Answer:

17a) Joanne is not correct because 8+8+8+5=29 cups of punch

17b) it will fit because 29 cups=7.25 quarts and 8 1-quart containers will be more than enough

Step-by-step explanation:

17a) REMEMBER TO COVERT THE QUARTS,GALLONS,and pints to cups

4 pints=8 cups

5 cups=5 cups

1/2 gallon=8 cups

2 quarts=8 cups

add the "cup" measurements together

17b) convert 29 cups into quarts

29 cups=7.25 quarts

7.25<8

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,

$t = 2.60s$

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.

BARSIC [14]

Look carefully at the first pair: (−3, 9), (−3, −5) Note that x does not change, tho' y does. This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined). The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.

Looking at the second pair: from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.

Third pair: as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis). The slope is undefined.
