Answer:

<em>The app's estimate was 38.4 minutes.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the app's estimated time was t minutes.

Given that, it took 48 minutes to drive downtown. So, <u>the error in estimated time by the app</u> =(48-t) minutes.

It is also given that the error was 20%. So, <u>the amount of error</u> = (48*0.20)=9.6 minutes.

Thus, the equation will be......

48-t= 9.6\\ \\ -t=9.6-48\\ \\ -t=-38.4\\ \\ t= 38.4

So, the app's estimate was 38.4 minutes.

Find the simple interest earned in an account with $300 at 5% annual interest for 7 years.
Fiesta28 [93]

Option A

The simple interest earned is $ 105

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, $300 at 5% annual interest for 7 years

Therefore,

Principal = $ 300

Rate of interest = 5 %

Number of years = 7

<em><u>The simple interest is given by formula:</u></em>

Simple\ Interest = \frac{p \times n \times r }{100}

Where,

p is the principal

r is the rate of interest

n is the number of years

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula,</u></em>

Simple\ Interest = \frac{300 \times 7 \times 5 }{100}\\\\Simple\ Interest = 3 \times 7 \times 5\\\\Simple\ Interest = 105

Thus simple interest earned is $ 105

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

12.17secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that models the height as y=-16x^2+187x+93

The rocket will hit the groung at y = 0

The equation becomes;

0 =-16x^2+187x+93

16x^2-187x-93 = 0

Factorize

x = 187±√187²-4(16)(-93)/2(16)

x = 187±√34,969+5952/32

x = 187±√40,921/32

x = 187±202.29/32

x = 187+202.29/32

x = 389.29/32

x = 12.17secs

Hence the required time that t will take is 12.17secs
