Sharon was going through the financial records of her company. The profit earned by the company, p(t), over time t, in years, fo

r five consecutive years can be modeled by a quartic function. Each of the following functions is a different form of the quartic model for the situation given above. Which form would be most helpful if attempting to determine the time at the which the company did not earn any profit?
a.p(t) = 40(t - 3)(t + 2)(t - 5)(t + 3)


b.p(t) = 40(t2 - t - 6)(t2 - 2t - 15)


c.p(t) = 40t(t3 - 3t2 - 19t + 27) + 3,600


d.p(t) = 40t4 - 120t3 - 760t2 + 1,080t + 3,600

For this case what we must do is find a quadratic function that is already factored.
 This is because in the factored quadratic equations, it is easier to observe the zeros of the function.
 In this case, the zeros of the function represent the time at which the company did not make any profit.
 We have the following equation:
 p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
 We observed that there was no gain in:
 t = 3
 t = 5
 The other roots are discarded because they are negative
 Answer:
 
a.p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)

A firecracker shoots up from a hill 140 feet high, with an initial speed of 100 feet per second. Using the formula H(t) = −16t2
V125BC [204]
<span>H(t) = −16t^2 + vt + s

</span>
<span>H(t) = −16t^2 + 100t + 140

H(t) = 0 = </span><span>−16t^2 + 100t + 140

16t^2 - 100t -140 = 0

t = [100 +/- √ (100^2 -4(16)(-140) ) ] /(2(16))

t = 7.43 and t = - 1.18.

El que tiene sentido para la pregunta es t = 7.43 s.

Option B) 7 s (approximately)

For the right triangles below, find the exact values of the side lengths b and d.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks the required diagram. Find the diagram attached below;

According to the first triangle, taking 30° as the reference angle, the opposite side of the triangle will be 5 and the adjacent will be the unknown side "b"

According to SOH, CAH, TOA;

tanθ = opposite/adjacent (using TOA)

Given;

θ = 30°, opposite = 5 and adjacent = b

tan30° = 5/b

b = 5/tan30°

b = 5/(1/√3)

b = 5*√3/1

b = 5√3

According to the 45° triangle, the opposite side of the triangle will be d and the hypotenuse will be 7

Using SOH;

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

Given;

θ = 45°, opposite = d and adjacent = 7

sin45° = d/7

d = 7sin45°

d = 7(1/√2)

d = 7/√2

Rationalize 7/√2

= 7/√2*√2/√2

=7√2/2

Hence the value of d is 7√2/2

D.) is 13/5 it got cut off<br> HELP NEEDED<br> [10 points up!]
vodomira [7]

It would be A. You can find this out by using SOH CAH TOA,

SOH means sin= opposite/hypotenuse

CAH mean cos= adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA means tangent= opposite/adjacent

You would use CAH since you are trying to find cos∠C

You would have cos∠C=10/26.

26 is the hypotenuse since it is opposite the right angle and is the biggest side.

10 is the adjacent since it is right next to C

You would simplify this down to 5/13 by dividing by 2.

This gives you A.

Erica had 6 coins in her coin collection. she goes to a coin show and buys some coins. how many dose she have now?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Since, it is not given how many coins did Erica buy at the coin show, so, we can suppose that Erica bought "n" coins from the coin show.

Now, we know that Erica already had 6 coins in her coin collection before she went to the coin show and bought the "n" coins.

Therefore, the total number of coins that Erica will have in her possession after buying "n" coins from the coin show will be 6+n.
