Answer: A. x= 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle ,we need to multiply the length by the width.

It says the length is 3.2 and with is x so 3.2 times x has to equal 0.8 which is the area.

3.2 * x = 0.8 Now solve for x.

3.2x = 0.8 Divide both sides by 3.2

x= 0.25

April shoots an arrow upward into the air at a speed of 64 feet per second from a platform that is 11 feet high. The height of t

kogti [31]

Answer:

Maximum height of the arrow is 203 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The height of the arrow as a function of time t is given by :

$h(t)=-16t^2+64t+11$ ..........(1)

t is in seconds

We need to find the maximum height of the arrow. For maximum height differentiating equation (1) wrt t as :

$\dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}=0$

$\dfrac{d(-16t^2+64t+11)}{dt}=0$

$-32t+64=0$

t = 2 seconds

Put the value of t in equation (1) as :

$h(t)=-16(2)^2+64(2)+11$

h(t) = 203 feet

So, the maximum height reached by the arrow is 203 feet. Hence, this is the required solution.

Inequalities are used to express unequal expressions.

The inequalities from the word problems are:

$\mathbf{m - 3.5 \le -2}$ .
$\mathbf{0 \ge 2x + 1}$ .
$\mathbf{-\frac 12 \ge 2k - 4}$

The statements from the inequalities are:

-4 is not a solution to $\mathbf{x + 8 < -3}$
-6 is not a solution to $\mathbf{10 \le 3 - m}$
-1 is not a solution to $\mathbf{-3x \le -12.5}$

Graph b represents $\mathbf{x > -7}$

<h3>The word problems</h3>

<u>1. A number minus 3.5 is less than or equal to -2</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{A\ number\ minus\ 3.5 \to m - 3.5}$

$\mathbf{less\ than\ or\ equal\ to\ -2 \to \le -2}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{m - 3.5 \le -2}$

<u>2. Zero is greater than or equal to twice a number x plus 1</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{Zero\ is\ greater\ than\ or\ equal\ to \to 0 \ge }$

$\mathbf{twice\ a\ number\ x\ plus\ 1\ \to 2x + 1}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{0 \ge 2x + 1}$

<u />

<u>3. -1/2 is at least twice a number k minus 4</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{-\frac 12\ is\ at\ least \to -\frac 12 \ge }$

$\mathbf{twice\ a\ number\ k\ minus\ 4\ \to 2k - 4}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{-\frac12 \ge 2k - 4}$

None of the options is correct

<h3>The solutions</h3>

<u>4. Tell whether -4 is a solution to x + 8 < -3</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{x + 8$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$\mathbf{x + 8 - 8$

$\mathbf{x$

The above inequality means that:

-4 is not a solution, because -4 is greater than -11

<u>5. Tell whether -6 is a solution to 10 <= 3 - m</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{10 \le 3 - m}$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$\mathbf{10 -3\le 3 - 3 - m}$

$\mathbf{7 \le - m}$

Multiply both sides by -1 (the inequality sign changes)

$\mathbf{-7 \ge m}$

Make m the subject

$\mathbf{m \le -7}$

The above inequality means that:

-6 is not a solution, because -6 is greater than -7

<u>6. Tell whether -1 is a solution to -3x <= -12.5</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{-3x \le -12.5}$

Divide both sides by -3 (the inequality sign changes)

$\mathbf{x \ge 4\frac16}$

The above inequality means that:

<em>x is greater than or equal to </em> $\mathbf{4\frac16}$ <em />

-1 is not a solution, because -1 is less than $\mathbf{4\frac16}$ <em />

<h3>The graph</h3>

The inequality is given as: $\mathbf{x > -7}$

The less than sign (>) means that:

The graph would use an open circle
The arrow must point to the right

Only graph b satisfies this condition

Hence, the graph of $\mathbf{x > -7}$ is graph b
