How does " 7 less than three-fifths of a is b" look

Mathematics

Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago

Let's do it step by step:
"three-fifths of a" would be 3/5 multiplied by a, as that is how you find fractions of numbers, so we can write that as (3/5)a
"7 less" means we have to subtract 7 from (3/5)a, so we get (3/5)a - 7
Now all we need to do is make it equal to B, so your final answer is
(3/5)a - 7 = b

I hope this helps! I put the 3/5 in brackets just so you didn't mistake it as 3/(5a) :)

A flying cannonball’s height is described by formula y=−16t^2+300t. Find the highest point of its trajectory. In how many second
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>Highest point = 1406.25 Number of seconds = 9.375 We've been given the quadratic equation y = -16t^2 + 300t which describes a parabola. Since a parabola is a symmetric curve, the highest value will have a t value midway between its roots. So using the quadratic formula with A = -16, B = 300, C = 0. We get the roots of t = 0, and t = 18.75. The midpoint will be (0 + 18.75)/2 = 9.375 So let's calculate the height at t = 9.375. y = -16t^2 + 300t y = -16(9.375)^2 + 300(9.375) y = -16(87.890625) + 300(9.375) y = -1406.25 + 2812.5 y = 1406.25 So the highest point will be 1406.25 after 9.375 seconds. Let's verify that. I'll use the value of (9.375 + e) for the time and substitute that into the height equation and see what I get.' y = -16t^2 + 300t y = -16(9.375 + e)^2 + 300(9.375 + e) y = -16(87.890625 + 18.75e + e^2) + 300(9.375 + e) y = -1406.25 - 300e - 16e^2 + 2812.5 + 300e y = 1406.25 - 16e^2 Notice that the only term with e is -16e^2. Any non-zero value for e will cause that term to be negative and reduce the total value of the equation. Therefore any time value other than 9.375 will result in a lower height of the cannon ball. So 9.375 is the correct time and 1406.25 is the correct height.</span>

What key features are necessary and how they can be used to create the sketch of a polynomial function?
Tomtit [17]

The key features of polynomials are the vertex, axis of symmetry, x and y intercepts.

 

<span>1.    </span>The degree will help you find the end behavior.

<span>2.     </span>The vertex shows you where it changes concavity.

<span>3.     </span>X and y intercepts give you a couple of points of reference.

<span>4.     </span>Axis of symmetry is only applicable to even degree polynomials.

 

I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your queries and it will be able to help you in your endeavors, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
