Answer:
The potato is 224 feet in the air after 2.75 second on the way up and after 5 seconds on the way back down.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A potato launched by a particular potato gun has a height described by 
.
To find : When is the potato 224 feet in the air?
Solution :
When the potato is 224 feet in the air i.e. 
Substitute in the equation ,
Applying quadratic formula, 
Here, a=4, b=-31 and c=55
The potato is 224 feet in the air after 2.75 second on the way up and after 5 seconds on the way back down.
The answer would be 7. Another way to think of it is subtract 40-33. That gets you 7.
Answer:
Shira: x = 8
Samuel: m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.
Correct Solving:
2x - 2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides;
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2;
x = 8
Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.
Correct Solving:
-2(8m + 8) = -16
Distribute;
-16m - 16 = -16
Add 16 to both sides;
-16m = 0
Divide both sides by -16;
m = 0
Ok...we got 250 people
30% are French, 35% are Americans, 20% are Germans....thats 85%.
This means 15% are from other countries
3 not from other countries...
0.85 * 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.6
0.6(250) = 150 students <===
