Answer: The value of b is $0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bottles co0llected = 14+9 =23

Payment for each bottle = b

Total payment she will get = 23b

One -time service fee = $0.25

She has left = $3.20

According to the question,

23b - 0.25 = 3.20

⇒23b = 3.20+0.25

⇒23b = 3.45

⇒b = 0.15   [divide both sides by 23]

Cost of each bottle = $ 0.15

hence, the value of b is $0.15.

Factor completely.<br><br> 3x^2 −147=
erica [24]

Answer:

3(x - 7)(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this, you must first take out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), that 3x^2 and -147 both have. The terms only have 3 in common, which can be divided with

3x^2 - 147\\3(x^2 - 49)

However, we're still not done since 49 is a perfect square and (x^2 - 49) can be split into 2, like so:

3(x - 7)(x+7)

If you're unsure about the final answer, you can multiply it all together to see if you got the original expression.

An irrigation system (sprinkler) has a parabolic pattern. The height, in feet, of the spray of water is given by the equation h(
jasenka [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 7.5 ft
  • 32.5 ft, 5 ft
  • 10.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The starting height is h(0) = 7.5 feet, the constant in the quadratic function.

The irrigation system is positioned <u> 7.5 </u> feet above the ground

__

b) The axis of symmetry for quadratic ax^2 +bx +c is x = -b/(2a). For this quadratic, that is x=-10/(2(-1)) = 5. This is the horizontal distance to the point of maximum height. The maximum height is ...

  h(5) = (-5 +10)(5) +7.5 = 32.5 . . . feet

The spray reaches a maximum height of <u> 32.5 </u> feet at a horizontal distance of <u> 5 </u> feet from the sprinkler head.

__

c) The maximum distance will be √32.5 + 5 ≈ 10.7 ft.

The spray reaches the ground at about <u> 10.7 </u> feet away.

What is 1 out of 7 + 1/2 plz help
scoray [572]
Answer: 9/14

Explanation. First, you have to find the least common denominator. The least common denominator is the lowest number you can use on the denominator to create a set of equivalent fractions

7 and 2 can both go into 14
Whatever number you use to multiply to equal 14, you do the same to the top.
It would look like this.

2/14 + 7/14
Then you add.

2/14 + 7/14= 9/14
You can’t simplify this fraction so this is your answer. Hope this helped!
