A game designer must decide how to color four buildings that are in a row. Using only the colors yellow, green, red, and blue, e

ach building must be painted with exactly one color. Any two neighboring buildings must be different colors, and the first and last buildings must be different colors. How many ways are there to paint the four buildings?

Answer:

The number of ways are there to paint the four buildings is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

I) let the first building be any color. Therefore the first building can be painted with any of the 4 colors.

Therefore the first building can be colored in 4 ways.

ii) the second building can be colored in 3 ways since it cannot be colored the

same color as the first building.

iii) the third building can also be colored in 3 ways.

iv) the last building can be colored in 2 ways because it cannot be the same color as the first building or the color of the adjacent building.

Therefore the total number of ways the buildings can be colored = 4 \times 3 \times 3  \times 2 = 48.

Rationalize the denominator of the fraction: √5/√8 - √3
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The editor must have brackets put around the denominator when there are 2 terms.

That means I think the question is (√5) / (√8 - √3). If this is incorrect, leave a note.

To rationalize the denominator, you must multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate  (√8 + √3).

Solution

√5 *  (√8 - √3) /  ( (√8 - √3) *  (√8 + √3)  )  

I don't think there is any point in removing the brackets in the numerator. Just leave it.

The denominator is a different matter.

denominator = ( (√8 - √3) *  (√8 + √3)  )

√8 * √8 = 8

√8 * √3 = √24

- √3 * √8 = - √24

-√3 * √3 = - 3

Take a close look at the 2 middle terms. They cancel out because one of them is plus and the other minus.

What you are left with is 8 - 3 = 5

So the final answer is

√5 *  (√8 - √3)

A juggler tosses a ball into the air . The balls height, h and time t seconds can be represented by the equation h(t)= -16t^2+40
malfutka [58]
PART A

The given equation is

h(t) = - 16 {t}^{2} + 40t + 4

In order to find the maximum height, we write the function in the vertex form.

We factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + 4

We add and subtract

- 16(- \frac{5}{4} )^{2}

to get,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + - 16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4

We again factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} ) - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4

This implies that,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} ) + 16( \frac{25}{16}) + 4

The quadratic trinomial above is a perfect square.

h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +25+ 4

This finally simplifies to,

h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29

The vertex of this function is

V( \frac{5}{4} ,29)

The y-value of the vertex is the maximum value.

Therefore the maximum value is,

29

PART B

When the ball hits the ground,

h(t) = 0

This implies that,

- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29 = 0

We add -29 to both sides to get,

- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = - 29

This implies that,

( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = \frac{29}{16}

t- \frac{5}{4} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{29}{16} }

t = \frac{5}{4} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{29} }{4}

t = \frac{ 5 + \sqrt{29} }{4} = 2.60

or

t = \frac{ 5 - \sqrt{29} }{4} = - 0.10

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and pick,

t = 2.60s

A store manager timed Janette to see how long it would take her to fold and put away a sweater, a shirt, a pair of pants, and a
Luden [163]
Well, it's the average amount of time, so add 26.1 + 24.3 + 32.8 + 18.2. That equals 101.4 seconds or 1 minute and 41.4 seconds.
