Answer:

The object will hit the ground after <u>9 seconds</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The height 'h' of an object varies with time 'x' as:

h(x)=-5(x+1)(x-9)

Now, we are asked to find the time 'x' when the height reaches ground after launch.

So, the height of the object on reaching ground will be 0 m. So, substituting 0 for 'h' and solving for 'x', we get:

0=-5(x+1)(x-9)\\\\\frac{0}{-5}=(x+1)(x-9)\\\\(x+1)(x-9)=0\\\\x+1=0\ or\ x-9=0\\\\x=-1\ or\ x=9

Therefore, there are two values of 'x' for which height is 0. The negative value is ignored as time can't be negative.

So, the value of 'x' is 9 seconds.

Hence, the object will hit the ground after 9 seconds.

The cost function in a computer manufacturing plant is C(x) = 0.28x^2-0.7x+1, where C(x) is the cost per hour in millions of dol
Licemer1 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $562,500 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost will be a minimum where C'(x) = 0.

 C'(x) = 0.56x -0.7 = 0

  x = 0.7/0.56 = 1.25

The cost at that production point is ...

  C(1.25) = (0.28×1.25 -0.7)1.25 +1 = -0.35×1.25 +1 = 0.5625

The minimum production cost is $562,500 per hour for production of 1250 items per hour.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This is different than the minimum cost <em>per item</em>. This level of production gives a per-item cost of $450. The minimum cost per item is $358.30 at a production level of 1890 per hour.

If Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park and spent $29. If right tickets cost $.75 ea
erica [24]

Answer: he purchased 16 ride tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ride tickets that he purchased.

Let y represent the number of game tickets that he purchased.

Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park. It means that

x + y = 50

If ride tickets cost $.75 each and game tickets cost $.50 each and the total amount spent on the tickets is $29, it means that

0.75x + 0.5y = 29- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.75(50 - y) + 0.5y = 29

37.5 - 0.75y + 0.5y = 29

- 0.75y + 0.5y = 29 - 37.5

- 0.25y = - 8.5

y = - 8.5/-0.25

y = 34

x = 50 - y = 50 - 34

x = 16
