Answer:

Take a glass, and fill it completely with water.

Now, pour that water in a marked bowl and measure how much water is in the bowl, that amount of water will be 100% of the total water that the glass can have.

Now you need to pour 3/5 of the water back in the glass, it is easier for water until the water in the bowl is exactly 2/5 of the initial amount.

You can do this as follows.

2/5 = 0.4 or 40% in percentage form.

Then if the amount of water in the marked bowl is A, the amount of water that must remain in the marked bowl is A*0.4

Then drop the water in the glass until the water in the marked bowl is the quantity that you found previously.

In this way, you can be sure that the glass is 3/5 full of water.

Company A offers a starting salary of $28000 with a raise of $3000 each year, Company B offers a starting salary of $36000 with

telo118 [61]

We can conclude that both will intersect at a certain angle, depending on this algorithm I created.

28000 + 3000x = 36000 + 2000x

The f(x) intercept for g(x) is = 9 and -9

If you square this by light, the arithmetic of 9x+5x=21s(x)

Thus we can simply and get 11 years.

A juggler tosses a ball into the air . The balls height, h and time t seconds can be represented by the equation h(t)= -16t^2+40

malfutka [58]

PART A

The given equation is

$h(t) = - 16 {t}^{2} + 40t + 4$

In order to find the maximum height, we write the function in the vertex form.

We factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + 4$

We add and subtract

$- 16(- \frac{5}{4} )^{2}$

to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + - 16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

We again factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} ) - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

This implies that,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} ) + 16( \frac{25}{16}) + 4$

The quadratic trinomial above is a perfect square.

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +25+ 4$

This finally simplifies to,

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29$

The vertex of this function is

$V( \frac{5}{4} ,29)$

The y-value of the vertex is the maximum value.

Therefore the maximum value is,

$29$

PART B

When the ball hits the ground,

$h(t) = 0$

This implies that,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29 = 0$

We add -29 to both sides to get,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = - 29$

This implies that,

$( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = \frac{29}{16}$

$t- \frac{5}{4} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{29}{16} }$

$t = \frac{5}{4} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{29} }{4}$

$t = \frac{ 5 + \sqrt{29} }{4} = 2.60$

or

$t = \frac{ 5 - \sqrt{29} }{4} = - 0.10$

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and pick,

$t = 2.60s$
