Answer:

(-19/8, -9/16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the vertex of a parabola is situated on the axis of symmetry, which here is

-b -19

x = ------- = --------- = -2 3/8

2a 8

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, evaluate f(x)=4x^2+19x+12 at -19/8.

Using a calculator, we find that f(-19/8) = -10.5625.

Then the vertex is at (-19/8, -10.5625), or (-19/8, -9/16)

Dwayne drove 18 miles to the airport to pick up his father and then returned home. On the return trip he was able to drive an av

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance (in miles)

Let t = time (in hours)

Let v = average speed driving <u>to</u> the airport (in mph)

⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving <u>from</u> the airport (in mph)

Using: distance = speed x time

$\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

$\implies t=\dfrac{18}{v} \ \ \textsf{and} \ \ t=\dfrac{18}{v+15}$

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

$\implies \dfrac{18}{v} +\dfrac{18}{v+15}=1$

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)}{v(v+15)} +\dfrac{18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)+18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies 18(v+15)+18v=v(v+15)$

$\implies 18v+270+18v=v^2+15v$

$\implies v^2-21v-270=0$

$\implies (v-30)(v+9)=0$

$\implies v=30, v=-9$

As v is positive, v = 30 only

So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph

(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)

If the Laffite family deposits $8500 in savings account at 6.75% interest, compounded continuously, how much will be in the acco

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a compound interest problem. With an annual interest rate of 0.675 and an initial payment of 8500, with t = 25 years

Then you must use the annual compound interest formula, which is represented by a growing exponential function:

$y = e ^{ht}$

Where:

h is the interest rate of 0.675

y is the money in the savings account as a function of time

Then substitute the values in the formula and we have:

$y = e ^{0.675(25)}$

$y = 45,950.57$
