6 0

Answer:

 No . of people in department A =  350

No . of people in department B =  420

No . of people in department C = 504

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no . of people in department A be x

Given

Department B employs 70 people more than department A

Therefore,

no . of people in department B = x + 70

Again Given

department C employs 84 more workers than department B.

Therefore,

no . of people in department c = no . of people in department B + 84

no . of people in department c =  x + 70 + 84 = x + 154

Total no. of people in all the department in terms of x = x + x+ 70+ x+154

Total no. of people in all the department in terms of x = 3x +224

Problem says

Three departments of factory employ a total of 1274 people

Therefore

3x +224 = 1274

=> 3x = 1274 - 224 = 1050

=> x = 1050/3 = 350

Thus,

 no . of people in department A = x = 350

no . of people in department B = x + 70 = 350 + 70 = 420

no . of people in department c = x + 154 = 350 + 154 = 504

You launch a water balloon. The function h=-0.08t^2+1.6t+2 models the height h (in feet) of the water balloon after t seconds. W
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The initial height of the balloon is 2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the balloon in feet after t seconds is given by the following equation:

h(t) = -0.08t^{2} + 1.6t + 2

What is the initial height of the balloon?

This is h when t = 0, that is, h(0). So

h(0) = -0.08*0^{2} + 1.6*0 + 2 = 2

The initial height of the balloon is 2 feet.

Please Help.<br> Write the equation of linear Inequalities to represent each graph.
DerKrebs [107]

Green Line:

This is a horizontal line at x = 0, so it would be:

x ? 0      

Since the shaded area is going to the left of 0 (this means x is negative):

x ≤ 0


Blue Line:

The shaded area is below the line, so:

y ≤ mx + b

When x = 0, y is -5.

y ≤ mx - 5

From each point, you go up 3 units, and to the right 4 units, so the slope is \frac{3}{4}.


y\leq \frac{3}{4}x-5
