3. A water balloon was thrown

Mathematics

Note: It the given equation the coefficient of x^2 must be -16 instead of 16.

Given:

Consider the height  of the water balloon over  time can be modeled by the  function

y=-16x^2+160x+50

To find:

The maximum height of the water balloon  after it was thrown.

Solution:

We have,

y=-16x^2+160x+50

Here, leading coefficient is negative. So, it is a downward parabola and vertex of a downward parabola, is the point of maxima.

If a parabola is f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, then

Vertex=\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right)

Here, a=-16,b=160,c=50. So,

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{160}{2(-16)}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{160}{-32}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=5

Now, put x=5 in the given equation.

y=-16(5)^2+160(5)+50

y=-16(25)+800+50

y=-400+850

y=450

The vertex of the given parabolic equation is (5,450).

Therefore, the maximum height of the balloon is 450 units after 5 units of time.

Sierra is going on a field trip that costs $48. The cost includes $20 for transportation and two tickets that each cost the same
True [87]
We know that there are two tickets (which we'll represent with x) and a fee for transporation (which is $20)

So we can set up the equation 20+2x=48

We want to isolate x so we'll subtract 20 from each side, which gives us the equation
2x=28

Then divide each side by 2
Giving us the final answer of

x=14

So each ticket costs $14

A yacht that travels 1.375 km in 165 minutes expressed in km/h
Tomtit [17]

The speed of a yacht traveling a distance of 1.357 km in 165 minutes is 0.5 km/h

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

The speed of an object is the distance covered by the object in respect to time.

Mathematically:

\mathbf{Speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}}

\mathbf{Speed = \dfrac{1.375 \ km}{165 minutes }}

  • We know that 60 minutes = 1 hour
  • 165 minutes = 2.75 hours

\mathbf{Speed = \dfrac{1.375 \ km}{2.75 \ hours}}

Speed = 0.5 km/hour
