Days in boston=x
days in colorado=1.4x
boston+colorado=2.4x
475=2.4x
475/2.4=2.4x/2.4
198=x
198*1.4=277
days in boston=198
days in colorado=277
198+277=475
Well Im just guessing but 1 1/2 foot
Answer:
a.) 1.38 seconds
b.) 17.59ft
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -16t^2 + 22.08t + 6
if we were to graph this, the vertex of the function would be the point, which if we substituted into the function would give us the maximum height.
to find the vertex, since we are dealing with something called "quadratic form" ax^2+bx+c, we can use a formula to find the vertex
-b/2a
b=22.08
a=-16
-22.08/-16, we get 1.38 when the minuses cancel out. since our x is time, it will be 1.38 seconds
now since the vertex is 1.38, we can substitute 1.38 into the function to find the maximum height.
h(1.38)= -16(1.38)^2 + 22.08t + 6 -----> is maximum height.
approximately = 17.59ft -------> calculator used, and rounded to 2 significant figures.
for c the time can be equal to (69+sqrt(8511))/100, as the negative version would be incompatible since we are talking about time. or if you wanted a rounded decimal, approx 1.62 seconds.
First, make up some variables to represent the number of Girls and Boys in the choir.
B = number of boys
G = number of girls
You know that there are 4 times as many girls in the choir as boys. Therefore, the equation you can write is:

If you cross-multiply, then you get the simplified equation:
G = 4B
Intuitively this makes sense since if you multiplied the number of boys in the class by 4, that would be equal to the number of girls you have.
Now, we know that the total class size is 60. So girls plus boys equals 60:
G+B = 60
To solve the equation, replace the G in this equation with the replacement you found before, 4B.
G + B = 60 -->
4B + B = 60 -->
5B = 60 -->
B = 12
However, you are trying to find the number of girls, so plug the answer back into your equation.
G + B = 60 -->
G + 12 = 60 -->
G + 12 -12 = 60 - 12 -->
G = 48
The number of girls you have is 48.
Answer:
Yes, 2 is a rational number.
