Sally’s dance school had 60 students last year. This year there are only 48 students enrolled. By what percent did the enrollmen

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

-20%

My brain is weird on how i figure it out but I divided 48 by 60 and got .80 so i just got the other whole to make it 1 so it is 20%. This is not the correct way to do this but this is how i got my answer.

Answer:

The ball reached its maximum height of ( $11\ yards$ ) in ( $1\ second$ ).

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is essentially asking one to find the vertex of the parabola formed by the given equation. One could plot the equation, but it would be far more efficient to complete the square. Completing the square of an equation is a process by which a person converts the equation of a parabola from standard form to vertex form.

The first step in completing the square is to group the quadratic and linear term:

$h(t)=-5t^2 + 10t + 6\\\\h(t) = (-5t^2 + 10t) + 6$

Now factor out the coefficient of the quadratic term:

$h(t)=-5(t^2 -2t) + 6$

After doing so, add a constant such that the terms inside the parenthesis form a perfect square, don't forget to balance the equation by adding the inverse of the added constant term:

$h(t) = -5(t^2 -2t) + 6\\\\h(t) = -5(t^2 -2t + 1 -1 ) + 6$

Now take the balancing term out of the parenthesis:

$\\\\h(t)=-5(t^2 -2t + 1) + 6 + ((-1)(-5))$

Simplify:

$h(t) = -5(t^2 -2t + 1) + 6 + 5\\\\h(t) = -5(t-1)^2 + 11$

The x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is equal to the additive inverse of the numerical part of the quadratic term. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the constant term outside of the parenthesis. Thus, the vertex of the parabola is:

$(1, 11)$

From the top of a tower, an object which is 97 m away from the base of the tower, is at a 37° angle of depression.

<h3>Answer: 73</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

Check out the diagram below. Note the pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent (each 37 degrees). Then focus on triangle ABC. With the reference angle being at A, this means we use the tangent function because BC = x is the opposite side and AB = 97 is the adjacent side.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AB

tan(37) = x/97

97*tan(37) = x

x = 97*tan(37)

x = 73.094742859971

For the last step, you'll need a calculator that can handle trig functions. Make sure the calculator is in degree mode. The result here is approximate. This rounds to 73 when rounding to the nearest whole number.
