Answer:
y = 5x+15
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost per calculator is 5
The shipping cost is 15
Let y = total cost
Let x = number of calculators
y = 5x+15
Answer:
x = 1/25
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
25 = 1/x
25 = 1/x is equivalent to 1/x = 25:
1/x = 25
Take the reciprocal of both sides:
Answer: x = 1/25
If you use this equation then you say that the ground is h=0 and solve as a quadratic.
The quadratic formula is (-b±<span>√(b^2-4ac))/2a when an equation is in the form ax^2 + bx + c
So the equation you have been given would be -16t^2-15t-151 = 0
This equation has no real roots which leads me to believe it is incorrect.
This is probably where your difficulty is coming from, it's a mistake.
The equation is formed from S=ut+(1/2)at^2+(So) where (So) is the initial height and S is the height that you want to find.
In this case you want S = 0.
If the initial height is +151 and the initial velocity and acceleration are downwards (negative) and the initial velocity (u) is -15 and the initial acceleration is -32 then you get the equation S=-15t-16t^2+151
Solving this using the quadratic formula gives you t = 2.64 or t = -3.58
Obviously -3.58s can't be the answer so you're left with 2.64 seconds.
Hope this makes sense.
