Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An 80 watt incandescent light bulb is operated for 15 hours. This means that the number of watt hour hours used is 80×15 = 1200 kilo watt hour.

A 15 watt fluorescent light bulb is operated for the same period of time. This means that the number of watt hour hours used is 15 ×15 = 225 kilo watt hour.

At 10 cents per kWh, the total cost of 1200 kilo watt hour would be 1200×10 = 12000 cents = $120

At 10 cents per kWh, the total cost of 225 kilo watt hour would be 225×10 = 2250 cents = $22.5

The cost savings in using the fluorescent bulb would be 120 - 22.5 =$ 97.5

The graph of a quadratic function contains (4,-64) and it's vertex is at the origin.write an equation for this function.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure what form you need this in, but it really doesn't matter, as you'll see in the final equation.  I used the vertex form and solved for a:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

We are given the vertex (h, k) as the origin (0, 0), and we have a point that the graph goes through as (4, -64).  That's our x and y.  Plugging in what we have:

-64=a(4-0)^2+0 gives us

-64 = 16a and

a = -4.  That means that the quadratic equation is

y=-4x^2  which is both vertex form and standard form here, no difference.

At maximum speed, an airplane travels 2,400 miles against the wind in 6 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the sa
Hatshy [7]
X - y  = 2400/6 = 400        where x = speed of plane and y = speed of wind.

x + y =  2400/5 = 480          - flying with the wind

adding the 2 equations 
2x = 880
x = 440

Speed of the plane with no wind = 440 mph
