On a movie set, an archway is modeled by the equation y = -0.5x2 + 3x, where y is the height in feet and x is the horizontal dis

tance in feet. A laser is directed at the archway at an angle modeled by the equation -0.5x + 2.42y = 7.65 such that the beam crosses the archway at points A and B. At what height from the ground are the points A and B?

This question really just needs you to solve the system of equations.  These solutions will be the two points when the curve (archway) and the line (laser) intersect.

Let us express the laser line in terms of y.

-.5x+2.42y=7.65

2.42y=.5x+7.65

y=(.5x+7.65)/2.42

The curve is just y=-.5x^2+3x so when it intersects the curve, y=y and x=x so  we can say:

(.5x+7.65)/2.42=-.5x^2+3x

.5x+7.65=-1.21x^2+7.26x

1.21x^2-6.76x+7.65=0  using the quadratic for simplicity and solving for x:

x=(6.76±√8.6716)/2.42

x≈1.577, 4.010  (to nearest thousandth)

So the heights can found using the simple linear equation y=(.5x+7.65)/2.42 with those values of x...

y≈3.49, 3.99

A chef uses 3 3/4 pounds of semolina flour and 1 5/8 pound whole wheat flour for each batch of pasta she makes.one week she uses
Maurinko [17]
It is to be noted that for this item, we more concern of the pounds of flour. The number of batches is calculated by dividing the total mass of flour used by the amount per batch. That is,
                                              n = 86 lbs / (1 + 5/8 lbs/batch)
                                              n = 52.92 batch
Thus, the chef makes approximately 53 batches of pasta.

Need help with this question please!

I would say it is A because if you subtract <em>p,</em> the original price by $2.50, you would get <em>d, </em>the discounted price. Look at B u see that you're adding the discount which doesn't make sense. Looking at C, the discounted price of different prices can't always be the same. And finally, D, the discounted price is greater than the original. Also, if you subtract you would get different discounts.

the price of a 14 oz box of crackers is $2.94. the price of a 20 oz box is $3.60. what is the difference in price per ounce ?​
solong [7]

Answer:

The difference in price per ounce of the boxes is $0.03 or 3 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide each dollar amount by the ounces. The answer to $2.94 divided by 14 is 21 cents. $3.60 divided by 20 is 18 cents. Subtract 18 cents from 21 cents to get 3 cents.
