Selena is standing on a rock cliff that is 52 feet high. She tosses a pebble upward over the edge, where it hits the top of a 12

foot high boulder. The quadratic equation that models the path of the pebble is given below. How long did it take for the pebble to hit the top of the boulder? p(t)=-16t^2+12t+52​

Answer: At t=\dfrac{3}{8}, the pebble hit the top of the boulder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance at which Selena is standing on a rock cliff = 52 feet

Height of boulder above a rock cliff = 12 foot

So, the given quadratic equation would be

p(t)=-16t^2+12t+52

First we derivative it w.r.t  t,

p'(t)=-32t+12

Now, we will find the critical value,

-32t+12=0\\\\-32t=-12\\\\t=\dfrac{12}{32}=\dfrac{6}{16}=\dfrac{3}{8}

Now, we will check whether it is maximum or not.

p''(t)=-32

So, we get that it is maximum.

Hence, at t=\dfrac{3}{8}, the pebble hit the top of the boulder.

What is the total cost of a pair of jeans that are priced $40.00 if there is a 6.5% sales tax? $40.65 $42.60 $44.00 $46.50
-Dominant- [34]
A pair of jeans = $40.00
There is a 6.5% sales tax.

First change the % into a decimal by moving the decimal point two spaces to the left.
0.065

Multiply that by 40.00 to find out how much the tax is.

40 × 0.065 = 2.6

Now add the tax to the initial price.
40.00 + 2.6 = 42.60

The total cost is $42.60.

Simplify the rational Expression <br>​
qaws [65]

Answer:

\frac{x^2+2x}{x-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor out numerator and denominator in order to simplify the rational expression by cancelling  common factors.

Numerator :  x^3 - 4 x = x (x^2 - 4) = x (x - 2) (x + 2)

Denominator (factoring by grouping):

x^2 - 5 x + 6 = x^2 - 3 x - 2 x + 6 = x (x - 3) - 2 (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x - 2)

Then we can cancel out the common factor (x - 2) in both numerator and denominator, leading to:

x (x + 2) / (x - 3) = (x^2 + 2)/ (x-3)

\frac{x^2+2x}{x-3}
