Answer:

24000 pieces.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side lengths of cube = \frac{1}{4} \ foot

The part of the truck that is being filled is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions of 8 ft x 6 1/4 ft x 7 1/2 ft.

Question asked:

What is the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of cube, then volume of rectangular prism and then simply divide the volume of prism by volume of cube to find the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck.

Volume\ of\ cube =a^{3}

                          =\frac{1}{4} \times\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{64} \ cubic \ foot

                                   

Length = 8 foot, Breadth = 6\frac{1}{4} =\frac{25}{4} \ foot, Height =7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2} \ foot

Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism =length\times breadth\times height

                                                =8\times\frac{25}{4} \times\frac{15}{2} \\=\frac{3000}{8} =375\ cubic\ foot

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = Volume of prism divided by volume of cube

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = \frac{375}{\frac{1}{64} } =375\times64=24000\ pieces\ of\ cube

Thus, the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck is 24000 pieces.

Quadratic form to vertex form with a vertex of (-4,-1) and a y-intercept of 7
Arlecino [84]
The quadratic function in vertex form is:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

Where:

vertex = (h, k)
Axis of symmetry: x = h

The value of “a” determines whether the graph opens up or down, and makes the parent function wider or narrower.

The value of “h” determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.

The value of “k” determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

Now that we have these definitions, we can substitute the given values into the vertex form to solve for “a”:

Use vertex = (-4, -1) and y-intercept, (0, 7):

7 = a(0+ 4)^2 - 1
7 = a(4)^2 - 1
7 = a(16) - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

7 + 1 = a(16) - 1 + 1
8 = 16a

Divide both sides by 16 to solve for “a”:

8/16 = 16a/16
1/2 = a

Since a = 1/2 (which is positive, implying that the parabola opens upward), and the vertex occurs at point (-4, -1) as the minimum point:

The quadratic equation in vertex form is:

y = 1/2(x + 4)^2 - 1

Lorena is investing a $5000 inheritance from her aunt in a certificate of deposit that matures in 4 years. The interest rate is
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$6407.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound amount formula:  A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t), where

P is the original amount (the principal), r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years.

In this case, P = $5000, r = 0.0625, n = 4 and t = 4.  Thus,

A = $5000(1 + 0.0625/4)^(4*4), or

A = $5000(1.015625)^16 = $5000(1.2815) = $6407.73 (to the nearest cent)
