:

  f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the formula is ...

  f(n) = an^2 +bn +c

Then we have ...

  f(1) = 1 = a(1^2) +b(1) +c

  f(2) = -5 = a(2^2) +b(2) +c

  f(3) = -13 = a(3^2) +b(3) +c

__

Here's a way to solve these equations.

Subtract the first equation from the second:

  -6 = 3a +b . . . . . 4th equation

Subtract the second equation from the third:

  -8 = 5a +b . . . . . 5th equation

Subtract the fourth equation from the fifth:

  -2 = 2a

  a = -1

Then substituting into the 4th equation to find b, we have ...

  -6 = 3(-1) +b

  -3 = b

and ...

  1 = -1 +(-3) +c . . . . . substituting "a" and "b" into the first equation

  5 = c

The formula is ...

  f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5

Texas University Quarterback, Michael Daniels, is standing on his own 10-yard line. He throws a pass tword the opposite goal lin
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: The function is y=-\frac{28}{625}(x-35)^2+30.

Explanation:

It is given that Michael Daniels, is standing on his own 10-yard line. He throws a pass toward the opposite goal line. The football is 2 yards above the ground when the quarterback lets it go.

It follows a parabolic path. Reaching its highest point, 30 yards above the ground. It is caught 50 yards downfield at a point 2 yards above the ground.

So, the initial point is (10,2) and the other point is (60,2).

The height function of a football represents a downward parabola. The maximum point of the function is called vertex. So the vertex is (h,30).

The two point (10,2) and (60,2) have same y-coordinate, therefore the function is maximum at the midpoint of both points.

midpoint=(\frac{10+60}{2}, \frac{2+2}{2})=(35,2)

So, the function is maximum at x=35. Hence the vertex is (35,30)

The standard form of the parabola is,

y=a(x-h)^2+k

Where (h,k) is vertex and a is scale factor.

Since vertex is (35,30).

y=a(x-35)^2+30

The initial point is (10,2).

2=a(10-35)^2+30

-28=625a

a=-\frac{28}{625}

So the function of height is.

y=-\frac{28}{625}(x-35)^2+30

The graph of the function is shown below.
