When Joey dives off a diving board, the equation of his pathway can be modeled by h = -16t2 + 15t + 12. A) Find Joey's maximum h
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) 15.52ft

b) 0.47 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t^2 + 15t + 12

The maximum height is reached after -b/2a seconds

a = -16 , b = 15, c= 12

-b/2a = -15/2(-16)

= -15/-32

= 0.47 secs

The maximum height = -16(0.47)^2 + 15(0.47) + 12

= -3.5344 + 7.05 + 12

= 15.5156

= 15.52ft

Emma goes miniature golfing. She pays $7.50 for an admission ticket and $6.25 for each round she golfs. The total amount Emma pa
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine the number of rounds that Emma golfs is:

x=(c-7.50)/6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the total amount Emma pays to go miniature golfing is equal to the price of the admission ticket plus the result of multiplying the price per round of golf for the number of rounds and according to this, the equation would be:

c=7.50+6.25x, where:

c is the total cost for Emma to go miniature golfing

x is the number of rounds

Now, you can solve for x to determine the equation that can be used to find the number of rounds that Emma golfs:

x=(c-7.50)/6.25

You can replace c with 26.25:

x=(26.25-7.50)/6.25

x=18.75/6.25

x=3

The rational number lies between −67/7 and−78/8
zheka24 [161]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   -135/14

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of rational numbers between any pair of numbers you name. These two number have the decimal values ...

  -67/7 = -9 4/7 = -9.571428... (repeating)

  -78/8 = -9 3/4 = -9.75

So, numbers like -9.6 = -48/5, or -9.7 = -97/10 are rational numbers that lie in the range you specified.

If you like, you can convert these numbers to ones with a common denominator (56).

 -67/7 = -536/56

 -78/8 = -546/56

These limits suggest several possible rational numbers with 56 as a denominator: -540/56 = -135/14, for example.

A man purchased a magazine at the airport for $2.69. The tax on the purchase was $0.13. What is the tax rate at the airport? The
alexdok [17]

We need to find the percent, let's start but making the equation.

The price is 2.69

The tax cost is 0.13

So what percent of 2.69 is = 0.13.

Equation: X/100 x 2.69 = 0.13

Multiply each side by 100 so we can get x alone with the price: 2.69x = 13

Now to get x alone, we must divide both sides by 2.69: x = 4.8

Finally, we just round 4.8 to the nearest whole number, which is 5 (5 or above give it a shove, 4 or below let it go, we have 8 so we give it a shove). This means that the answer will be 5%.

I hope this helps! :)
