<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

There are 3900 workers in the three main buildings downtown. Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three. There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building. How many workers are in each building?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

There are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "b" be the number of workers in smallest building

Given that Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three

number of workers in largest building = 2b

Given that There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building

Number of workers in second largest building = 500 + b

Given that there are 3900 workers in 3 buildings

b + 2b + 500 + b = 3900

4b + 500 = 3900

4b = 3900 - 500

4b = 3400

b = 850

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building

workers in largest building = 2b = 2(850) = 1700

workers in second largest building = 500 + b = 500 + 850 = 1350

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

When does it reach maximum height?<br><br> H(t)=-16t^2+112t+288
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

484 feet  maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

H(t)=-16t^2+112t+288

The maximum height occurs at the vertex of this graph.  

Let us find the vertex.

vertex x-coordinate = -b/2a

x =  -b/2a = -(112)/ (2*-16) =  7/2 sec.

H(7/2) = - 16 *(7/2)^2 + 112*(7/2) +  288

H(7/2) = -196 + 392 + 288 = 484 feet ..

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to −x+2y=4 and passes through the point (−2, 1) ? Enter your equation in th
ANTONII [103]
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
y=mx+b is the slope intercept equation
m=slope

so get into y=mx+b form
-x+2y=4
solve for y
add x both sides
2y=x+4
divide by 2 both sides
y=(1/2)x+2
the slope is 1/2

perppendicular line slope multiplies to -1
1/2 times what=-1
times 2/1 both sides
what=-2/1=-2

y=-2x+b
find b
we are given a point is (-2,1)
when x=-2, y=1
1=-2(-2)+b
1=4+b
minus 3 both sides
-3=b

so the equation is
y=-2x-3

your teacher might want it in standard form (ax+by=c) so
add 2x both sides
2x+y=-3 is an equation


so y=-2x-3 is correct (slope intercept form)
2x+y=-3 is also correct (standard form)
