Answer:

b) $49

Step-by-step explanation:

The question here is not if Alexis can mow the lawn faster or slower than the person who hires (actually, the time that the person hired took to mow the lawn is irrelevant).

The important part is the time Alexis can save hiring someone:

  • Alexis mow her lawn in 30 minutes.
  • Alexis earns $100 an hour. Then 30 minutes of her time is worthy $50.

Then, paying $50 or less is a good choice for Alexis.

Therefore the answer is b) $49.

An object is propelled upward from the top of a 300 foot building. The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can
serg [7]

Answer:

As per the statement:

The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can be modeled by:

h =-16t^2 + 80t + 300

where

h is the height of the objects and

t is the time (in seconds)

At t = 0 , h = 300 ft

When the objects hit the ground, h = 0

then;

-16t^2+80t+300=0

For a quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0         ......[1]

the solution for the equation is given by:

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;  

a = -16 ,b = 80 and c = 300

then;

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{(80)^2-4(-16)(300)}}{2(-16)}

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{6400+19200}}{-32}

t= \frac{-80\pm \sqrt{25600}}{-32}  

Simplify:

t = -\frac{5}{2} = -2.5 sec and t = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 sec

Time can't be in negative;

therefore, the time it took the object to hit the ground is 7.5 sec

Solve equation using square roots (x-1)^2=4
Aneli [31]
X is equal 3. to do this, you do reverse of order of operations. So this means that you would to the 'times 2' first by dividing 4 by 2 to make it 2. then, in the parenthesis, since there is a 'minus 1', therefore you are going to add 1+2 which equals three.  <span />
