Answer: The roots of the equation when y = 0 are 0 and 0.3

In this situation the root means the time (in seconds) since the penguin is inside the water.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height y (in feet) of a porpoising penguin can be modeled by

y=-16x^2+4.8x, where x is the time (in seconds) since the penguin leaped out of the water.

When y=0, then

-16x^2+4.8x=0

Taking 16x as common from both terms as gcf, we get

16x(-x+0.3)=0\\\Rightarrow\ 16x=0\ or\ -x+0.3=0\\\Rightarrow\ x=0\ or\ x=0.3

The roots of the equation when y = 0 are 0 and 0.3

In this situation the root means the time (in seconds) since the penguin is inside the water.

You buy items costing $1900 and finance the cost with a fixed installment loan for 24 months at 8% simple interest per year.
ddd [48]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. $304
  2. $91.83

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The finance charge is found from the simple interest formula;

  I = Prt

where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years.

24 months is 2 years, so the interest charged is ...

  I = $1900×0.08×2 = $304

The finance charge is $304.

__

2. The monthly payment will be the total amount due, divided by the number of months.

  payment = ($1900 +304)/24 = $2204/24 ≈ $91.83

The monthly payment is $91.83.

Yeah bro just take the 2 and subtract on both side so the y is left alone flip the 100 so now its 001 divide it by 1 and the answer is 007 like the spy.
