Answer: There are 20 students and 4 students are not here today.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of students = 4

Let the number of students be 'x'.

Fraction of students absent = \dfrac{x}{4}

If the number of students = 5

Fraction of students absent = \dfrac{x}{5}

And Jen came back,

So, the fraction of student absent is also written as

\dfrac{x}{4}-1

According to question, it becomes,

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{x}{4}-1\\\\\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{x-4}{4}\\\\4x=5(x-4)\\\\4x=5x-20\\\\4x-5x=-20\\\\-x=-20\\\\x=20

Hence, there are 20 students in our school.

And number of students are not here today is \dfrac{20}{5}=4

Answer:

The maximum height of the volleyball is 12.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the volleyball, h(t), is modeled by this equation, where t represents the  time, in seconds, after that ball was set :

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+6 ....(1)

The volleyball reaches its maximum height after 0.625 seconds.

For maximum height,

Put \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0

Now put t = 0.625 in equation (1)

h(t)=-16(0.625)^2+20(0.625)+6\\\\h(t)=12.25\ \text{feet}

So, the maximum height of the volleyball is 12.25 feet.

8. Patrice and Don buy a home for $92,000. The property tax rate is$39.50 per $1,000 of assessed value. The assessment rate is 4
Kaylis [27]

We start by calculating the assessed value, that is 41% of the price.

The price is $92,000.

Then, the assessed value is:

AV=a\cdot P=\frac{41}{100}\cdot92000=0.41\cdot92000=37720

The property tax rate is $39.50 per $1000 of assessed value, so we can express this rate as:

\text{tax rate}=\frac{39.50}{1000}=0.0395

We then can multiply this rate by the assessed value to calculate the total property tax:

\text{tax}=0.0395\cdot37720=1489.94

NOTE: we could have also multiplied 39.50 by 37.72. The value 37.72 is the thousands of dollars of assessed value. We would have obtained the same result: 39.50*37.72=1489.94.

Answer: the property tax is $1,489.94.
